Somewhere Over the Rainbow

August 5, 2024 mountain bike workout through Red rock Canyon Open space on the Lion Trail, then down through White Acres to Goldcamp road and down Bear Creek road and 26th street.
The song is "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg, recorded live at Jives Coffee in 2011.
Harburg claimed his inspiration was "a ballad for a little girl who... was in trouble and... wanted to get away from... Kansas. A dry, arid, colorless place. She had never seen anything colorful in her life except the rainbow". Arlen decided the idea needed "a melody with a long broad line".
About the music, Harold Arlen said: "I said to Mrs. Arlen... 'let's go to Grauman's Chinese ... You drive the car, I don't feel too well right now.' I wasn't thinking of work. I wasn't consciously thinking of work, I just wanted to relax. And as we drove by Schwab's Drug Store on Sunset I said, 'Pull over, please.' ... And we stopped and I really don't know why-bless the muses-and I took out my little bit of manuscript and put down what you know now as 'Over the Rainbow.'"
