Today’s #ThursdayFiveList is #TheMarch, songs concerned with walking or marching.
Coincidentally today is the day I've started walking the 87 mile #Ridegeway reputedly 'Britain's oldest road'. So, forgive the self indulgence, but here are 5 songs related to the #TheRidgeway
Big Big Train - Along The Ridgeway
https://youtu.be/4VK1S7UToNs
Julian Cope - By The Light Of The Silbury Moon
https://youtu.be/8cF_CymsVpE
Silbury Hill is not not technically on the Ridgeway, but it's very close, & was on my (& most people's, I suspect) route to the start point of Overton Hill.
XTC - Chalkhills & Children
https://youtu.be/OYU4CE2WQmA
The chalk hills of the Ridgeway & the Marlborough downs symbolise what keeps XTC's Andy Partridge grounded, & are the antithesis of rock'n'roll success, & excess.
Julian Cope - Wayland's Smithy Has Wings
https://youtu.be/yAQisfaOBxc
Wayland's Smithy is a long barrow on the Ridgeway dating from 3700 BC, & much beloved by Neolithic nut JC.
