Trip Tunes:
Still Corners - The Trip
"Driving In An Indie Coming-of-Age Movie Where You Discover Yourselves While On A Road Trip"
The (Hypothetical) Prophets - On the Edge of the White Zone
"Waiting all antsy for a train at the Manhattan airport and getting yelled at by the PA for standing too close to the edge, then getting closer to your destination and receiving helpful tips from an intercom about how not to get ripped off by predatory cabbies. So I guess technically it's airplane (implied)/train/taxi travel all in one song."
Clipping - Run for Your Life
"Running, but not by choice, constantly looking over your shoulder in the middle of the night."
Devin the Dude - Acoustic Levitation
"Walking, trying to gain peace of mind."
Truckfighters - Desert Cruiser
"Driving through the desert."
Kyuss - Gardenia
"Speeding down an empty desert road, head spinning in a haze of sex and weed."
Neutral Milk Hotel - Holland, 1945
"The Frank Family Travels Into The Unknown To Try and Save Themselves From The Nazis"
The Animals - We Gotta Get Outta This Place
"When you're driving around your hometown while unemployed and directionless."
Guster - Satellite
"Taking the long trip to Mars to reconnect with a distant love, who has spent some terribly long, lonely months working on the colony."
Goldfrapp - Happiness
"Biking through town in the spring time."
Sufjan Stevens - Chicago
"That feeling when you're on a train and you come out of a tunnel and you look out the window and it feels like you're seeing a new world."
Barns Courtney - You and I
"The feeling of going to any length, travelling as far as it'll take to be with someone."
Dotan - Home
"This is travelling via means of walking back to the place you belong, feeling bittersweet for reasons you can't quite fathom, happy to be returning and yet wistful for where you just came from all the same."

"Flying to see your S/O and fixating on the trip back away from them instead of the time together in between."
Natalia Kills - Wonderland
