Songs that make you want to pack a bag and just GO...

Postby KnottyNikki » July 13th, 2009

My music is the soundtrack from Into the Wild by Eddie Vedder. Every time I hear a song from it I want to drop everything and leave right now. Especially the songs Society and Guaranteed.

Society lyrics:
Oh, it's a mystery to me
We have a greed with which we have agreed
And you think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all you won't be free

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

When you want more than you have
You think you need...
And when you think more than you want
Your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
Because when you have more than you think
You need more space

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

There's those thinking, more-or-less, less is more
But if less is more, how you keeping score?
Means for every point you make, your level drops
Kinda like you're starting from the top
You can't do that...

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

Society, have mercy on me
Hope you're not angry if I disagree...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

What are your songs? What lyrics inspire you to travel?

Every time I hear "Nara" by E.S. Postumus it makes me think of Erik Trinidad's 'Would You' and THAT makes me want to pack a bag and just GO :)

Hands down the soundtrack from Into The Wild. Eddie Vedder is amazing and this album is no exception, i'm chomping at the bit to get on a plane while listening to it.

Bob Dylan gets me ready to hit the road. There's something wonderful about his voice.

Like a Rolling Stone
Blowin' in the Wind
Forever Young
Shelter from the Storm
The Times they are a Changin
I Want You (perfect when you've got a crush on that Aussie/Canadian/European girl)

And "Beached" by Orbital from The Beach movie Sdtrck

eddie vedder definitely x)

i make a new playlist each time i go somewhere. listening to "bali '09" at the moment which gives me the feeling i'm still there hehe. "good bye stranger" by supertramp is one of the songs that make me wish i were anywhere but here.

Southern Cross by Crosby, Stills, and Nash is agood one to get me going. Also, Angel in the Morning b/c I used to hear that on the radio while sleeping in the car while my folks drove all night and then I'd wake up and see the Rocky Mtns and hear that song so I always associate it with travel.
