The Camino Song

The Camino Song
Written by Suzi MacGregor
Sound and Video by Halfway House Music Sessions
Directed by Jeremy Best
Recorded in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica.
"They asked me where I'm going,
And I'm walking, I'm just walking
They asked me where I'm going,
As I walked around the bend.
The wind how it is blowing,
And I'm walking, I'm just walking
To follow without knowing
With the sun behind my back.
It's only me and my shadow
The sound of stones under my feet
My eyes searching for an arrow
Perhaps I'll stop at the next town.
I'm unravelling, travelling far
3 weeks and counting
I'm halfway there by now.
My body aches
My mind is tired
But I feel I'm not alone.
We are carrying our hearts home.
Listen to the church bells ringing,
And I'm walking, I'm still walking
Some days I feel like singing
And some days I want to cry.
These decisions that I'm making
All that talking, all that talking
These patterns that I'm breaking
In the walking they can mend.
It's only me and my shadow
The sound of stones under my feet
My eyes searching for an arrow
Perhaps I'll stop at the next town.
I'm unravelling, travelling far
3 weeks and counting
I'm halfway there by now.
My body aches
My mind is tired
But I feel I'm not alone.
We are carrying our hearts home
One the way to Santiago
We are carrying our hearts home
Walking day by day to Santiago."

This is the very best Camino song. I am walking the Frances again right now and for the second year running am introducing pilgrims to the Camino Song and everyone loves it and Suzi's lovely voice. Virtually everyone who hears the song really relates to the lyrics. Most people become quite emotional to the extent of tears. The lyrics seem to be simple but it is that simplicity that we all relate to. Thank you Suzi for giving us your song.

Suzi, your song is so deep and beautiful… I had the chance to walk the Camino Frances two years ago…. A lifetime experience… thank you for your inspiration!

Before I saw this was an original song, I assumed it was a classic tune that I just hadn’t heard. It sounds so timeless and important. It’s simply wonderful!!

So beautiful ❤️ I loved the song before I went down to go the Camino, then I heard it when I got home, and I was crying and remembering all the feelings and thought I had. I love this song. May I use your song in the Camino video I will make from my journey? I will write your name.

Ah, Thank you! I'm working on recording my debut EP/album and will post it on my channel once it's released.
