My fave songs (7) about Packing, Relocating, Moving On
Anyone can talk the talk, but when I say “International flexibility is the new stability” particularly when we are seeing the strengthening of the plandemic infrastructure in 2025 and 2026, then......
I had just redecorated my 2 offices when I realized that “it is time for me to fly”*, so here are some songs about moving on and relocating.
*”Time for me to fly” is a song by REO Speedwagon about moving on1
Anyone can talk the talk, but when I say that “International flexibility is the new stability” particularly when we are seeing the strengthening of the plandemic infrastructure in 2025 and 2026, then I have to apply that wise advice to myself as well.
Here, I add one more song to the list on this theme of moving, traveling, relocating, and saying goodbye.
Previous moving-related lists include:
Health Homework (30.2) Music for your Fuckit List which was an extension of Health Homework (30.1) Complement your Bucket List with a Fuckit List
Morrissey’s “Late Night, Maudlin Street” is about as sappy and sentimental as we could want on the topic of moving and leaving:
The last night on Maudlin Street—Goodbye house, goodbye stairs
I was born here—And I was raised here
"Goodbye, house, forever"I am moving house—A half-life disappears today
Your gran died and your mother died—On Maudlin Street
In pain and ashamed—With never time to say those special thingsI took the keys from Maudlin Street
Well, it's only bricks and mortar
I’ll provide 2 links to the song/video in case one of them evaporates:
For good measure, I will add “Free Nationals - Apartment (Audio) ft. Benny Sings” since it is about moving on and transitioning
“We grow from our commitments but we also suffer from them. … The goal of a fuckit list is to realize that maybe we’re dragging around an improperly-chosen emotional tombstone that we need to shrug off. ” DrV
"A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having." V for Vendetta
Here below are a few more songs to accompany yesterday’s Health Homework (30.1) Complement your Bucket List with a Fuckit List. These are in no particular order and might not even be “good” songs except that they are consistent with the theme of separating from situations that are no longer mutually beneficial. Most of these are in the rock-and-roll genre, and all of them are in English; as expected, most of them deal with romantic relationships but can also be applied to other separations from work, addiction, mental slavery, religion, etc.
“We grow from our commitments but we also suffer from them. … The goal of a FUCKIT LIST is to realize that maybe we’re dragging around an improperly-chosen emotional tombstone that we need to shrug off. … Maybe we don’t have to have a BUCKET LIST that includes driving a Ferrari or climbing Mount Everest in order to feel complete but rather realize—in our FUCKIT LIST—that our sense of incompleteness originated from a false sense of failure or shame from a wrongly-chosen goal or ideal that was never or is no longer correct for us.” DrV
If you have other or better songs to add to the list; please add them in the comments below—the idea isn’t to focus on interpersonal relationships as much as on the theme of leaving behind old habits, ideas, interactions, etc.
Somebody that I used to know—Gotye 2011
Accurate and tragic description of a relationship with a psychopath/narcissist/borderline disordered person.
“So when we found that we could not make sense, Well you said that we would still be friends, But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over.
Leave this city—The Sundays 1997
Feel this city inside you, feel this city define you, … leave this city behind you
Time for me to fly—REO Speedwagon 1978
I’ve got to set myself free
Fly By Night—Rush 1975
This feeling inside me says it's time I was gone. Clear head, new life ahead
It's time I was king now, not just one more pawn
Fly by night, away from here—Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye, my dear—My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
Illumination—Rollins Band 2000
Illumination comes so hard; Makes me see but leaves its scars
At times I wish that I didn't know what I know now
I’ve mentioned Henry Rollins a few times in other articles.
Reptile—The Church 1988
Go now, you've been set free; Another month or so, you'll be poisoning me With your lovely smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail, Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales, Like a real reptile
Movin on—Elliott Yamin 2007
Easy—Commodores 1977
