Imagine you’ve already packed your bags, you’ve filled the trunk of the car, you’ve already boarded the plane, you’ve already settled on the train and you’re ready to turn on the boombox, put on noise canceling headphones, those very expensive Christmas gifts you were given and you’re ready to enjoy the trip you’ve been preparing and saving for for so long… but, now… what are you listening to
It’s a similar feeling to sitting on the couch, with dinner ready, the kids asleep and now it’s up to you to choose a series. And when you have already chosen, everything has cooled down, you are dying of sleep. Well, so that you don’t have to suffer this experience, let me guide you in this choice of the best music for traveling. Take me by the hand, the journey begins.
Serrated – Today can be a big day
This situation in which you are traveling alone and you don’t know what to choose because something very alive can make you lose concentration if you are driving or traveling by train you can seem possessed and if there is an exorcist at proximity, they can shout at you “Come out of this body, for the power of Joshua, I command you” or, on the contrary, new age type music can give you narcolepsy and that with a steering wheel in your hands is generally dangerous . You have to find the middle ground.
Roxetta- sleep in my car
In addition, the choice of the language of the songs that you are going to use for the trip is important, because there is also the choice: to sing songs that you know by heart in your language or to put songs in foreign languages that you mumble and invent half of the lyrics, what is commonly called singing in guachu guey.
This choice of songs for a trip is something that requires your preparation. There are many variations that you need to consider as a DJ. Because until now the decisions were made by yourself, but what if you go with more people in the car? In this situation you have to opt for consensus, swallow your pure pride and take the middle way: the musical populism that wakes up those who are in the minibus.
Camel – indomitable heart
Then there is this moment when the musical challenge is essential, this moment when we solicit our musical and vocal capacities to the maximum by trying to imitate an artist who sings. We subconsciously challenged ourselves by putting these kind of songs on our car radio cassette induced by a higher entity and we don’t do it with an ordinary artist, no. This never. If you must duel, you must fight the greatest. There are no half measures here.
If you are traveling in a company, there is always a critical moment in the journey when your co-pilot wants to take over your music player and come up with something new that he has heard, that has fascinated him and that he is quite sure you do I don’t know why, you have no fucking idea. He presents himself as the ultimate DJ who despises everyone spinning for thousands in any club in Ibiza and unleashes his grand discovery that sometimes it’s a nuke and other times it’s a bomb. Let’s run the data and see what happens.
Any musical choice for a trip must include at least one session of indisputable classics, those which, whatever the diversity of the clientele, the small restricted audience you have, have no choice but your melodic suggestion. Because the definition of a classic is that of a great song that does not get old, that at any time or situation shines with its own light and illuminates us.
Then there is the question of the destination of this trip. So far we’ve enjoyed the ride, but keep an eye out for the horizon. Something that will give us clues as to what we can click on. It’s not the same whether our destination is the most heavenly city or beach in the universe, because the destination songs won’t be the same as if your journey was headed for the peak, mountain or island. Himalayas.
Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell- There’s no mountain high enough
Dance, this imperative need of every human being to move to the rhythm of the drums. To express ourselves with the anatomy that God, the genome and the torreznos have given us. To raise our arms to the sky, let go of our long hair and let the rhythm take us away, losing our shame. Get drunk on the melody. It is recommended in these cases that the driver limit himself to tapping only on the steering wheel while following the rhythm. No more.
The Blue House – no one could ever fly
Let me recommend to you, as DJs older than the gramophone, that when we reach our destination, we have one last song. A cherry. A song that leaves us with a sweet and spicy taste in the mouth, perfect for enjoying the destination we have been looking for on our trip. For that, we need a unicorn: a perfect song.
And you, can you think of more songs to listen to on one of the trips you will take during the Easter holidays!
