Pass for Soul

A nine day trek to Thorung La
Prayer wheels are turning
I never went this far
"You need to train"
Ah I'll be grand
Off on foot in this foreign land

Oh the beauty
Oh the graft
Just path and legs
Bring supply to pass
Sherpa temple balls in the pocket
I'm up that mountain like a rocket

Namaste

Orange suit
They called me jeez
Long hair and beard
Some Irish breeze
Here never ends peace and love
We're at the top
Ah, heaven above

The pass 5416m
The thinnest air for smokey breathers
To north, Tibet
From here, no pain
Just Earth at its best
Awww, innocent sane

No pain
Namaste
No pain

Over the pass to Muktinath
Going down was harder
For the untrained twat
But never a sigh that lasted long
Just look around to recharge the one

The highest I've been
The highest I've felt
Most beautiful scene
Imprinted to self
I found myself above the clouds
I came home with more soul
Himalayan shrouds

Namaste
Above the clouds
Soul endowed
Above the clouds
Soul endowed
Namaste
No pain

Above the clouds
Soul endowed


In 2006, my head wasn't in a good place. I had just come out of a relationship and couldn't find my zen so I decided to leg it to Nepal on my tod to find it. This song is paying homage to the trek I went on around Annapurna. It took 16 days and we walked 15-20 km a day. The highest point you get to is 5416m and it's called the Thorung La pass. You aclimatise at 4800m for a day and then up over the most beautiful place I've ever been and seen. Although there is no rope climbing it's still not easy. In 2014, freak weather took 43 poor souls doing what I got to do safely so this is dedicated to them. Rest in peace 🤍🧬

I found out a lot about myself there man and I'm ever grateful for that! I was 9 years into life with a mobile phone so that disconnection from the world of signal and internet was extremely liberating and I'd highly recommend it.
If life allows, I'll be back there again before I die...

I discovered a strength I didn't know I had. That was largely fed by the strength I saw in the Nepali people that before seeing the way they lived I wouldn't have thought was possible. Elderly people carrying weights of food and supplies that I could barely lift up the mountain with ease. The people are quite removed from material attachment too and generally show a deeper affection because of that. This is something I took home and I think as best as I can try and live nowadays. I don't really do things I don't truly need anymore... I guess musical equipment is the exception although the majority of my gear I have for 20 plus years anyways

I feel very lucky to live in a part of the world that allowed me to to do that trip at all as I'm sure the majority of humans on the planet cannot just make that decision on a whim and leave home for a reset

🇳🇵Never End Peace And Love 🇳🇵

🙏🏾Namaste 🙏🏾

If you're bored...
Here's a 9 minute video of my trip which lasted in total 80 days. I rented a motorbike for most of it and there is the best swing and Bungie jump EVER from a 160 meter high bridge towards the end of the vid. Closest I've ever come to flying as on one of the jumps the rope was tied to my back. So epic and so lucky! Thanks Nepal ✌🏾
