March 8, 2016
- “Can’t Kick Up the Roots” by Neck Deep: While a lot of people will be going on vacation, many are also stuck at home during the week long break. This song is for those people. With lyrics about being permanently stuck in your home town, it might just make you feel okay about not being able to be at the beach.
- “All Signs Point to Lauderdale” by A Day to Remember: For the same group of people as the previous song, but for those wishing they could be somewhere else. After listening to this song, you will undoubtedly hate your hometown and your friends for being somewhere nicer than where you are.
- ‘Anyway” by Moose Blood: There’s usually a feeling of nostalgia when it comes to vacations. Where you go may remind you of where you have been in the past. With its lyrics echoing to the past, this song is perfect for those open stretches of road where it seems like it is just the road and your thoughts.
- “Change Irreversible” by Turnover: One of the worst things is waking up too early during vacation. This song perfectly reflects that moment when you wake up at six in the morning and rub the exhaustion from your eyes before sitting idly looking out your window at the rising spring sun. The dream-pop and shoegaze guitar tones and the soothing melodies will calm your frustrations of not sleeping until noon.
- “Where There is Fire We Will Carry Gasoline” by Evergreen Terrace: It is typical to get cabin fever during the end of a long car ride home. To get your frustrations out, listen to this bruiser in order to retain your sanity, because as the song suggests, “we’re halfway home, we’re going home.”
- “Promises Kept” by After the Burial: For those who have a significant other back home while you are on vacation. Don’t worry about being lonely, this song will get you through those moments of longing. This song will make you feel like you are right there with them.
- “Ponder” by Knuckle Puck: This is a song for those who like traveling. Those scenic views of the mountains, the salty air of the ocean or the endless waves of trees, wherever you are this song will help build the atmosphere even more.
- “I’ve Been Bored” by Superheaven: You know that feeling when you are sitting in a hotel room, watching reruns of episodes of Seinfeld. This song is a good song to just let your anguish out and chill back and let the stress of travel flow right out of you. The sludgy guitar tones and monotone vocals will sooth you quickly.
- “Not as Bad” by Set Your Goals: The epitome of pop punk, this song will get you pumped to travel and to see new things. Upbeat, positive, it will make you want to hug a puppy and kick someone in the face at the same time.
