So I've traveled a few thousand kilometers so far. When I get home in a few day's I think I'll be over 9000. That's a lot of road to travel! And one of the things that has kept me entertained is my iPod.
Anyone who know me, knows that I have just about every kinds of music on my iPod. Heavy Metal, rock n' roll, indy, screemo, hip hop, dupstep, house, etc. The only genre not represented is country, but in my mind “country music” is an oxymoron. I apologize if I offended anyone but this is my blog and my iPod. So you can have have whatever opinion you like about my musical tastes as long as it's my opinion! Hehe! :D
So in that spirit, here the list of some of the favorite tunes that have got me down the long stretches of highway where you swear you are going in circles cause all the trees look the same … in no particular order. If you click the links it'll take you to the iTunes or YouTube.
The title sums it up. As much as I've enjoyed the solo journey to the top of the world. Adventureing is best done with a friend.
Here's some Ken trivia: when ever I do a long run, or run a race (ie. 10km or half marathon) I always listen to this when I start. But it has to be from the Live album. At the beginning of the song on the live album you hear the crowd cheering, it totally pumps me up!
The previous two songs are great ones to crank and sing out at the top of your lungs! And because it's only me, there's no one to criticize my singing! hehe
The Handsome Furs are a Canadian husband and wife duo from Montreal. The Handsome Furs are good for every occasion. They're kinda like grilled cheese sandwiches. If you don't know what to have to eat, a grilled cheese sandwich is always the right option. I feel the same way about this band. If I don't know what to listen to The Handsome Furs are always the right option.
When I'm feeling sentimental. Yellow Brick Road by Raine Maida is also another good sentimental song. In case you didn't know Raine Maida is best known as the lead singer of Our Lady Peace. He's also Canadian.
I found a re-mix by dubstep artist Datsik. It's kinda neat. I love the original of the song. It's a good one, when I'm feeling mellow.
For some reason I really like Jay-Z. He's the guilty pleasure that I have on my iPod ... and before you judge me, I know all you have a guilty iPod pleasure. I really like the idea of this song about living in the moment, taking it all in. Not feeling the need to grow up. I like the lyric "Life is for living, not living uptight"
I think this is one of my all time favorite songs. It's best played in the morning.
I would re-write the chorus so it sang, “in my mini-van!”
12. Uprising by Muse
Cause I like to stick it to the “man”
15. Alive by P.O.D
This song is what I'm feeling right now. The has been an amazing trip! Ya, I've been lonely, and the road has been long, but I've seen some of the most amazing things in the world. Literally! I've climbed a mountain and swam in the Arctic Ocean. I've met some amazing people, like Irene Kendo, and I've been immersed in some great history. If I could go back in time I would make the same decision to go on this trip all over again!
And probably the most iconic one to finish off the list … On the Road Again by Willy Nelson. I play this song every morning when I start out, it just fits. I know I said I didn't like country but for this song I'll make an exception.
~ Until Next Time
