Wailin’ Jennys - Beautiful Dawn

Take me to the end so I can see the start
…
Take me to the edge so I can fall apart
…
Take me where the ocean meets the sky and the land

My favorite group and one of my most favorite songs.

Be Good Tanyas - Light Enough to Travel

I’m pretty sure this song doesn’t actually have anything to do with travel or packing lightly, but I can take it literally and pretend. Plus, I love the Be Good Tanyas, so I can’t lose =)

Today I finish packing my backpack that I’m going to take with me when I travel. It will be the only thing I carry. Hopefully keeping it well under 30lbs. It was 21lbs the first time I weighed it, but I’ve added a couple items since then.

Old 97s - Champaign, Illinois

you will not go to heaven, you’ll go to champaign, illinois.

How lucky I am to have a band I like that has songs about both Illinois AND Texas AND the towns I’ve lived in (Springfield, IL; Champaign, IL, Austin, TX). Perfect for travel playlist =)
