I always feel a bit awkward when people ask me what kind of music I listen to. My answer is usually something like “pretty much all kinds,” and then they look at me like I’m lying. So, I thought I’d share something a little more personal—some of the songs I truly love. They all have one thing in common: they’re about travel or destinations. Have a read, give them a listen, and hopefully, you’ll enjoy the vibe.

Lady Hawke- Paris

There are tons of songs about Paris, but this one stands out to me. It’s a pop track with a funky, disco vibe that just makes you want to move. And, bonus points, Ladyhawke’s rocking a Snoopy t-shirt in the video—mega cute.

George Ezra – Budapest

I was in Budapest when my boyfriend sent me a link to this song. It was such a romantic moment, and I had never heard it before. Now, it’s one of my absolute favourites.

Mary Carpenter -What If We went to Italy

Mary Carpenter sings about escaping to Italy, and her voice is pure magic. To answer her question: Yes, Mary, if we go to Italy, it will absolutely be fabulous.

Rosanne Cash- A Feather’s Not A Bird

This is a country song, so if you’re not a fan of country, you might want to skip it. Rosanne Cash, daughter of the legendary Johnny Cash, sings about her travels to Florence, Memphis, and Arkansas. Just to clarify—it’s Florence, South Carolina, not the Italian one—she definitely wouldn’t be driving there!

Yelle-Florence en Italie

This is a synth-pop song with a vibe similar to Le Roux’s Bulletproof, but it’s much more upbeat and poppy. Sung in French by the band Yelle, the song captures the feeling of visiting Florence and being totally blissed out by the experience.

Bob Dylan-When I paint my masterpiece

The lyrics sound like a poem but Dylan sings off key on purpose. This might not be music to everyones ears but, it is to mine.

Alice Phoebe Lou – Berlin Blues

This song starts off said and picks up later. It’s about feeling blue in Berlin and still pushing on. And Alice Phoebe Lou is South African yay. Always loving great music frommy home country.

K.T Tunsall- Suddenly I see

A bit of a cop out this song isn’t specifically about travelling it’s more about seeing a powerful women as a rolemodel. But the lines “Her face is a map of the world” and “I feel like walking the world” “Like walking the world” that makes it somewhat travel related right?

Owl city- Dear Vienna

To me this sounds like a letter or love song. But hey Vienna is in Austria so this song can be interpreted as a song about a place or person.

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Around The World

Life is beautiful around the world I agree with the Red Hot Chili Peppers do you?

Johnny Cash – I’ve Been Everywhere
This was an Australian country song from 1959, which named Australian towns, it’s s been reworked for Singapore, Belgium, Canada and in this case the USA.

Hundred Miles – Yall ft. Gabriela Richardson

I listened to this song to give me a bit of hope when I was missing my boyfriend. You and I are more than the grey skies I needed that line in my life when it was constantly raining in Germany.

And that’s it for now. I will make another list like this as all the songs I wanted to add couldn’t be added to this one. It would have made it too long.

Thank you for reading and thank you for liking. And I love reading comments on my blog. It inspires me and it helps me to improve my content so please feel free to comment.
