I packed my things and ran
A mix for inspiration for running away, be it on a road trip or leaving home...
I made this a couple years ago as inspiration for something I was writing.
Of Monsters and Men - Mountain Sound
I heard them calling in the distance
So I packed my things and ran
Far away from all the trouble
I had caused with my two hands
Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Altas Hands
I've got a plan, I've got an atlas in my hands
I'm gonna turn when I listen to the lessons I've learned
Paramore - Misguided Ghosts
I am going away for a while
But I'll be back, don't try and follow me
Cause I'll return as soon as possible
See I'm trying to find my place
But it might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistakes
The Avett Brothers - Kick Drum Heart
We're walkin' in to the fields.
We're walkin in to the forest.
The moon is before us.
Up above
Florence and the Machine - Between two lungs
And my running feet could fly
Each breath screaming
We are all too young to die
Bombay Bicycle Club - Already Know
said love was painted gold
like all things growing old
the paint peels and slowly falls
you already know
Terra Naomi - Flesh for bones
And I’m burning all my bridges With these matches I light
To illuminate my path to what is right
And even if it’s true what they say
That you can’t go back home Once you’ve cast it away
I would still have left tonight
Sea Wolf - You're a wolf
I'm runnin', I'm a northeast stream
Get to the ocean ‘fore I run too low
Get to the ocean ‘fore I run too low
“The one that you are looking for,
you're not gonna find her here”
Rosi Golan - I don't wanna wait
No one tells me where to go, No one tells me what to do today
Cause I don’t know where I begin, I don’t know where I’m gonna end today
And I feel just like a child, Thinking everything is mine, at the drop of a dine
Sea Wolf - Middle distance runner
Well my heart is beating hard
And I'm off with a shot at the start
And my legs tremble from strain
But by the finish line I am drained
Ed Sheeran - Autumn Leaves
Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?
Float down, Like autumn leaves
Hush now, Close your eyes before the sleep
And you're miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
Bon Iver - Towers
For the love, I'd fallen on
in the swampy August dawn
what a mischief you would bring young darling!
when the onus is not all your own
when you’re up for it before you’ve grown
Gomez - See the world
You seem like a soldier
Who's lost his composure
You're wounded and playing a waiting game
In no-man's land no-one's to blame
A fine frenzy - Winds of Wander
Vise hands, loosen up the reins
That tight grasp won’t save you any pain
Rock back and forwards with your breath
From this stone house, the home you’ve never left
Feist - A Commotion (sophia search or alessa to the hospital)
It flickered to light
It turned broke what was right
Got the roots by the hair
What was no longer there
Rosi Golan - Lullaby
Mountains could crumble and still I’d find you beneath the rubble and pull you away
I don’t know whats next a coming but I can tell you I’ll be by your side
Mumford & Sons - Hopeless Wanderer
I wrestled long with my youth
We tried so hard to live in the truth
But do not tell me all is fine
When I lose my head, I lose my spine
The Lumineers - Ho Hey
So show me family
All the blood that I would bleed
I don't know where I belong
I don't know where I went wrong
Page France - Spine
You were my beliefs all rusting over
And I was the support within your spine.
We noticed that the stars were all exploding
So we stared into the sky until we were blind
Feist - Undiscovered First
I had what I thought were clear open eyes, bright blue.
Vision of a lake, carryin' pictures to lay on you.
Close the blinds, let 'em in, don't mind openin' at the edge of love.
You can't un-think a thought, either it's there or not.
The Avett Brothers - Head full of doubt, road full of promise
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die
and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps (acoustic)
Wait, they don't love you like i love you
Wait, they don't love you like i love you
Maps, wait! They don't love you like i love you...
Stuart Murdoch - Another Saturday
Shut your eyes when you're angry
Bow your head when you get lonely
On another Saturday.
The Good Mad - Stepping Stone
Like a bird I used to fly
But the wind is a wild one
Lately I've built a wall and it's hard to trust at all
Sigurjon's Friends - Coming Home
Some say I’m a bit of a fool,
sitting on a hill and counting raindrops.
Keep thinking I just wanna go
to the peaceful place I know,
that I call home.
A fine frenzy - Riversong
How does it feel to be so certain without question
Of your purpose, Your position
Of your place, Of your home?
