Let’s Drive | A mixtape for exploring and adventures
Recently I have been entertaining daydreams of driving off into the unknown, exploring the world, having adventures, and living in a tipi in the wilderness. Clearly, this is not a practical dream, so rather than gathering together my worldly possessions and disappearing into the wilds, I made a mixtape about it instead.
Drive On // Avalanche CityIn the car on the way to the city | In the morning it was foggy on the windscreen | We talked about the day ahead | And shouldn’t we just run away instead. 
I and Love and You // The Avett BrothersLoad the car and write the note. | Grab your bag and grab your coat. | Tell the ones who need to know. | We are headed north. 
Blue Ridge Mountains // Fleet FoxesLet’s drive to the country side, | Leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes. 
Travel Light // Laura Marling & Johnny FlynnI travel light and that’s the life for me. 
Badman//Newton FaulknerPlease just run away with me | Oh please just give me fields and trees | Oh please we can find all we need. 
Run // Vampire WeekendIt struck me that the two of us could run, | Worlds away from cars | And all the stars in bars 
(Let’s Go) Get Lost // Patrick WolfCome on and run | Come get lost with me | Slip away discreetly | You’re my love | Come away with me | Till we run on empty 
Old Pine // Ben HowardHot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags, | I’ve come to know that memories | Were the best things you ever had | The summer shone beat down on bony backs | So far from home where the ocean stood | Down dust and pine cone tracks.
