I was listening to Morcheeba's Dive Deep obsessively the days before I left. I just put it on while I took a nap. As I was falling asleep, I started thinking about soundtracks of our lives...how different songs represent who we are at a given time or where we're going. And then I starting hearing the lyrics to Enjoy the Ride crowd into my consciousness and realized I'd never even paid enough attention to actually hear lyrics, yet obviously, it must have been a means of support and encouragement in my head when I set out on this journey because this album was the album I chose to see me off. And yesterday, I had a conversation with someone exactly about this, about how I need to stop chasing shadows and just enjoy how my life unfolds in unpredictable but exciting ways.




Shut the gates at sunset
After that you can't get out
You can see the bigger picture
Find out what it’s all about
You're open to the skyline
You won't want to go back home
In a garden full of angels
You will never be alone

But oh the road is long
The stones that you are walking on
Have gone

With the moonlight to guide you
Feel the joy of being alive
The day that you stop running
Is the day that you arrive

And the night that you got locked in
Was the time to decide
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride

If you close the door to your house
Don't let anybody in
It's a room that's full of nothing
All that underneath your skin
Face against the window
You can't watch it fade to grey
And you'll never catch the fickle wind
If you choose to stay

But oh the road is long
The stones that you are walking on
Have gone

With the moonlight to guide you
Feel the joy of being alive
The day that you stop running
Is the day that you arrive

And the night that you got locked in
Was the time to decide
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride

Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride
