As a reference for Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7.51:
The Fixx were always one of my guilty pleasures. Popular enough to barely make it on the charts, unpopular enough to be derided as shallow pop. I could never admit to liking their music in front of my friends in public, even as many of them admitted to liking them in private.
Facing the wind. What a glorious phrase!
The Fixx, "Facing the Wind", from Phantoms (1984)

Just give me something to hold on
A piece of the world
That won't go wrong
Is there somebody there
I can talk to
Somebody sharing the same view
Facing the wind
One avenue that would lead to
A place on this earth
Where we all grew
Longing for travel we stood still
Watching a sky that was once blue
Facing the wind
Each line we throw gives us false hope
One ray of light, God I can't cope
Thinking about what we all are
One human race that's gone too far
Facing the wind
