Songs on repeat* so far as I’ve been hiking**

March 31, 2025

“White Wedding” - Billy Idol

“Livin’ on a Prayer” - Bon Jovi

“Things Can Only Get Better” - Howard Jones

“The Promise” - When in Rome

“(Everythin’s Up to Date in) Kansas City” from the musical Oklahoma!

“Where is My Mind?” - Pixies

*in my head, and occasionally, regrettably, sung out loud

**exactly none of these appear on any playlist I’ve made for this hike, and I don’t know all the lyrics to any of them. Imagine bursts of accuracy interspersed with panting from the effort and occasional commentary such as “watch out for that root” or “I think that’s a bird over there” sung to the tune of the melodies.
