Day 21:A song for driving home from work

I like mellow when I’m coming home from work. Maybe some dreampop, like Beachhouse or Broken Bella…

But I have a vivid memory of this one from earlier this year…

The War On Drugs - An Ocean Between The Waves


Suicide Road

I drove home
On suicide road

I shoulda known better

But I proved I could do it
Over and over

The night was approaching
A February orange sunset
Off to my left
Striated clouds
Slate gray
Between orange and the blue of night

Intersecting with the dying color
Of farm field after farm field

An Ocean Between The Waves by
The War on Drugs was playing on my playlist
Gentle on my ears
And tranquil on my soul

A perfect soundtrack

I’d beaten it again
 
Day 21: Driving Home

This is definitely not the freedom he's talking about, but if Paul can cash in on tragedy with this ridiculously cheesey "anthem", I can take liberties with the meaning. Plus it's from Driving Rain. It's meant to be.

Freedom - Paul McCartney
 
Day 21: A song for driving home from work
In my mind, this song inspires me homeward; these lyrics are how I get home..

"...go ahead and wake up,
its a brand new day
Angel's wings gonna carry you away
Angels wings are going to carry me away
Angels wings are going to
carry us away"
