Music Monday — What are you listening to? (Long Trip Edition)

cover image source: Hollywood Suite

This time around, I'd like to know what music you all listen to when you have a long journey ahead of you. Whether you're cruising down the highway in your car, flying through the clouds in an airplane, or coasting along the tracks on a train ride, I'm curious to know what y'all like to listen to when going on a long trip. 🛩🚆🚗

Super chill, Dendi!

I really like this and can imagine it makes for a good soundtrack whilst driving... the music video makes it super easy to imagine, haha.

I'm def gonna tune into more of Sun Rai... just read a little wiki and I'm interested.

By the way, I found a nice live version of this song too:

honestly, this is the only song I know from Sun Rai . Hopefuly I'll find another song from him as chill as this.

I know that the MV is very persuasive to make it to the topic 😄maybe I will add more song that has similar illustration.

It's super chill... Sun Rai is def worth more explanation.

And haha! Love the approach and really digging the songs you've added. Scar Tissue is one of my faves, and I'm tuning into the PREP song right now — it's awesome!

One song that instantly comes to mind is "Hallogallo" by NEU! I really love driving to instrumental music especially in scenic landscapes... "Hallogallo" has always been a go-to of mine when driving my car through beautiful, unfamiliar territory. I have a very vivid memory of driving around Zion National Park and listening to this tune in the early morning as the sun was climbing up over the red, orange mountains... it made an already beautiful scene even more epic. Driving through the mountains and good music are one helluva combination!
