Sunlight fading out
Takes a long and worthy bow
Night’s curtain descends

I honestly only got out to do my walk/run tonight for one reason – I wanted to listen to Van Halen. I have plenty of chances to listen to them throughout the day since I stay home with son, but it isn’t the same as when you listen to it on a run. When your legs are pumping, and the music is in your ears you feel like you are on your own personal island. It’s just you, the run, the music, and the world at large. It really helps to clear the head.
The song above has been running through my brain all day. I didn’t much like it when I was younger, when it was popular, but I enjoy it a lot more as an adult.
This song above has always been one of my favorites by them. Guess I tend to lean more to the Sammy years because I grew up listening to them with him when I was a teenager. Okay, that’s it. Sorry for the long post. Just felt like writing a bit tonight after a half-way decent walk/run.
How about you? Van Halen fan or not? Sammy or Dave, which one?

One response to “Haiku – The “After Hours” Run”
When ‘A different kind of Truth’ came out in 2012, It got me excited about music again. (And you’re right about running with it; you become your own happy cantering island.)
I explored all the Roth/Van Halen albums with delight, but the Van Hagar stuff didn’t relate. Maybe I’ll give them another listen. Great post. Oh and If you like linking up this would be perfect for Singing Saturday Challenge
