My fave songs (6) about TRAVELING

We are citizens of the world – the Earth is our realm!” Frederick Nietzsche, age 15

“We are pilgrims in this world: we have our homeland everywhere and nowhere; the same sun shines over us all. We are citizens of the world – the Earth is our realm!” Frederick Nietzsche, age 15

I loathe also this great city, and not only this fool. Here and there—there is nothing to better, nothing to worsen. Woe to this great city!—And I would that I already saw the pillar of fire in which it will be consumed! For such pillars of fire must precede the great noontide. But this hath its time and its own fate.

This precept, however, give I unto thee, in parting, thou fool: Where one can no longer love, there should one—pass by! Thus spake Zarathustra, and passed by the fool and the great city.

1. “Voyage, Voyage!” by Desireless (1989)

Up above extinct volcanoes
Wings slipped under the carpet of the wind
Voyage, voyage
Eternally
From clouds in quagmires
Of wind from Spain, in rain from Ecuador
Voyage, voyage

2 and 3. “Leave this city ” and “Here’s where the story ends” by The Sundays (1990)

Feel the city inside you

Leave this city behind you

Drive wherever the roads will take you to…

FEEL THIS CITY DEFINE YOU, LEAVE THIS CITY BEHIND YOU.

4. “Traveling Again (Pt.1)” by Dar Williams

Have I got everything? Am I ready to go?
Is it gonna be wild, is it gonna be the best time?
Or am I just saying so?
Am I ready to go?
What do I hear when I say I hear the call of the road?
I think it started with driving

5. “Interstate Love Song (Official Lyric Video)” by Stone Temple Pilots

Waiting on a Sunday afternoon
For what I've read between the lines—Your lies
Feelin', like a hand in rusted shame

Leavin' on a southern train
Only yesterday you lied
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time go by
All of these things you've said to me

6. “Santa Monica ” by Everclear

With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't wanna be the bad guy
I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just wanna see some palm trees
I will try and shake away this disease

7. “Why Georgia” by John Mayer

I am driving up 85 in the
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
I'm just stuck inside the gloom
4 more exits to my apartment but
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
And leave it all behind
