My Travel Memories Songs
I love to go a wandering
Along the mountain track
And as I go, I love to sing
My backpack on my back.
val di ree, val di rah, val di ree
val di ra ha ha ha ha ha
val di ree val di rah
My backpack on my back.
I sang that song as a child as I wandered through life and where ever my family’s travels took us. I still often travel with a knapsack on my back as my carry on!
As I travel around the world or around town and see people with back packs on, this song will instantly come to my mind. Do you have musical scores playing in your head as you travel about in your everyday life or on a great adventure?
I do all the time & from many different genre’s of music, like the song ‘Sunrise, Sunset’. I tend to hum that melody while watching a beautiful day come to a close with a spectacular sunset on the horizon.
‘Raindrops keep falling on my head’ can be heard from me or ‘Singing in the rain’ on days of cloudy grey & rain. My life is made up of music and the memories it evokes. I am often reminded of a special journey I’ve taken when songs come on the radio or play on my iPod. I can close my eyes, listen to the song and it transports me back to so many special places that I have tucked away in my memories but are forever linked to me by a song.
What songs hold travel memories for you?
Nice song!
