Driving songs: music to relax in traffic
#1
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 – Slave to Love

BRYAN FERRY - Don't stop the Dance

BLUE NILE – Headlights on the Parade

BLUE NILE – 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...

i listen to music in the car for enjoyment, not to relax as i dont get stressed in the car.
the ones im listening to now in the car are:

Emminem "recovery"
Paul Weller "wake up the nation"
Dropkick Murpheys "going out in style"
CCR "cosmo's factory"
Paul McCartney "memory almost full"
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..."  -  Me 2014.

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.

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.
