A Thanksgiving Playlist to Help Keep You Sane

“The Hiking Song”, Hope Sandoval and The Warm Inventions

“The Hiking Song” is from the new Hope Sandoval and The Warm Inventions album, Until The Hunter, which was released just a few weeks ago. While the lyrics may not make much sense to you, the music holds a sense of fall and togetherness with a beautiful acoustic guitar as the guide. It’s a little bit folk and a little bit indie, and Hope’s voice is both warm and cool. The song almost blooms. I imagine it playing in the evening, with a fire going.

"Why do you do the things you do Get up in the morning sun Put on your shoes that don’t fit Get into the car and drive in vain Why do you keep singin’ along After everything you feel is wrong Take a hike up in the hills It’s high up but what a thrill You keep comin’ around Why do you do the things you do Don’t you see your concern is all on the ground Let’s take a hike up in the hills It’s high up but what a thrill You keep comin’ around (You keep comin’ around) You keep comin’ around (You keep comin’ around) You keep comin’ around"
