[Irish Bernie]

I've been through the Meseta with a pilgrim with no name,it feels good to be out of Leon

 

[NualaOC]

I've been through the Meseta with a pilgrim with no name,it feels good to be out of Leon

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound ...... yep, that sounds just like the Meseta!

No playlist but often in my mind runs this refrain.

"...There's a long, long trail a-winding
Into the land of my dreams,
Where the nightingales are singing
And a white moon beams.
There's a long, long night of waiting
Until my dreams all come true;
Till the day when I'll be going down
That long, long trail with you."

by Stoddard King/ Zo Elliot, 1913

 

[Irish Bernie]

"Highway to Hell," maybe?

I walked straight through Sarria

 

[Sue M]

"For he shall give his angels charge over thee" from 'Elijah' by Mendelssohn. Wesi g in St. Michael's Singers at Coventry Cathedral and sang this the week before I left. It kept running through my head while I was walking and I sang it in empty chuches along the Way.

 

[ktchnofdngr]

I'm still debating about whether I'm going to put some music on my phone, as I took my ipod last Camino and only listened to it once in 23 days. However, I do know that this song will be one of my songs if I do.

Wow! You people are so clever to come up with so many songs that are so applicable to the Camino! This thread is really making me smile!

 

[Lucy Keenan]

Brilliant
Walk this Way great and all that applicable to lots of rain!

 

[Prentiss Riddle]

This would have to be mine.

 

[Prentiss Riddle]

My wife contributes this from Shakespeare.

Jog on, jog on, the footpath way
And merrily bent the stile-a;
Your merry heart goes all the day,
Your sad tires in a mile-a.

Which he borrowed from an existing folk tune.

Out of curiosity I searched for "el-camino lyrics" and found a whole lot of country and rockabilly songs about the car/truck chimera.

Beware, there's one popular El Camino song which is most definitely not PG! Google it at your peril.

'These boots were made for walkin'...'

 

[Camino Chrissy]

I never realized that so many well known songs had lyrics that talked about "walking"! This thread has been a fun eye opener for me!
