Hey everyone, I’m in the middle of moving across the Bay and we don’t have internet at the new place. So I’ve been mostly off the grid for a few days. But while I’m unpacking and such I’ve been creating a playlist of songs about moving. So: songs about new beginnings, songs about new places, songs about the future, etc.
Any recommendations?
And here’s my second bleg: I’m working on my list of the top 10 Bob Dylan songs but unlike the artists I’ve covered so far I feel a little bit less confident that I’ve fully explored the whole Dylan ouvre (all several thousand songs). I mostly know his stuff from the 60s up through Blood on the Tracks – and some of the stuff from the late 80s through the early aughts. So if you’ve got a favorite Dylan song (particularly if it doesn’t fall within those timeframes) let me know in the comments.
Three ideas:
1. Third Planet – Modest Mouse
2. Neighborhood #1 – Arcade Fire (or Ready to Start for a more obvious pick)
3. Don’t Haunt this Place – Rural Alberta Advantage (dark, but seems like a good christening song)
new places and beginnings and moving. Hope it goes well.
Starting a New Life – Van Morrison
Setting Sail/Muineira de Frexido – The Chieftains
Get Up ‘N’ Go – The Ditty Bops
Manifest Destiny – Guster
Orpheo Looks Back – Andrew Bird
Every Bruce Springsteen song!
