The song’s calm and soothing ambience makes it ideal for serene moments and slower-paced travel scenes. Its mellow vibe pairs well with peaceful and reflective visuals, creating a relaxed and meditative atmosphere such as a tranquil sunset or serene landscapes.

I find the song works best at 0.29 seconds into the track when the melody starts to kick in.

12. Past Lives – Sapientdream

A song with 113 million views and 50k comments on YouTube must tell you something. Not that it was a commercial success or made for pop culture but that it’s a song that resonates with many of us in a different way.

The song’s dreamy and relaxed vibe pairs well with contemplative visuals and reflective moments during travel. It’s perfect for capturing introspective scenes, such as gazing at scenic landscapes, self-reflection, or moments of calm amidst the journey.

It’s hard to believe that this debut single from pop superstar Billie Eilish was released in 2015. Eilish’s soothing voice and the song’s dreamy, enchanting melody would go perfectly with serene landscapes, reflective moments, and scenic beauty.

This song is an awesome choice for thrilling road trips or adrenaline-filled explorations. Using the verse and chorus separately can also alter the mood of your video depending on what you’re going for.

17. Now We Are Free – Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard

What is it about Hans Zimmer? Not only is he one of the best composers out there, but he always seems to be on the soundtracks of my favourite movies!

Here he’s teamed up with Lisa Gerrard to offer a powerful, emotive track from the movie Gladiator that can beautifully complement your Instagram reels. The song’s majestic orchestration and evocative tones create a grand sense of adventure, fitting for breathtaking landscape shots and awe-inspiring travel moments.

It’s an ideal piece for scenic views, cultural explorations, and life-changing travel experiences. If you want to post serene sunsets or monumental landmarks, this track is the one you’ve been looking for.

Those of us who remember the West Coast anthem ‘Still D.R.E.’ by Dr Dre will either love or hate this song that samples the track.

I personally really like ‘I Got Summer on My Mind’ and its upbeat and cheerful tune is a great choice for your travel content. This song is infectious energy with an obvious summer-filled vibe, ideal for showcasing joyful moments and vibrant experiences during travel.

Question – who isn’t happy when travelling? No one! That’s why ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams is such a great song for your travel stories. The song is a joyous and upbeat tune that adds an infectious energy to your content.

It’s a feel-good song from the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack that syncs seamlessly with visuals of adventure, friends’ gatherings, and discovering new places. The track’s positive vibes and catchy rhythm make it an excellent choice for celebratory and carefree moments.

Add a cheerful and uplifting tone to your content such as getting on a plane or arriving at an awesome city or location..

25. Unstoppable – Sia

It feels like Sia has been around forever. While she had success with Zero 7, it wasn’t until 2015 that she broke through as a solo artist.

Unstoppable was released in 2016 and remains one of her biggest hits and most used songs in travel content. The high-energy and empowering track with its motivational lyrics fits so well with exploration, adventure, and personal triumphs.

The song’s powerful and confident message amplifies scenes of overcoming challenges and seizing the moment while travelling. Think summiting mountains and completing multi-day treks!

26. Riptide – Vance Joy

One of my favourite songs to use on my travel content, ‘Riptide’ by Vance Joy brings a light and breezy feel to reels and stories.

I’ve used this one often and it worked well for things like road trips around Albania or motorcycle trips when visiting Bali or Vietnam!

The catchy ukulele riffs and upbeat tempo of this song are perfect for the carefree moments during your adventures. The track’s relaxed vibe creates an atmosphere of fun and leisure, ideal for visuals of road trips, beach outings, or exploration in beautiful locations.

It’s somehow energetic, yet relaxed making it an excellent choice for those scenes of casual exploration and memorable travel moments.

27. Blue Sea – Buffalo

When I hear ‘Blue Sea’ by Buffalo I instantly dream of far-off shores! It must be the sound of waves from this enticing and mellow track!

The calming melodies and soothing vibes create an ideal backdrop for any dreamy sea-related content. Whether that be cockatiels in a beach bar or simply chilling in a hammock the song gives off a peaceful and scenic feel.

There are no lyrics to this song so you could listen to it on an endless loop and never even realise!

28. Dancing In The Moonlight – Jubël

This 2020 cover of ‘Dancing In The Moonlight’ by Jubël is an upbeat track that takes a chilled classic and turns it into a lively, energetic song ready for scenes of fun and joy during adventures.

The song’s modern reimagining creates a cheerful atmosphere and inviting melody, making it a great choice for carefree moments, friendships, and vibrant travel scenes.

While this song is a great choice for your content, I would also suggest another Jubël hit – Klingande (wait for the dreamy saxophone part!)

29. On The Road Again – Willie Nelson

An utter classic that works on many levels! ‘On the Road Again’ was released back in 1980 and is a timeless anthem

The song encapsulates the adventurous spirit of being on the move, making it an excellent choice for any journey highlights. With its classic country sound and upbeat tempo, it’s perfect for road trips, exploration, and adventures.

Nelson’s spirited tune serves as an excellent choice for moments that capture the thrill and joy of travel experiences.

How Do You Make A Good Travel Reel?

Making a good travel reel, Insta story or TikTok doesn’t have to be difficult. You’ll naturally capture visually stunning content since you’re already travelling to epic destinations.

If you want to try and jazz up your reels and content, here are some tips to help:

  • Use different angles to create different perspectives (try wide angle.)
  • Check out some of the trending reels and stories for inspiration.
  • Add text, like titles and inspirational captions if you feel the viewer can benefit.
  • Choose an epic song for your travel reel from the list I just gave you.
  • Don’t let filters overpower your content.
  • Edit for the timing of the music if this adds to the flow.

Apart from that, the best advice is to just have fun with it. Remember that content is a result of your travel experiences, not the other way around!

Wrapping Up: Songs For Travel Reels

Since music plays such a significant role in how we remember our travel experiences it’s important to combine the visual and audio to create the perfect travel reel.

The songs listed here are just a small sample of the sounds that can make your travel reels more engaging. The more travel reels/stories you create, the easier it will be to choose the best song to match.

I prefer to edit my content after a trip since I’m always too busy enjoying myself during it. It’s important to know that creating great content isn’t the whole part of the journey (unless you’re a paid influencer!)

So, let your storytelling stand out with this amazing collection of travel reel songs but, above all, enjoy the journey and the process.

Furthermore, the following are methods that will help you find music that matches your brand: 

  • Define the personality and values of your brand: Is your brand modern and edgy or traditional and classic? Do you want to exude vigour, sophistication, or relaxation? Finding music that matches your brand will be easier once you understand its personality and values.
  • Investigate your target audience: Select music from genres and eras your target audience enjoys. For example, classic rock songs may appeal to Baby Boomers, whereas recent pop hits are more likely to appeal to Millennials and Gen Z.
  • Seek inspiration: Look through music blogs and playlists to find new and emerging artists who fit the vibe of your brand. 
  • Test and refine: Once you’ve chosen some potential tracks, run them by your target audience to see how they react.

How to use viral sounds to expand reach and engagement 

Using popular sounds and music on Reels is a simple way to boost views and engagement. People enjoy discovering new songs and sounds, so highlighting what is currently popular or trending is an excellent strategy.

Furthermore, the following are methods for obtaining viral sounds for your Instagram reels: 

  • A trending TikTok sound : Reusing popular TikTok sounds on Reels is a simple way to capitalise on their popularity.
  • A new song snippet: When a famous artist releases a new song, posting a short clip on Reels within a day or two of its release allows you to capitalise on the hype.
  • A sound from a recently released film or TV show: Profit from the popularity of movies, TV shows, characters, or quotes.
  • A sound of a viral meme: Meme sounds and catchphrases are notorious for spreading like wildfire across platforms. Including one in your Reel can increase its visibility and shares.
  • To get trending IG songs, follow @creators and @reelstips : On Fridays, they upload a lot of viral Instagram trends.

How to make Instagram reels with background music 

Are you tired of using the same sound as everyone else? Do you want something unique for your brand? Here’s an idea: use background music for reels.

Here are some ideas to help you go viral: 

  • Voiceovers: Your voice is a potent tool, and including a voiceover in your reel can help bring your travel experiences to life. Your voiceover should be exciting and informative while complementing the visuals in your reel.
  • Use soft and mellow instrumentals: Mellow, soft instrumentals are ideal for travel-themed reels. They create a soothing and relaxing environment that transports viewers to your location. 
  • Make use of nature sounds: The sound of waves crashing against the shore, birds chirping in the morning, or rain falling on leaves can enhance the immersion of your footage. 

Note: Keep your reel short and sweet – aim for 15-30 seconds – and always make sure the music and sounds you use are licensed for commercial use or fall under fair use guidelines.

Groove To These Travel Reels: Best Songs For The Journey

travelling songs for reel

Looking for the perfect soundtrack to accompany your travel reels? Look no further! In this article, we’ll explore the power of songs for travel reels and how they can enhance your videos, taking them from average to extraordinary. So why are songs for travel reels so important? Well, imagine capturing breathtaking landscapes, thrilling adventures, and unforgettable memories all on camera. Now, think about how much more impactful those visuals will be when paired with the right music. Songs have the incredible ability to evoke emotions, set the tone, and transport viewers to the very heart of your travel experiences. So let’s dive in and discover the art of choosing the best songs for your travel reels!

Songs for Travel Reels

Travel reels are a fantastic way to capture and share the essence of your adventures. Whether you are creating a montage of breathtaking landscapes, showcasing thrilling activities, or highlighting memorable moments with friends and family, the right music can elevate your travel reel and make it an unforgettable experience.

In this article, we will explore the importance of selecting the perfect songs for your travel reels and provide a diverse list of songs that will add depth and emotion to your videos. Let’s dive in and discover the power of music in travel reels.

The Importance of Music in Travel Reels

When it comes to travel reels, music plays a vital role in enhancing the overall impact of the video. Here are a few reasons why selecting the right songs is crucial:

1. Sets the Mood: Music has the power to evoke emotions and set the tone for your travel reel. Whether you want to create an upbeat and energetic vibe or a more serene and contemplative mood, the right song can instantly transport viewers to the destination.

2. Enhances Visuals: The right music can complement the visuals in your travel reel, intensifying the impact of each scene. It can synchronize with the timing and rhythm of the footage, creating a seamless and immersive viewing experience.

3. Tells a Story: Music has a unique storytelling ability. It can amplify the narrative of your travel reel, highlighting the journey, the experiences, and the emotions associated with it. The right song can make your travel reel feel like a captivating story unfolding before the viewers’ eyes.

Choosing the Perfect Songs

Now that we understand the importance of music in travel reels, let’s delve into the process of selecting the perfect songs. Here are some factors to consider when choosing the soundtrack for your travel reel:

1. Genre and Style

The genre and style of the music should align with the theme and mood of your travel reel. Consider the destination, the activities showcased, and the overall vibe you want to convey. Whether it’s energetic pop, soothing acoustic melodies, or epic orchestral soundtracks, choose a genre that complements your visuals.

2. Lyrics and Language

Decide whether you want songs with lyrics or instrumental tracks. Lyrics can add depth and meaning to your travel reel, but they can also distract from the visuals. Consider the primary language spoken in the destination and whether the lyrics will resonate with your audience.

3. Tempo and Rhythm

The tempo and rhythm of the music should match the pace of your travel reel. For fast-paced action-packed reels, opt for songs with a higher tempo to create a sense of excitement. For slow-motion or serene sequences, choose songs with a slower tempo to enhance the tranquility.

4. Copyright and Licensing

When selecting music for your travel reel, it’s essential to ensure you have the proper rights and licenses to use the songs. Avoid using copyrighted music without permission, as it can lead to legal issues. Numerous websites offer royalty-free music that you can use freely or for a small fee.

A Diverse Playlist for Travel Reels

To help you kickstart your search for the perfect travel reel songs, we’ve curated a diverse playlist with a range of genres and moods. Remember to choose songs that resonate with your personal style and the overall aesthetic of your travel reel. Here are some fantastic options:

1. “Adventure of a Lifetime” by Coldplay

This catchy and uplifting song by Coldplay perfectly captures the spirit of adventure. With its energetic beats and inspiring lyrics, it’s an excellent choice for travel reels that showcase exhilarating activities and breathtaking landscapes.

2. “Riptide” by Vance Joy

With its infectious ukulele melody and whimsical lyrics, “Riptide” by Vance Joy is a feel-good song that adds a carefree and joyful vibe to your travel reel. It’s perfect for capturing moments of laughter and fun with friends and family.

3. “Africa” by Toto

Bringing a nostalgic touch, “Africa” by Toto is a timeless classic that resonates with travelers worldwide. Its iconic melody and heartfelt lyrics make it a popular choice for travel reels that explore the beauty of Africa or any other destination.

4. “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole

This soulful rendition of the classic song by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole is ideal for travel reels that focus on scenic landscapes and serene moments. The gentle ukulele strumming and Kamakawiwo’ole’s soothing voice create a sense of tranquility and beauty.

5. “Born to Be Wild” by Steppenwolf

For adventure-packed travel reels that showcase adrenaline-fueled activities like road trips, extreme sports, or thrilling expeditions, “Born to Be Wild” provides the perfect soundtrack. Its iconic rock sound amplifies the excitement and thrill of the visuals.

6. “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” by Shakira

This energetic and empowering song by Shakira was the official anthem for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Its infectious rhythm and uplifting lyrics make it a great choice for travel reels that celebrate diversity, culture, and the spirit of exploration.

7. “Home” by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

With its folksy charm and heartfelt lyrics, “Home” by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros adds warmth and nostalgia to your travel reel. It’s perfect for showcasing the close bonds formed on journeys or emphasizing the feeling of finding home in the world.

Incorporating the right songs into your travel reels can transform them from ordinary videos to extraordinary visual experiences. Music has the power to elicit emotions, tell stories, and enhance the overall impact of your footage. Remember to choose songs that align with your travel reel’s theme, genre, and style, always respecting copyright and licensing regulations. So, unleash your creativity and elevate your travel reels with the perfect songs that encapsulate the essence of your adventures. Happy travels and happy editing!

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email [email protected] .

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

  • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
  • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
  • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
  • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
  • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
  • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

  • Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
  • Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
  • Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
  • Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
  • Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
  • Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
  • Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Browser and assistive technology compatibility

We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to [email protected] .

Why You Should Incorporate Instagram Reels

Driving traffic to your blog is your number one priority if you’re a blogger. It’s how you make successful affiliate incomes, on-page ads income, and market your own products. The social media networks that everyone frequents could all come crashing down one day? But chances are- your blog will remain unless the internet crashes too. If that happens.. let’s just say your biggest problem is probably no longer driving traffic to your blog k?

Anyways – let’s circle back to why you should use Instagram Reels? This new type of content on Instagram means that you have a new opportunity to grab your intended audience’s attention. Notice I said intended audience ? Regardless of what niche you’re in- recognize that people are online and they are stumbling across different content all of the time. Your content could be discovered next! It just requires you to put yourself out there in a way that’s appealing to your audience!

Also, keep in mind: When Instagram or any social platform rolls out something new, they prioritize that content! That means your reach will be much higher by using what content they want you to use!

How To Use Instagram Reels

Instagram Reels may seem complicated but they really are easy to use! To show you how to use Reels.. we created a Reel of our German Shepherd Thunder. (Who doesn’t love dogs right?

Trending Songs on Instagram Reels By Genre

You’ll need to take some time to decide what vibe you want before choosing music for Instagram reels. For reels of Europe.. you could use something instrumental or something fun – but it should match the vibe of your feed and blog as a whole.

10. Empire Of The Sun – We Are The People

We can remember swimming in December Heading for the city lights in 1975 We share in each other Nearer than farther The scent of a lemon drips from your eyes

11. MGMT – Electric Feel

Did I ever tell you we are drivers through a road called life Oh, what is life A piece of pie bursting from the seems that everything’s alright Spin in circles, jump together now

Shine, you can make it grow From the summer ground To the highest clouds

14. Ramon Mirabet – Those Little Things

I remember that first summer. Settled on the (dark) you said, Open up your heart

Even good things can leave scars, Don’t be afraid.

15. Manel Navarro – Candle

Your smile is like the sunset in the month of June. When we’re together there is nothing out of tune. ‘Cause I hear your voice and I don’t know what to do.

16. The Chainsmokers – Paris

We were staying in Paris To get away from your parents And I thought, “Wow If I could take this in a shot right now

While I’m wasted with someone else”

Girl, you know I want your love Your love was handmade for somebody like me Come on now, follow my lead I may be crazy, don’t mind me

18. Coldplay – Paradise

When she was just a girl She expected the world But it flew away from her reach And the bullets catch in her teeth

Life goes on, it gets so heavy The wheel breaks the butterfly Every tear a waterfall In the night the stormy night she’ll close her eyes In the night the stormy night away she’d fly

19. Bob Dylan – A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? Oh, where have you been, my darling young one? I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains I’ve walked and I’ve crawled on six crooked highways I’ve stepped in the middle of seven sad forests I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans I’ve been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall

20. Jake Bugg – Simple As This

Traveled to each ocean’s end Saw all seven wonders, trying to make some sense Memorized the mantra Confucius said But it only let me down

Tried absolution of the mind and soul It only led me where I should not go Oh and the answer well how could I miss Something as simple as this Something as simple as this

21. Birdy – Wings

Sunlight comes creeping in Illuminates our skin We watch the day go by Stories of all we did It made me think of you It made me think of you

Under a trillion stars We danced on top of cars Took pictures of the stage So far from where we are They made me think of you They made me think of you

22. George Ezra – Barcelona

Barcelona, I still long to hold her once more, oh, My boots of leather, From Europe I gather you know, know,

Every time you have to go Shut my eyes and you know I’ll be lying right by your side In Barcelona

23. The Killers – When You Were Young

You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful boy to To save you from your old ways You play forgiveness Watch it now, here he comes

He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus But he talks like a gentlemen Like you imagined When you were young

24. Semisonic – Closing Time

Closing time Time for you to go out to the places you will be from Closing time This room won’t be open till your brothers or your sisters come So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits I hope you have found a friend Closing time Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end

25. Incubus – Drive

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear And I can’t help but ask myself how much I’ll let the fear Take the wheel and steer It’s driven me before And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal But lately, I am beginning to find That I should be the one behind the wheel

26. Blur – Song 2

I got my head checked By a jumbo jet It wasn’t easy But nothing is No

Woo-hoo When I feel heavy-metal And I’m pins and I’m needles Well, I lie and I’m easy All the time but I am never sure Why I need you Pleased to meet you

27. Foo Fighters – Times Like These

it’s times like these you learn to live again it’s times like these you give and give again it’s times like these you learn to love again it’s times like these time and time again

I am a new day rising I’m a brand new sky to hang the stars upon tonight I am a little divided do I stay or run away and leave it all behind?

28. Milky Chance – Stolen Dance

And I want you We can bring it on the floor You’ve never danced like this before We don’t talk about it Dancin’ on do the boogie all night long Stoned in paradise, shouldn’t talk about it

29. Coldplay – Hymn For The Weekend

Oh, angel sent from up above You know you make my world light up When I was down when I was hurt You came to lift me up

Life is a drink, and love’s a drug Oh, now I think I must be miles up When I was a river, dried up You came to rain a flood

30. Boston- More than A Feeling

So many people have come and gone Their faces fade as the years go by Yet I still recall as I wander on As clear as the sun in the summer sky

It’s more than a feeling when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling) I begin dreaming (more than a feeling) ‘Till I see Marianne walk away I see my Marianne walkin’ away

31. Toto – Africa

It’s gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There’s nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never have

32. Guaranteed – Eddie Vedder

On bended knee is no way to be free Lifting up an empty cup I ask silently That all my destinations will accept the one that’s me So I can breath

Circles they grow and they swallow people whole Half their lives they say goodnight to wive’s they’ll never know Got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul So it goes

Don’t come closer or I’ll have to go Holding me like gravity are places that pull If ever there was someone to keep me at home It would be you

Everyone I come across in cages they bought They think of me and my wandering But I’m never what they thought Got my indignation but I’m pure in all my thoughts

I’m alive Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere Underneath my being is a road that disappeared Late at night I hear the trees

They’re singing with the dead Overhead Leave it to me as I find a way to be Consider me a satellite for ever orbiting

I knew all the rules but the rules did not know me Guaranteed

75 Travel Songs to add to your Playlist in 2024 – Mixtape #2

Nour De Wilde Salhab - Hostel Expert on Hostelgeeks.com

We curated the second mixtape of the best travel songs.

This list features classic songs about traveling to brand new tracks.

You can find more travel songs here:

  • Summer Mixtape #1 for the perfect travelers playlist
  • 17 best Backpacker Songs you’ve to know
  • 10 songs for exploring the world

This list features a lot of cool songs you’ve to put on your phone. However, and always remember this, go out there and create your own travel songs.

What do we mean by that?

During your travels you will end up in a lot of fun situations.

You will collect memories, and a few songs will take part in it. Then, when you are back home or wherever, you will hear this special song in the radio – and it takes you right back to those fun situations you will cherish forever.

For us, this is for instance “We don’t talk anymore” – we traveled Vietnam for 3 months and some local in every single village, town and city played it at least once. We turned crazy, yet it’s today a part of the experience. Then in Labuan Bajo, while taking the boat cruise around the Komodo National Park, the boat crew only had only one song to play, HIOKO TOBELO 2 – Yopie Latul .

Please be patient and wait for the YouTube video to load.

1. Ricky Nelson – Travelin’ Man

I’m a travelin’ man I’ve made a lot of stops all over the world And in every part I own the heart Of at least one lovely girl

I’ve a pretty Señorita waiting for me Down in old Mexico If you’re ever in Alaska stop and see My cute little Eskimo

Oh, my sweet Fraulein down in Berlin town Makes my heart start to yearn And my China doll down in old Hong Kong Waits for my return

Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea I remember the night When we walked in the sands of the Waikiki And I held you, oh so tight

2. The Melodic – “On My Way”

I found an open door (I’m on my way) I think of love once more (I’m on my way)

Precious time on your own Seeing more than you care to say And the mist falls away (I’m on my way)

At times I’ve tried to feel (I’m on my way) With the thoughts I tried to steal (I’m on my way)

Left forgotten like young love All the choices I am made of When the push comes to shove

3. Passenger – Traveling Alone

Australian man, Scandinavian tan, Kicking stones round a square. Sat for a while and carved out a smile, As if someone would care.

Said I’m a long way from the Gold Coast. Furthest I’ve ever known, Oh and this just ain’t my home. It was my wife’s idea, but she’s no longer here. She left me travelling alone.

I never heard silence ring out like a bell. I never heard silence like last night in my expensive hotel. Well, I’m loving a shadow, I’m trying to catch the rain. But I never heard silence ’til I heard it today.

She walked out of the hotel, I could still smell the smoke of the burning heart left inside. She said men are all assholes And life’s a bad joke. She laughed and started to cry.

See, ten years with this man, And a life time of plans, Oh, and I loved him to his bones. Now I’ve lines on my skin And he’s traded me in. He left me travelling alone.

Well, I never felt silence hit me like a train. I never felt silence like blood coursed through my veins. Well, I’m loving a shadow, and I’m trying to catch the rain. I never heard silence ’til I heard it today. I never felt silence ’til I felt it today.

4. Band of Horses – The Funeral

I’m coming up only to hold you under I’m coming up only to show you wrong And to know you is hard, we wonder To know you, all wrong we were

Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh

8. Red Hot Chili Peppers – Californication

Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind’s elation And little girls from Sweden dream of silver screen quotation And if you want these kind of dreams it’s Californication It’s the edge of the world and all of western civilization

9. Of Monsters and Men – Dirty Paws

Jumping up and down the floor My head is an animal And once there was an animal It had a son that mowed the lawn The son was an OK guy They had a pet dragonfly The dragonfly it ran away But it came back with a story to say

Her dirty paws and furry coat She ran down the forest slope The forest of talking trees They used to sing about the birds and the bees The bees had declared a war The sky wasn’t big enough for them all The birds, they got help from below From dirty paws and the creatures of snow

10. Foo Fighters – These Days

12. Ben Howard – Old Pine

Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags I’ve come to know that memories Were the best things you ever had The summer shone beat down on bony backs

So far from home where the ocean stood Down dust and pine cone tracks We slept like dogs down by the fire side Awoke to the fog all around us

The boom of summer time We stood Steady as the stars in the woods So happy-hearted

And the warmth rang true inside these bones As the old pine fell we sang Just to bless the morning

13. The Byrds – I Wasn’t Born To Follow

Recommended by the Hostelgeeks community member Alexandra.

No I’d rather go and journey Where the diamond crescent’s glowing And run across the valley Beneath the sacred mountain And wander through the forest

Where the trees have leaves of prisms And break the light in colors That no one know the names of

And when it’s time I’ll go and lay Beside the legendary fountain ‘Till I see her form reflected

In its clear and jewelled waters And if you think I’m ready You may lead me to the chasm Where the rivers of our visions Flow into one another

14. Imagine Dragons – Not Today

There she goes in front of me Take my life and set me free again We’ll make a memory out of it Holy road is at my back Don’t look on, take me back again

We’ll make a memory out of it We finally fall apart and we break each other’s hearts

If we wanna live young, love, we better start today It’s gotta get easier, oh easier somehow

‘Cause I’m falling, I’m falling Oh easier and easier somehow

Oh I’m calling, I’m calling And it isn’t over, unless it is over I don’t wanna wait for that It’s gotta get easier and easier somehow But not today Not today

15. Mumford & Sons – Hopeless Wanderer

You heard my voice, I came out of the woods by choice Shelter also gave their shade But in the dark I have no name So leave that click in my head And I will remember the words that you said Left a clouded mind and a heavy heart But I am sure we could see a new start So when your hopes on fire But you know your desire Don’t hold a glass over the flame Don’t let your heart grow cold I will call you by name I will share your road

But hold me fast, hold me fast ‘Cause I’m a hopeless wanderer And hold me fast, hold me fast ‘Cause I’m a hopeless wanderer

16. Paper Lions – Travelling

Travelling the road, last known is where I want to be My compass directing, electing, an open road with golden trees But there’s an old man in need on the ground, I try not to make a sound He holds out his hand as I walk away, I hear him say

Please don’t be a stranger in my place Travelling come to a tavern for a momentary rest

I see the old man that I passed on the road in his distress As I turned to go I can hear him say, “Son, stay. Have a drink, I’ll pay.” Let bygones be gone, it’s all in the past, we raise a glass Please don’t be a stranger in my place

What if I could be what you wanted me to be What if I could see what you wanted me to see Come on and show me Please don’t be a stranger in my place

Is it so hard to say the same thing? And you’re so weak to say the same thing And burn a hole into your apprehensiveness And let the wildfire shine And repeat after me

You’re in love with something bigger than love You believe in something stronger than trust

Wanderlust Wanderlust

23. Bastille – Pompeii

I was left to my own devices Many days fell away with nothing to show

And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You’ve been here before?

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

So make the best of this test, and don’t ask why It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs, and still-frames in your mind Hang them on a shelf in good health and good time Tattoo’s of memories and dead skin on trial For what it’s worth, it was worth all the while

It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right I hope you had the time of your life

25. The Script – Hall of Fame

Yeah, you could be the greatest You can be the best

33. José González – Stay Alive

There’s a rhythm in rush these days Where the lights don’t move and the colors don’t fade Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams

In a world gone shallow In a world gone lean

Sometimes there’s things a man cannot know Gears won’t turn and the leaves won’t grow There’s no place to run and no gasoline

Engine won’t turn And the train won’t leave

Engines won’t turn and the train won’t leave I will stay with you tonight

Hold you close ‘til the morning light In the morning watch a new day rise We’ll do whatever just to stay alive We’ll do whatever just to stay alive

And you begin to feel a funny little thrill

Moving up your spine

35. The Chainsmokers – Paris

We were staying in Paris To get away from your parents And I thought, “Wow If I could take this in a shot right now I don’t think that we could work this out” Out on the terrace I don’t know if it’s fair but I thought “How Could I let you fall by yourself While I’m wasted with someone else”

If we go down then we go down together They’ll say you could do anything They’ll say that I was clever If we go down then we go down together We’ll get away with everything Let’s show them we are better

39. OK Go – Here It Goes Again

It could be ten, but then again I can’t remember half an hour since a quarter to four Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa And you leave me with my jaw on the floor

Well it’s all right, riding around in the breeze Well it’s all right, if you live the life you please Well it’s all right, doing the best you can Well it’s all right, as long as you lend a hand

You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring (end of the line) Waiting for someone to tell you everything (end of the line) Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring (end of the line) Maybe a diamond ring

41. Bright Eyes – “First Day Of My Life”

This is the first day of my life Swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed They’re spreading blankets on the beach

Yours was the first face that I saw I think I was blind before I met you I don’t know where I am, I don’t know where I’ve been But I know where I want to go

And so I’d thought I’d let you know That these things take forever, I especially am slow But I realized that need you And I wondered if I could come home

I remember the time you drove all night Just to meet me in the morning And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed You felt as if you just woke up

Come away with me, baby Join me in my car We can go real far away Away from here

She wants to know his name Wants his wealth, but not his fame Watch your pride

43. Depeche Mode – Enjoy the Silence

Words like violence Break the silence Come crashing in Into my little world

Painful to me Pierce right through me Can’t you understand? Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted All I ever needed

Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Vows are spoken

To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain

So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable All I ever wanted All I ever needed

Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night.

70. Passenger | The Wrong Direction

When I was a kid the things I did were hidden under the grid Young and naive I never believed that love could be so well hid With regret I’m willing to bet and say the older you get It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget It gets under your shirt like a dagger at work The first cut is the deepest but the rest still flipping hurt You build your heart of plastic Get cynical and sarcastic And end up in the corner on your own

‘Cause I’d love to feel love but I can’t stand the rejection I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection I thought I was close but under further inspection It seems I’ve been running in the wrong direction oh no

Outside the frame, is what we’re leaving out You won’t remember anyway I can go with the flow But don’t say it doesn’t matter anymore I can go with the flow Do you believe it in your head? It’s so safe to play along Little soldiers in a row Falling in and out of love With something sweet to throw away. But I want something good to die for To make it beautiful to live.

I can go with the flow But don’t say it doesn’t matter anymore I can go with the flow Do you believe it in your head?

Extra 76. Sky on the Loose – Inkfield

Do you want an insider tip for cool travel songs? Then listen into Inkfield’s Sky on the Loose. Inkfield is a solo solo indie rock act from Edinburgh, UK.

Here are the lyrics.

Messaging like nights before, crashing through the wall I’m using all my strength and breath, I’m gonna show them all

You talk of my impending doom, no promise nor a myth You justify avoiding me to sell out on a whiff

Don’t you tire of telling me? ‘The world ends at the sky, You’re just a little fish another simple passer by, All your songs and poetry are droplets in the sea’ I said ‘That is ok for you, your words won’t follow me!’

138+ Trending Music & Songs for Reels on Instagram [UPDATED]

Reels is the brand new feature of Instagram that allows users to shoot short 15 second videos on Instagram. If you have used TikTok earlier, this would sound familiar. With the exit of TikTok, Facebook-owned Instagram took advantage of the situation and rolled out a promising alternative, Instagram Reels. The feature has presently been launched in 50 countries across the globe including India and the USA. The feature not only allows users to create videos on the app, but they can also get creative with filters and add their own audio or choose music from the ever-expanding massive library it offers.

The millennials have already given Reels a rapturous reception and it has become the new fun task while people still stay indoors during the pandemic.

Additionally, Reels is also shaping up for business owners as a new way to build a community and grow their organic reach and authority while sharing snippets of their work. Brands and influencers are using the feature to teasers for their audience. Influencers working on niches such as beauty, fitness, fashion, food, jewelry, clothing, and event management are making the most of it. The difficult-to-crack Instagram algorithm is also known to favor increasing engagement over Reels.

Besides the variety of the soundtrack collection, Reels also curates an assortment of trending and classic tracks to suit your taste and mood. A visit to the Reels library spoils you for choice.

To keep you from getting lost in your selection, we curated our own little list of popular music & songs for Instagram reels to keep you on track.

Enotria: The Last Song - All Stats Explained

Enotria: the last song - custode quest guide, enotria: the last song - the lovers quest guide, quick links, how to fast travel in enotria: the last song, other things players can do at resting spots.

Jyamma Games' Enotria: The Last Song takes place in a beautiful setting, making it different from the other soulslike games that are set in gloomy areas. After players finish the tutorial, they will get the opportunity to move around and explore different areas.

It is not as big as the AAA games, but there are still many exploration options. Getting from one place to another on foot can be cumbersome, but thankfully, the developers have included fast travel in Enotria: The Last Song .

It's crucial to understand the stats in Enotria: The Last Song to increase the chances of survival while exploring the game.

Players will not be able to fast travel until they remove knots from resting spots. Luckily, the process is simple.

  • Go to the rest spot.
  • Press the A Button (Xbox) and the X Button (PlayStation) to remove the knot.
  • Once the knot is gone, rest at the place.
  • This will bring up several options (depending on how far players have reached in the story).
  • Select fast travel, and choose the place where you want to go.
  • Confirm the choice to fast travel to the selected location.

The resting spots in Enotria: The Last Song also act as places where players can level up their character. Considering it is a soulslike game , players must constantly monitor the available Memoria and use them to level up their character. As with most games in the genre, Enotria: The Last Song gives players the freedom to customize their builds. They can opt for a physical build or one that focuses on magic.

Customizing Loadouts

In Enotria: The Last Song , players can have up to three types of loadouts. It is possible to switch between them at any time. However, players cannot customize them when they are not resting. So, they have to return and make the adjustments before moving on.

It is possible to change weapons at any time.

Unlock New Abilities

From the Path of Innovators option, players can unlock new passive perks that can greatly enhance the fighting capabilities of the character. All players need to do is rest at a spot, select Path of Innovators, and unlock perks that they think would be beneficial to them in the long run. However, players must remember that they can only have six perks active at any given time. So make sure to invest carefully.

How to travel to Falesia Magna in Enotria The Last Song

Image of Rachel Samples

Okay, so you’ve just defeated Zanni. That’s great and all, but where do you go from there? In Enotria: The Last Song , you’ll need to travel to a different region called Falesia Magna to progress the story, though it isn’t immediately clear how to do so.

After defeating Zanni and visiting his theater, Pulcinella will tell you to travel to Falesia Magna, and two images of gates you’ve seen on your journey will flash across your screen. One of these gates leads to Falesia Magna, while the other leads to Litumnia. It’s likely been quite some time since you saw these gates, however, so you may not remember exactly where they were located.

Here’s how to get to Falesia Magna after you defeat Zanni in Enotria: The Last Song .

Falesia Magna location in Enotria

A gate stands in front of a sunflower field

The sunflowers in the image above will serve as a clue for where you need to go. To reach Falesia Magna and progress Enotria’ s story, you need to visit any nearby knot and fast-travel to the Field of Beginnings —where your journey began. From this location, head towards the sunflower fields and take a right once you get to the main road.

The gate, which was previously closed, should now be open. If you head through, you’ll reach a fork in the road: Head left, and you’ll eventually reach a locked gate that requires a key. If you go right at the fork, you’ll see a Lumberjack enemy who’s a lot tougher than other Lumberjacks you’ve faced. He’s more of a mini boss, and he boasts the Vis elemental type , so you’ll want to equip a Fatuo weapon or Mask Line to take him down. Deadly Culling, a Mask Line found outside of the School of Zanni knot, is a good option for the task if you’re in need of a Fatou attack.

Once you beat this enemy, you’ll be granted 50 Lumberjack Mask Shards (collect 150 more for the Lumberjack’s Mask) and the Trunk Splitter Mask Line. This foe is not the end of the road—although it might look like it. Behind where the Lumberjack was will be a set of stones with a blue painting of a face on it, as shown in the image below.

When you approach these stones, Pulcinella will appear again with his trusty lute, indicating this is the way forward, and you’ll be prompted to travel to Falesia Magna . There you’ll find bosses like Giangurgolo and Captain Spaventa, as well as a host of other weapons and Mask Lines. Don’t worry about this being a one-way street; you’ll be able to travel back to the lands of Quinta at any point in your playthrough whenever you interact with a knot.
