Roam

Published 3 December 2014

When it comes to music about hiking, well there’s Ewan Macoll with that rambler song. But good as it is, it’s not exactly rocking. Unlike this track, Roam, from the B-52s.

Okay, so it’s not exactly about hiking, but the lyrics share some of the reasons I like to strap the boots on and go wandering. Especially the bit about “dancing down those dirty and dusty trails”.

Well, okay, I don’t think I’ve ever danced down the Pennine Way. But when I head out to explore, to “take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness”, Roam’s always a song that’s lurking somewhere in my mind.

Have your say
