There’s a comfort that comes to you when you’re driving at night either on an unfamiliar road as you make your way back from a road trip, or driving around the city you were born in. The comfort comes looking out the window up at the moon and the twinkling stars, with the window down and the wind whisking through your hair. Basically, imagine you’re at the end of a movie, right before the credits start rolling and you’ve just figured out whatever problem the movie surrounded… that’s the feeling I’m talking about. The only things that make this feeling, this comfort better is when you have great music playing in the background. This is a list of a few of my favorite songs to listen to while driving at night.
1. The Sound -- The 1975
This is easily one of the best songs on this list, especially if you have somebody to scream out the lyrics and do odd dance moves in the passenger seat with you.
2. Pompeii -- Bastille
It's a must when you listen to this sound that first, you use the steering wheel as a drum. (In the safest way possible.) Second, you sing the song in a British accent.
3. Dog Days Are Over -- Florence + the Machine
This song will never not make me feel happy. This is the perfect song to sing dramatically or just stare up at the stars to.
4. It's Time -- Imagine Dragons
You know that song that just makes you emotional every time you hear it, but in a good way? That's this song to me.
5. Good Life -- OneRepublic
This song makes me want to throw clothes in a suitcase and go to cities I've never been to before, countries I've never seen, and become friends with people I don't even know yet.
6. Kids -- Mikkey Ekko
You know that song that plays at the end of a movie when a group of best friends all have their arms around each other and their walking somewhere and the camera begins to zoom out and then the credits slam up on the screen? This is that kind of song.
7. Sweet Disposition -- The Temper Trap
I'm not quite sure what it is about this song that makes it so wonderful. You just have to listen to it and you'll know why I can't explain in words how amazing this song is.
8. This Feelin' -- Vincent Steele
This song starts out slow, brings in a steady clap beat with the occasional "tssh-ahh" and "ohh," and eventually brings in the uplifting chorus that just brings my heart all kinds of joy.
9. Mind Over Matter -- Young the Giant
I could listen to this song on repeat for 25 years and it would never get old.
10. Wait -- M83
This one is definitely one of the slowest and not necessarily an "uplifting" songs on this list. But. it's the perfect song to have playing in the background as you fall asleep in the passenger seat.
11. Dangerous Times -- Wildlife
This song is perfect for imagining your steering wheel is a guitar and strumming along.
12. Castle on the Hill -- Ed Sheeran
\
Ed Sheeran's newest single is a must on this list. This song feels like home, happiness, and growing up all wrapped into one. It's bound to bring you feelings of nostalgia.
