Me Gusta Viajar

This next track comes from the CD collection of our best buddy, Gergely Liptak during our long drive through the night to Malaga. It's a fan-made video, mind you. I personally don't approve. :P

We'd like to dedicate this song to none other than the HITCH itself: the roads we traversed, the sights we saw, the sounds we heard, the smells we sniffed (?), the beds we slept on, the food we ate, the long days without a proper shower, the breakfast bars, the lifts that never were, the music, the sunrises, the sunsets, the road signs, the rest stops, the petrol stations, the cars, the buses, the trains, the ferries (hehe, Wani), THE truck, and of course, the people.

Me gusta autostop, me gustas tu.

Can't You See What Love Has Done?

Sorries for hijacking the blog away from Wani's pics. (Scroll down! Scroll down!) There's more where that came from, by the way.

If there's one thing that was a constant companion throughout our hitch, it's gotta be the music. Between Wani's endless Disney tune serenading to keep our drivers awake and whatever happened to be on the radio in the lifts that we got on, there's enough memorable music to make a soundtrack of. And that's exactly what we hope to do.

Kidding. Of course it'll be free!

This particular song was playing in the vehicle of Emilie and Boris, on the way to Barcelona.



U2 - Window in the Skies

The shackles are undone
The bullet's quit the gun
The heat that's in the sun
Will keep us when there's none

The rule has been disproved
The stone, it has been moved
The grain is now a groove
All debts are removed

Oh, can't you see what love has done
Oh, can't you see what love has done
Oh, can't you see what love has done
What it's doing to me

Love makes strange enemies
Makes love where love may please
Soul in its striptease
Hate brought to its knees

The sky over our head
We can reach it from our bed
If you let me in your heart
And out of my head

Please don't ever let me out of here
I've got no shame

I know I hurt you and I made you cry
Did everything but murder you and I
But love left a window in the skies
And to love I raphsodize

To every broken heart
For every heart that cries
Love left a window in the skies
And to love I raphsodize

I hereby dedicate it to my two hitch partners, Wani & Lutfi.

Our love has indeed done a lot. Sorry for being the occasional bitch. Especially in situations where it would have been optimal to have less bitchiness. I wouldn't have done the hitch with anyone else in the world.

Enjoy the music, people!
