Musical references to orienteering

[King Penguin]

'We may lose and we may win though
we will never be here again'

a competitive edge from The Eagles Take it Easy.

... takes me to the writer, appropriate for the end of a long event - "running on empty" (Jackson Browne)

[DaveK]

Joni Mitchell - Big Yellow Taxi -

They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And they put up a parking lot

[Gross]

Al Stewart weaves more commercial ideas into his songs Running Man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qreupY4ld8g and Zero She Flies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uvu9f_DKfs but the ideas of running, time, wild landscapes and natural phenomena suggest a strong underlying theme of the compelling appeal of the classic orienteering course. No doubt in Scotland.
