Travelling is so much fun, and you can make this experience even more enjoyable with the help of a collection of songs. Music has the ability to relax and soothe us, change our states of mind, and summon recollections. Also, for some voyagers, music is firmly connected to travel. It can assist us with understanding individuals and culture of a spot, separate language boundaries, and burn certain minutes into our recollections for eternity.
In this travel guide, we are going to provide you with a couple of easy listening songs for your travel playlist.

Take the train from Casablanca going south

Many years since I was here
On the street I was passin’ my time away
To the left and to the right,

And baby, you’d better believe
I’m back, back in the New York groove
Walking in Memphis – Marc Cohn
Snippet of Song’s Lyrics:
Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered ’round his tomb
But there’s a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room
When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?

Yes, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind

Guess I’ll have to go now

Off the Florida Keys, there’s a place called Kokomo
That’s where you want to go to get away from it all
Bodies in the sand, tropical drink melting in your hand
We’ll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica, oh I want to take you to

Africa – Toto
Snippet of Song’s Lyrics:
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what’s right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what’s deep inside, frightened of this thing that I’ve become
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

Make me forget all that hurts me, let me understand your plan

You don’t know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.
