Out on the trail – part of the landscape
\nSensible shoes and good company The swish, swish of our bodies in motion
\nI’m lost for words, lost in reverie.
\n
\nWe’ve got all we need to make a memory
\nBack to basics, minimum fuss
\nWe know where we are
\nand kind of where we’re going
\nThe rest is up to us (x2)
\n<\/strong>
\nI do admit that nothing much happens
\nAnd I forget what we talked about
\nWe cook, eat, sleep and get on with living
\nI’m walking on air, I’m on walkabout.<\/p>\n

Chorus
\n<\/strong>
\nReading the map we can see the future
\nMaking our way one step at a time
\nI’m rich, richer than I ever imagined
\nAll I survey, in a way, is mine.<\/p>\n

Chorus
\n<\/strong>
\nWe’re part of the elements – the cold, the heat
\nI’m thankful for every sensation – even sore feet.<\/p>\n

Backstory<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m a member of songu.com, and one day I came across this pitch opportunity for\u00a0songs that\u00a0would appeal to outdoor types.<\/p>\n

I’m not an outdoor\u00a0type myself. If I was going to write a convincing song, I needed to do some research and interview someone who’s really passionate about the outdoors.\u00a0This song is based on a ten-minute conversation with one of my fellow commuters one\u00a0morning on the train between Utrecht and Houten.<\/p>\n

I submitted the song for the project, and it was accepted. Unfortunately the project died. But the song is still doing good service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
