Ever since I was little, I have been a fan of car rides. Whether it was just a short trip to the grocery store or a two-day drive to Florida, you could count on me being as happy as ever sitting in the backseat of my car. This is all thanks to music and the radio. Whether I had my little iPod touch in or was listening to the music on the radio my parents had put on, I always found myself happy to sing along.
The only thing that has changed since then is that I have the power to drive around on my own now and choose my own songs to sing along to. Not to mention, I have now accepted I am tone-death, but that’s beside the point. Music is constantly changing and so can your taste in music, but here’s a little list I put together of songs you might think of putting on your car playlist, depending on your mood!
