Travel Tunes "California by Joni Mitchell"

Ahhh, a song about traveling the world, experiencing new and exciting things, but appreciating and somewhat longing for your home base, wherever that might be.

Still a lot of lands to see
But I wouldn't want to stay here
It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here
Oh but California
California I'm coming home

Travel Tunes: Soundtrack from Beasts of the Southern Wild

Although I haven't seen this movie yet, I already know the soundtrack is top notch.  This is one of my favourite songs, and I can't seem to listen to it without imagining some sort of beautifully shot travel montage happening.  I look forward to listening to this song on the train from Madrid to Malaga, while I look out the window and enjoy the Spanish country side.

Travel Tunes: "America by Simon and Garfunkle"

"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all gone to look for America 

Traveling to try and find something...

Travel Tunes: "Into the Wild by LP"

"Somebody left the gate open..."

For all those taking advantage of an open gate, and going into the wild, this travel song is for you.

Travel Tunes: "Whole, Wide, World" by Bahamas

I can't find a good version of this on YouTube, so click this link for a live version from Vimeo: Whole, Wide, World - Bahamas









When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
There's only one girl in the world for you
And she probably lives in Tahiti

I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her
