1. For the plane ride: Florence + the Machine, “Cosmic Love”
The perfect soundtrack for your airplane ride, as you ascend into the clouds and the heavens above. Of course, the song is a little dark, especially if you’re listening to it during airplane turbulence. But, a good addition, nonetheless.
2. For the road trip: Twenty One Pilots, “Tear In My Heart”
“You fell asleep in my car, I drove the whole time/But that’s okay I’ll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine/I’m driving here, I sit/Cursing the government/For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement.”
Accurate. So accurate.
3. For the small town explorer: Oasis, “Wonderwall”
With guitar riffs as lush as the hills of the countryside, “Wonderwall” embodies the curiosity of the traveler searching through the small towns and neighborhoods in Europe for answers.
4. For the city crawler: Carly Rae Jepsen, “Run Away With Me”
If your ideal destination includes neon lights and high-rise buildings, perhaps a city adventure is in the cards for you. The song radiates a sense of effervescence and energy that can only be associated with the hustle and bustle of a city.
5. For the airport layover: Halsey & Lido, “Tokyo Narita (Freestyle)”
Maybe it’s because of the plane noises in the background, hence why the song is named after an airport? Or, maybe it’s because the song provides its listener with a strong sense of calm and tranquility, even when you’re running late and need to sprint to your gate.
