No, please list away! How about "bound" to twenty groups or performers?@AugustCaminodeb
Although I prefer to walk without musical deterrioration I'm huge fan of music. So, are we bond to "just 10" preferred performers/songs. Well, my list could be like War and peace novel lenght for me
Enjoy it!
Let's see (and it's right now and here and not on the Camino!!!). It's different, when I walk I listen only to natural sounds, and while resting:No, please list away! How about "bound" to twenty groups or performers?
Let's see (and it's right now and here and not on the Camino!!!). It's different, when I walk I listen only to natural sounds, and while resting:
- Pietro Mascagni - Cavaleria Rusticana (Intermezzo) - ideal for Meseta for me, at least that's how I feel about it (),
- Peter I. Tschaikowsky - Piano Concert No.1 () - late afternoon lights on Meseta, especially when the storm is coming in!!!,
- Frederic Chopin - "Spring Waltz" (for early risers -)
- see link in my signature

Huh, had some tough time extracting those since there's so much "..............." music
You're so fun! It's going to take me so ********* long to listen to what you like but I am so fascinated. Thank you for the amazing investment in time. I have already listened to MC5, who I had never heard of. Interesting!
Have to add (due to very long "song") that if bored you should start to listen at approx.08:30.If you don't know MC5 maybe this would be in the same cathegory after finishing your Camino:

AgreeHis guitar playing is spectacular. Big fat WOW.
The song that has come to epitomize the Camino for me, very personally, is Joan Baez singing "Forever Young". I rarely listen to music while walking, but found myself on the meseta listening to her singing Bob Dylan's words.
To read the lyrics and my personal description, see my blog post at http://tritetales.com/2014/11/08/forever-young/

Funny..."my" Camino song is Cantares by Joan Manuel Serrat. My mother adored him and Antonio Machado (who wrote the poem the song is based on). I grew up hearing it constantly throughout the 70s. It is a beautiful song and it is perfect for the Camino and for walking. But mostly I just feel like she is walking with me a little bit.I love playing Joan Baez on the piano. I absolutely love her voice. She published a book of her music, with sketches she did herself. It is very special to me, as my mother bought it for me in the late 60's/early 70's. I played piano very well for a young girl, and she bought me books and books and sheets of music. I still have Joan Baez's music. Exquisite. I will read your lyrics and description, very gladly.
For me, music is pain medication. When I need to just stop thinking and go into a different space, I listen. Also, certain songs bring people back to me.
I'm attaching this from an online translation. I am very interested in Machado: in a thread I started some weeks back (Poetry for the Camino or something like that), someone posted this poem that you have attached as the song. I was fascinated by it, as it is so ephemeral and perfect for the camino. Camacho writes beautifully. Thank you for sharing the song.

Antonio Machado - Cantares
Antonio Machado
Cantares Antonio Machado
Singings
Todo pasa y todo queda, Everything passes and everything stays,
pero lo nuestro es pasar, but our fate is to pass,
pasar haciendo caminos, to pass making paths,
caminos sobre el mar. paths on the sea.
Nunca persequí la gloria, I never looked for glory,
ni dejar en la memoria nor to leave in the memory
de los hombres mi canción; of mankind my song;
yo amo los mundos sutiles, I love subtle worlds,
ingrávidos y gentiles, lightnessful and gentile, (weightless and gentle)
como pompas de jabón. like soap bubbles.
Me gusta verlos pintarse I like to watch them painting
de sol y grana, volar of sun and garnet, to fly
bajo el cielo azul, temblar under the blue sky, tremble
súbitamente y quebrarse... suddenly and break...
Nunca perseguí la gloria. I never looked for glory.
Caminante, son tus huellas Walker, your treads are
el camino y nada más; the path and nothing more;
caminante, no hay camino, walker, there is no path,
se hace camino al andar. the path is made when walking.
Al andar se hace camino When walking the path is made
y al volver la vista atrás and when looking back
se ve la senda que nunca you see the path that never
se ha de volver a pisar. has to be walked again.
Caminante no hay camino Walker, there is no path,
sino estelas en la mar... but trails in the sea...
Hace algún tiempo en ese lugar Some time ago in that place
donde hoy los bosques se visten de espinos where woods dress with hawthorns today
se oyó la voz de un poeta gritar the voice of a poet was heard, screaming
"Caminante no hay camino, 'Walker, there is no path,
se hace camino al andar..." the path is made when walking...'
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso... Stroke by stroke, verse by verse...
Murió el poeta lejos del hogar. The poet died far away from home.
Le cubre el polvo de un país He's covered by dust of a neighboring
vecino. country.
Al alejarse le vieron llorar. When going away, they saw him crying. (From a distance not when going away)
"Caminante no hay camino, 'Walker, there is no path,
se hace camino al andar..." the path is made when walking...'
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso... Stroke by stroke, verse by verse...
Cuando el jilguero no puede cantar. When the goldfinch cannot sing.
Cuando el poeta es un peregrino, When the poet is a pilgrim,
cuando de nada nos sirve rezar. when praying has no use.
"Caminante no hay camino, 'Walker, there is no path,
se hace camino al andar..." the path is made when walking...'
Golpe a golpe, verso a verso. Stroke by stroke, verse by verse.
My mother wrote her dissertation on Machado and Lorca , so I am at least familiar with a lot of each poet's work. One night on Camino after sharing a little too much wine a bunch of us started singing it. Very loudly. So fun!
You'd better believe I'll be listening to music! The first 10 songs I will listen to on my camino - haven't finalized the order yet. All remind me why I'm walking.
Blue Sky - Allman Brothers, the studio version -this one puts me in high gear

try some JJ Cale best album is 5Sorry, purists, but I will be listening to some music during my walk. I respect you and thank you in advance for not raining on my parade, but these are musicians that "I" would like to listen to as I walk (on occasion, when I'm not meditating, praying, chatting, or listening to birdsong, wind, and water):
1. U2--one of my favorites from the 80's, this band reminds me of Joshua Tree in California, of the Baja Peninsula, and of driving through the Southwest (in the USA). Just for old times' sake.
2. Coldplay--some clever lyrics, and I'd like to know their music--albeit commercial--better.
3. Tony Bennet--go figure. I just love his voice and lyrics, the sweeping orchestral introductions, and the smoothness of the melody lines.
4. Nat King Cole---for the same reasons. Unforgettable, Ramblin' Rose, Lazy Crazy Days of Summer....I love it all.
5. Seals and Crofts--harmonies that I love so dearly.
6. Cat Stevens--just because.
7. The Beatles--for their clever lyrics and absolute familiarity. I was raised on their music, for heaven's sake!
8. Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor, Carole King, The Mamas and Papas: more old favorites. Yes, I'm aware that I just put four entertainers in one area here. I can do that
9. Spanish classical guitar, by anyone. I love to listen to it on Pandora, and it is a stunning accompaniment to my viewing of your posts and photographs, which I love to view while the music runs up and down my soul!
10. What would YOU include for a list, or just for a number 10? Again, I apologize, purists.
----Buen Recalcitrant Music Lover Camino--
I don't think that I shall be listening to music when I walk, but at other times, yes. I am making a selection from music that I can borrow on my ipad through my public library. So far, I have chosen mostly classical and religious music, including Holst's "The Planets", Beethoven's Cello Sonatas, Vivaldi"s The Fours Seasons, Spanish guitar classics; Hildegard von Bingen, Cantos Gregorianos and 99 Essential Chants by the monks of the monastery of Santo Domingo de Silos, Classics for Choir (choir of Trinity College, Cambridge), Stanford: Sacred Choral Works. I was delighted to discover the recordings by the monks of Silos, as I plan to visit and hear them sing.
I think that was me! It's my signature quote on this forum actually. I love that poem.someone posted this poem that you have attached as the song.
I love it that you love that poem!I think that was me! It's my signature quote on this forum actually. I love that poem.
that is so beautiful I don't understand a word but it is beautiful anyway
there seems to be something I like in almost everyone lists my list of artists is long here a few I will be listening to
Led Zeppelin
Bee Gees
Carol King
James Taylor
Pavorotti
The Righteous Brothers
Leonard Cohen
Cat Stevens
Edith Piaf
Dean Martin
Garth Brooks etc, etc, etc
I'm currently listening to Allison Krauss...again. I love her voice.
Her live album is arguably one of the top ten albums in DurhamParish history.
Do you ever look at her videos on YouTube? Works of art!!! Beautiful lady, beautiful music.
Her song "When You Say Nothing at All" is one of my all-time favorite songs, and was to have been my wedding dance. Instead, my husband serenaded my father with Thoroughgood's "Bad to the Bone". It has been an issue for us for ten years, and he hopes to redeem himself at our daughter's (my stepdaughter's) wedding in September!
"Old Mr. Webster could never define,
What's being said between you heart and mine"
Two of the most moving lines of poetry ever written. Robert Burns couldn't have done better.
It had to have been disappointing to have this substituted by George and the Delaware Destroyers . . . . . . yet, if there had to be something to be disappointed by, at least it was Thoroughgood . . . . . .
I love that couplet too, as a matter of fact. It is humorous, subtle, and intimate, all at the same time. Of course, as an english teacher, I also love the dictionary allusion to Daniel Webster. I'm so glad you like those lyrics.
To be honest, I find most people on this forum to be pretty cerebral. It's very refreshing! Much, much nicer than Facebook.
that is so beautiful I don't understand a word but it is beautiful anyway
Yes - an oversight. I also left off SRV, Susan Tedeschi, Buddy Holly, some naco music I like, Dale Watson, Hal Ketchum and ...well a few others. These past two weeks have been SWSX in Austin! Hard to keep up!You missed Steve Earle! Tell me it was an oversight, please.

I like your list.Ten more songs for my camino:
Who Knows Where the Time Goes - Sandy Denny
Wall of Death - Richard Thompson: probably belongs in my first ten
Sometimes - Jonathan Edwards
Wide River to Cross - Levon Helm
Safety Rope - Mick Flannery
High Horse - Graham Parker
No Blue Sky - The Thorns
Mama Told me Not to Come - the orginal Randy Newman verion
I Was in the House When the House Burned Down - Warren Zevon
Cakewalk Into Town - Taj Mahal: to accompany my entrance into Santiago
I like your list.
Randy Newman has such an unusual voice, and his songs are so creative. I can remember when he came out with his song "Short People."
I didn't realize that the song that I thought was 3 Dog Night originally was Randy Newman--is that the song you mean?
Taj Mahal: one of my best friends got me listening to that group years ago. I look forward to listening to all these songs. Thanks so much.
