It's almost an unsaid ritual--to pack our ipod/mp3 player when we set out to travel. Music for most of us is an essential part of traveling. And why not? It's an universal language that connects us all-- no matter what our country, our background and our identity says. Music helps us to get in touch with the familiar, it takes away the anxiety of being out of our comfort zone, it is a great conversation starter and ensures the camaraderie of others. Here, I bring to you six popular songs that makes being on the road even more fun.
1) I've been everywhere--Johnny Cash: Unlike this country music guru I've not been everywhere but nevertheless Cash takes you through the dusty Winnemucca road through to Reno, Chicago, Fargo
Minnesota and Tulsa. He crosses rivers, deserts and breathes the mountain air. A song that perfectly embodies the spirit of travel.
2) Around the World--Red Hot Chilli Peppers: Who can argue when they croon that life is beautiful around the world? It definitely is, let's sit back and enjoy.
3) Yuhin Chala Chal Rahi--Swades: A song that puts an instant smile on my face. Ace music director A.R. Rehman lends his magic in this soulful, happy song. The message is simple: Keep moving dear traveler because this world is beautiful. Now, who can disagree to that one?
4) Sweet Surrender--John Denver: I can sweetly surrender to this one. John Denver urges you to live to the fullest, live in the moment and live without care. In this world of chaos and competition, the song is like a healing touch which can make the toughest road trip a cake walk.
5) Time of your life--Green Day: This song begs you to ponder about the unpredictability of life. No ones know when life can take a turn because life is one unplanned journey. Well said Green Day!
6) Don't Worry, be happy-- Bobby McFerrin: "When you worry, you make it double. Don't worry, be happy." Not just a song for the road but for life that I am gonna sing note for note. C'mon let's put a smile on our face.
Music is a language, a reminder, a catalyst and the ultimate travel partner. It makes your heart croon, discard the blues and adds excitement to the travel. Do you agree?
