I'm currently compiling a list of sounds that make me think of travelling, as I'm planning on taking a lot more trips in the future and I'm terrible at sleeping on planes, so I'm going to need something to listen to.
Here's what is on my list so far:

So, my question is this: What songs make you feel like or think of travelling?

-edits to youtube codes to video codes so that they work-
Do they just sit at 0:00 and come up with an error message in the original posts for anyone else?

I'll second The Suburbs by Arcade Fire, such a good song.
Beach House - Norway (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciHpW0rlKcM)
Clutch - The Regulator (or just about anything by Clutch)
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ziH7PfCmOY)Grizzly Bear - Yet Again (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bteY_fs3Y18)
Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bteY_fs3Y18)
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPXDJQkuWeA)The National - Conversation 16 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEE0OGJUE-4)
None of these songs are particularly travel-related songs, I just associate them with travelling for one reason or another. For some it's the way the percussion has the same clikkity-clak rhythm of a train or car, for others it's that I was travelling when I first heard and/or connected with them.
Except Clutch. That's just travelling music through and through.

The YouTube error thing seems to have to do w/ something on their end. I've been getting the error message w/ the static background @ least once a day for the past week or so. All that's needed is to reload the page.

I've never had them load for me when the youtube tag is used. :-/

The above videos used the full url, not just that part - that's why I changed them to video tags in my quote so they were viewable. :)
On the road again? I'm not even sure if that's the name of it.
There aren't a lot of songs that make me think of traveling since traveling is seldom on my mind, so that was the only song that stuck out.
This was a pretty big song while I was in the US and was super popular with my pals so it kind of represents the biggest journey I've ever taken.
