Morning tunes for hiking

[Dogwood]

For those that may include tunes to start their day of hiking what do you listen to? I get it, birds chirping, winds blowing, wildlife rustling, rain drops pattering on leaves and the tent, pre dawn light shading the landscape is great. It's not excluded from morning start ups but for those that may include man made music what do you like?

Depending on my vibe here are some that I like:

Back in college my roommate and I listened to Float On by Modest Mouse most days to get moving after a long night out. This past weekend I listened to the Allman Brothers most mornings to get moving. One Way Out is always a good one. I normally don't listen to music once I get moving but while packing up and drinking my morning coffee, always.

Railroad Earth....Elko album...lots of good tracks i.e. Hunting song, Mighty River etc...other favorite bands Inc
Galactic, Stick figure, Rebelution, JJ Grey and Mofro, Mishka, Eddie Vedder, CSNY to name a few.........love Spotify well worth the $9.99 per month.....

Studlintsean I prefer Jessica by Allman Brothers basically at any time but in the morn when I'm not up too Warp 7 out of the gate. I like Jessica 3 or 4th tune in the line up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRDivUb5EeA

Perhaps Bob Seger's Travelin Man or Roll Ne Away first.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzGhc9XRv9Q Live Bullet Album version I like best. Great morning song.

Rill Rill - Sleigh Bells
Up To The Mountain - Patty Griffin
La Frontera - Lhasa De Sela
Who Will Sing Me Lullabies - Kate Rusby
Shadow Stabbing - Cake

Mr. Brightside (Lu Cont remix) - The Killers
Everyday - Buddy Holly
The Story - Brandi Carlisle
1812 Overature - Tchaikovsky (a Boston Pops version)
Ode to Joy - Beethoven
Born Slippy - Underworld


I have about 3,000 downloaded songs, I could go on for hours.

Not so much for getting going in the morning but I tend to listen to New Age or celtic/Irish music...it just seems to blend with the world around me a little more than country, rock or anything else. Instrumental-type stuff from soundtracks are a good listen too, especially Two Steps From Hell (no, not a metal or rock band)

Great big sea - excursion around the bay

Dogwood---Cash's Highwayman is one of my faves. All about reincarnation which is a fave subject of mine. Traveling Wilbury's of course, esp like Tweeter and the Monkey Man. All of Canned Heat of course. Iz's Rainbow is a perennial favorite.

So, what Enya tracks do you listen to in the morn?

Orinoco Flow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTrk...8HMtNN90EbMIbH

River is nice somewhere in the mix before ramping it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziKwCU7FJYU

I like Storms in Africa in the rain but that's another thread.

[Dogwood]

Tipi, is mama coming home about mama being Nature or is it played at the end of your trips with mama being the wife/GF?, etc

[Dogwood]

As much as I like Blind Faith's Can't Find My Way Home this acoustical guitar Winwood solo version speaks just as clearly if not more so. Masterful.

When struggling in the morning possibly faced with an immediate ascent I just added this by TNF

I kind of overdid Orinoco Flow when it first came out and I was into sailing, I've relegated it to the once every decade category for the nostalgia. Same thing with a lot of old favorites including a lot of the songs people have listed above.

[rocketsocks]

Much as I like tunes, I reserve them for a little later in the day after the cob webs clear.

C'mon, you're Rocketsocks not snot rocket socks. What tunes get you going? Wake up Little Susie, Wake Up.
