I drove all the way to alaska listing to mainly the Old 97s, its what some people call "death country" lol but I just thought it was fast and up beat and the singing was great. Two favrotes were "four leaf clover" (that one with Xene from X... X was another band I was listening to a lot at the time)
I also love the Ben Nichols song "last pale light in the west" really sorta sums up feeling bad and moving on without much direction...
In my hands, I hold the ashes
In my veins, black pitch drums
In my chest, if I can catch this
In my way, the setting sun
Dark clouds gather 'round me
Due northwest, the soul is bound
And I will go on ahead, free
There's a light yet to be found
The last pale light in the west
The last pale light in the west
And I ask for no redemption
In this cold and barron place
Still I see the faint reflection
And so by it, I got my way
The last pale light in the west
The last pale light in the west
Probably the best retired vandweller song though I think would be fastball's "the way"
They made up their minds
And they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going Without ever knowing the way?
They drank up the wine
And they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down They started walking
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?
CHORUS:
Anyone could see The road that they walk on is paved in gold
And It's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll Never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows Wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today , today
The children woke up
And they couldn't find 'em
They Left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off
And left it all behind 'em
But Where were they going Without ever knowing the way?
Anyone could see The road that they walk on is paved in gold
And It's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll Never get hungry
They'll never get old and gray
You can see their shadows Wandering off somewhere
They Won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happy there today , today (repeat)
Any other great traveling songs or lyrics you think suit vandwelling?
