April is rapidly coming to a close, and while I’ve made strides, I’m likely not doing nearly enough ahead of time. So…despite it being a gorgeous day here in New Haven, I’m hankering down and as God as my witness, I’m going to finalize our CD-favor playlist and subsequently finish creating our CD cover.
We’ve had something in mind for well over a year–we knew that our focus would be “what would be fun to listen to in the car?” instead of just rehashing songs that were played at the wedding. So if I hear something I love (which, admittedly, happens quite often) and it could be a good fit, I’ve been adding to my “october road trip” playlist. It’s far from complete, but here are the songs that we’ve thought of so far:
I apologize for the lousy quality–my computer is being difficult.
There are a few songs on this list that are non-negotiables for various reasons:
-
“Masterfade” by Andrew Bird–our wedding song!
-
“In the Aeroplane Over the Sea”–the runner up for our wedding song, but it just didn’t feel wedding-y enough to me. Also, there are some who are expecting this and it’ll be fun to surprise them.
-
“Ceremony” by New Order–because I just love this song. And it’s fun to drive to.
-
“Each Day Gets Better” by John Legend–because it’s peppy and has an amazing old-school Motown feel to it.
-
“Inside and Out” by Feist–because this is one of Michael’s favorite covers (it’s crazy-sexy) and because we’ll be playing the BeeGees version at the reception.
The others can be excluded at whim. So this I pose to you, dear readers: what are YOUR favorite road trip songs? What never fails to put a smile on your face?
