Life Is Golden
Second Half on the NST 2024
“You’re not alone, When the the world puts all the winter in you
You’re not alone, I’m there in the words that you use
You’re never alone
Your life is golden…Golden”
Life Is Golden – Suede
“70 meters before the finish line, I grabbed Spotify and played ‘Life is Golden’ by the Britpop band Suede, which had accompanied me throughout the entire NST. The second chorus kicked in, I lifted my head, and saw the monolith: Fuck, all the emotions came flooding in. I must have stood there for five minutes, crying, with my head resting on the border stone, feeling like I was in a movie—except none of it was acted.”
Actually, that says it all, dear Second Half: Congratulations on the first thru-hike of 2024! I think it’s safe to say that your witty and very well-written footprints have impressed us all. You mentioned that you did this hike for all the Trail Angels, for people with mental health issues, and for all the outsiders of society. WOW, that’s truly an admirable reason to accomplish such a feat. In the end, you pushed through on your own and faced all the adversities—something that few can achieve. So, dear Second Half, stay just the way you are, and never forget…
„no pain, no dirt, no Haldenwanger Eck„
