Love that song, Damon, Chicago I think?
There are so many song titles, appropriate to audax and cycling once you start to think about them. A current fave of mine, Richard Hawley, has on his current cd:- As the Dawn Breaks, Soldier On, For your lover give some time (ie cancel a ride?...) and on his last one:-Tonight the streets are ours, Lady Solitude, Dark Road (Its a long dark road that I call my own, its a long dark road that I'm cursed to roam...), I'm looking for someone to find me (GPS battery run out?),Our Darkness, The sun refused to shine. Maybe he should take up audax?
For those epic rides:- Six Days on the Road (Asleep at the Wheel version) The Sun Rising (The Beloved). Bike, Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd) Dazed and Confused (Led Zep) Pretty Vacant (Sex Pistols) I Lost Control again (Joy Division- or should that be I've lost THE control again.. Out of Time (Chris Farlowe), Wake me up before you go go (Wham), Lost in France (Bonnie Tyler), Can't find my way home (Blind Faith), Go You're Own Way (Fleetwood Mac) We gotta get outta this place (The Animals), Take it to the limit (The Eagles), Knocking on Heaven's Door (Dylan), Feeling Single, Seein Double (George Jones) Slow Rider (Foghat), Why does it always rain on me? (Travis).Raining in my heart (Buddy Holly).I can see clearly now (Johnny Nash) I Can see for miles (The Who), Ain't no Mountain High Enough (Diana Ross..) Its a long way to the top (If you wanna rock n roll) (AC/DC). Into the Valley (The Skids). Long Distance Love (Little Feat) 24 hours from Tulsa (Gene Pitney). All Day and All of the Night (The Kinks) Rambling on My Mind (Robert Johnson) Dust my Broom (Elmore James - or should that have been pass the sudocreme?)
Chain Gang (Sam Cooke) Leader of the Pack (shangri-Las), Ride Like the Wind (Chris Cross) Don't Stop Til You Get Enough (late great Michael Jackson). Honking Down the Highway (Beach Boys) Gordon Lightfoot sang;-Early Morning Rain, Care-free highway, Rainyday People, Restless. Bob Dylan's 2nd LP was the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, but on his first he sang an old Blues called Fixin to die (so maybe he started out fixed wheel?) Of Course, Freewheelin' started out with Blowing in the Wind. If the storms get worse then Like a Hurricane (Neil Young) might be an appropriate soundtrack.
Finally, a few Beatles tunes are appropriate:-
The long and Winding Road
When I get home
Tomorrow Never Comes
You Wont See me (fast cyclist?)
Help!
I'm Down
Fool on the Hill
I'm so tired
I'ts all too much
I've got a feeling
Lucy in the sky with Diamonds ( for those PBP 'visionary moments in the rain?')
Good day Sunshine
