Four Songs for a Road Trip

VCR // The XX


A conversation between two lovers - on repeat in a carload of conversations down the Pacific Coast Highway.

Lovesong of the Buzzard // Iron & Wine

Big Sur offers a number of hikes, each culminating in a half mountain range / half Pacific view. The trail we chose was called Buzzard's Roost, on top of which we basked in the California sun, shouted Ginsberg to one another, and hummed this tune.

Slow Show // The National

No matter where you are, which coast you are looking out from, no matter how much you are laughing and how many moments you have with your traveling companions and the people you find along the way, there is always someone to hurry home to. Always someone to think about, as you're watching the waves crash on rocks, the windows down, the sun in your shades.

The Cave // Mumford & Sons


This trip has been encompassed by Mumford and his sons... we have each crawled out of our caves, opened ourselves to the vastness of the west, screaming this song into the wind.
