The following is the "perfect playlist" for a long and otherwise unbearable car ride. It's supposed to make you feel both happy and sleepy (good for a long car ride, definitely.) Good thing there's music to make car rides more enjoyable!
1. "Keep Your Head Up" by Ben Howard
This song is definitely a road trip song. It's got a happy sort of feel with llively acoustic guitar in the background. Ben Howard has an amazing voice, and some awesome guitar skills- kind of sounds like you're at a campfire or something (...but in the car)
2. "Hello. I'm in Delaware" by City and Colour
The song kind of lulls you to sleep and makes you feel happy in the same way that the last one did. In addition to that, it also includes some driving- themed lyrics such as "I'll keep on driving these dark highway lines."
3. "After the Storm" by Mumford& Sons
This song is sort of mesmerizing, and is just calming. You could probably listen to it on repeat for hours in the car and not realize it. The vocals are brilliant (obviously singers always sound cooler with accents.)
4. "Firewood" by Regina Spektor
The gentle piano and the outstanding voice of Regina Spektor are awesome in this song. I could definitely fall asleep while listening to this song (and have many times.) "The piano is not firewood yet... but the cold does get cold, so it soon might be that." It is interesting to try and figure out the meaning of this song- there could be several interpretations.
5. "Already Home" by A Great Big World
This is one of the great songs on A Great Big World's most recent album, and is for some reason overpowered by "Say Something". It has the same feel as the rest of this playlist, and has some great lyrics like "When you're scared and alone, just know that I'm already home"
