Hi everybody,
What kind of music do you usually listen to when you are doing a trip, or stuck in a traffic jam, or simply going out in the night and you just need to get relaxed all the way?
These are some examples of songs I usually listen to while driving and think are very appropriated for such purpose:
BRYAN FERRY - Kiss and Tell
BRYAN FERRY â Slave to Love
BRYAN FERRY - Don't stop the Dance
BLUE NILE â Headlights on the Parade
BLUE NILE â The Downtown Lights
RICHARD HAWLEY - Tonight the Streets Are Ours
RICHARD HAWLEY - The Ocean
RICHARD HAWLEY - Something Is...
CHRIS REA - Looking for the Summer
CHRIS REA - Driving Home for Christmas

I don't tend to listen much when driving, but I'm pleased to see Blue Nile on your list...

CCR and driving go hand in hand perfectly like no other group...there's a definate sense of 'being free' on the road

It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

We have a Christian Radio Station that covers our area, so that is what I listen to a lot. Not only is the music cool, it is the only music that really relaxes me. Some of my favorite bands are: Chris Tomlin, Casting Crowns, Toby Mac, Matt Redmon
If I want something more exciting I'll listen to Smash Mouth's "I'm a Believer". etc.
