Playist of the Week: Driving Songs for Rurul Roads



Midterm post. This needs to be extra special.

I'm going to leave you with a playlist. It sort of fits the mood I'm in tonight.

Actually, the story behind this playlist is a bit long-winded and goes back a year ago. I purchased a lot of these songs in 2008 and on my trips home (3 hours of rural roads), I'd just play my purchased songs playlist as the sun was setting.

It was pretty fantastic actually and one of my favorite memories. I'll keep this condensed for the sake of the blog. I had just started at SCAD and my family was moving. We had two houses at the time because no one had bought the first house.

The closer one (pictured below in winter - now sold) was the one I was visiting, since my family would also come in on the weekends to help move stuff out and work on some repairs. It was nearly empty most of the time, while we looked for someone to buy it. Anyways, I'd leave the city after class on Thursday, since it was only three hours away. Plus, it was some gorgoues road - so it was no problem. Even better, the house was completely empty in the middle of nowhere under some of the most amazing starry nights. It was amazing. I miss it.


I recognized that this is sort of sentimental and based on personal taste thing, but I think you will enjoy it.

Oh... the Mario picture. Postal Service's "Brand New Colony" was playing in my car one day and my mom looked over at me. She looked completely confused and asked, "Why are you listening to Mario music?"
