So, after our little introduction there, we're going to carry on with a song that is, appropriately enough, about touring.
This song came out in 2009, when I was just really hitting my stride as a touring maniac.
It's a song about the journey, and this song is called The Journey of the Majo.
Moses was old, a tear in his bones, falling apart, he knew in his heart, his time had come.
As he'd lay in his tent, in the hot desert sands, he smiled at how he would never see his promised land.
He sang, I could have lived and died an Egyptian prince, I could have played safe, but in the end, the journeys brought joys that outweighed the pain.
Now Odysseus sat, tired and alone, he'd always held out against all the doubts that he would come home.
But now he was here, his soul felt estranged, his child and his dog, his wife and his gods, everything changed.
He sang, I could have stayed and ruled as an Ithacan prince, I could have played safe, but in the end, the journeys brought joys that outweighed the pain.
It's about the Zohar road, the seven long years.
He stood some far, he followed his star, and it brought him here, to a stable in ruins, in some backwater town.
To a virgin defiled, no king but a child, too small for a crown.
He sang, I could have lived with my gods as a Persian prince, I could have played safe, but in the end, the journeys brought joys that outweighed the pain.
So paupers and queens, princes and thieves, singers of songs, writers of wrongs, be what you believe.
Saddle your horse, shoulder your load, bust at the seams, be what you dream, and then take to the road.
