This year's easter holidays have a special taste. Not only because they are the first ones in a lot lot lot of months, but because they will sure be different of last year's holidays. First we are going to walk, make the last stages of the Road to Santiago, a way of pilgrimage to the city of Santiago in the north of spain.
It will be a walk of about 125Kms in five days. It's motly a religious pilgrimage, at least for most people, but as I am not a religious person I've taken it as a spiritual pilgrimage, the only hope is my mind wins over my big "matter" ;-) and I can finish it in one piece...
The other reason to be special holidays is that we are going to be a huge part of the family there. 11 of us, from my parents and brothers to my swedish cousins. Time to enjoy with the people one likes, time to share time, tired feet, muscular pain, stories, and, of course, music.
One song that comes to me talking and thinking about all this, as can't be other one, is Telegraph Road from my first and favourite band Dire Straits. Of course if talks about a road, talks about people moving on to build something, recalls a long walk were the important is the walk and not the arrival to the end point.
youtube's limit on video size had to make this, allways long song, split in two parts. Listen it to the end, and listen to it with your heart, and sure it will recall some memories.
"But beleive in my baby and I'll take you away,
from out of this darkness and into the day,
from this rivers of headlights, this rivers of rain
from the anger that lives on the streets with this names,
'couse I've run every red light on memory lane
I've seen desperation explode into flames
and I don't wanna see it again...
From all this signs saying 'sorry but we are closed'
all the way down the telegraph road"
Each one get it as he wants. I'll keep on every day during this long walk along the telegraph road, just be there and enjoy it.
