Travelin' Tunes

So, very soon I'll be leaving my home in Romania and taking the long trip to my real home. This is my going home mix. Some of the songs are here for obvious reasons. Some are hilarious. Some seem unrelated, but mean a lot to me. Some are cliche. Get over it.

1. Rosie Thomas//One More Day- as if I could make a mix without Rosie.
2. Beatles//In My Life- Because no matter where I go in the world, Romania will always be special.
3. Simon and Garfunkel// Homeward Bound- i.love.this.song. (and i love S&G)
4. Jake Armerding//Peace of Mind- this is a love song using all streets in Boston as lyrics. clever.
5. Matt Pond PA//New Hampshire- duh.
6. JT//Sweet Baby James- i have listened to this song everytime i have driven on the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
7. Joni Mitchell//Chelsea Morning- everytime I drive into Boston i take a wrong turn and end up in Chelsea. oh yeah, and i love joni too.
8. Standells/Dity Water- oh. boston, you're my home.
9. Big D and the Kid's Table// New England- skatastic. seriously, google it.
10. Augustana//Boston- yep. cliche. i'm ok with that.
11. Michael Buble//I wanna go home- special because a dear friend sent it
12. Dar Williams//Closer to Me- another personal one.
13. Patty Griffin//Long Ride Home- i'm aware this is about a funeral, but i'll be thinking about a lot on that loooong ride home
14. Indigo Girls//Homeward Bound- yeah, it's on here twice. i couldn't decide between S&G and this brilliant cover
15. Wailin Jennys// Beautiful Dawn- another song very close to my heart at this time, for a lot of reasons...I feel like every line pertains to this trip in a different way

"take me where the ocean meets the sky and the land"...here i come.
