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.<\/p>\n
Shut the gates at sunset But oh the road is long With the moonlight to guide you And the night that you got locked in If you close the door to your house But oh the road is long With the moonlight to guide you And the night that you got locked in Stop chasing shadows I was listening to Morcheeba’s Dive Deep obsessively the days before I left.

After that you can’t get out
You can see the bigger picture
Find out what it\u2019s 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<\/p>\n
The stones that you are walking on
Have gone<\/p>\n
Feel the joy of being alive
The day that you stop running
Is the day that you arrive<\/p>\n
Was the time to decide
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride<\/p>\n
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<\/p>\n
The stones that you are walking on
Have gone<\/p>\n
Feel the joy of being alive
The day that you stop running
Is the day that you arrive<\/p>\n
Was the time to decide
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride<\/p>\n
Just enjoy the ride<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
