AT Thru-songs

[Gwals003]

What are some songs that make you think back to the trail? Songs you use for slide shows of your photos from the trail? I have heard some great folk songs, but it would be nice to compile a longer list.

When I started to go insane during my thru hike, I began to sing on the trail. Luckily, no one ever heard me. Rocky Raccoon, You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, No Reply by The Beatles. Pancho and Lefty, City of New Orleans by Willie. A Man Needs a Maid, Needle and the Damage Done, Southern Man by Neil Young. And countless others that I can't remember now that I have regained a portion of my sanity.

I love all sorts of music on the trail - folk, rock, alt-country, americana and so forth but I latched onto this song my Mary Chapin Carpenter in 2010 and it has sort of become my trail anthem - - hope you'll have a listen:

These are the kind of songs I think about when I think of the AT (Performed by my favorite band in the world!)

I tend to set events and people I meet to music. Nothing like a week of:

"Teenage mutant ninja hikers! Legs like tree trunks, scuzzy as bikers."
Or:
"Taking a zero day, waiting for my buddy to come my way,
Taking a zero day, waiting for my buddy to come my way,
Left my phone in Bastian, I was hurryin' to catch a ride,
Got back on the trail, didn't have it and I could have died,
So I'm makin' this shelter my home,
Hopin' my buddy will bring me my phone,
Makin' this shelter my home, today......"

Sadly, I am most reminded of the trail by Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" because I got it in my head for an entire 22 mile day once. I really need to replace that memory...

[Mrs Baggins]

"Faith of the Heart" (sometimes known as the theme from the TV show "Star Trek: Enterprise") and "There and Back Again" from Lord of the Rings movie.

My 6 year old has no idea what this song is about but loves it regardless - - she wants to hear it in the car over and over again - - I'm really sick of Gaga.
