Dire Straits' 'Walk of Life' is one of those perfect tunes to listen to on a road trip
the perfect summer It would be an explosive combination of Thelma and Louise and Call me by your name. That is, a vacation in the let the road be the one who decides our destiny, but without persecution, with the same shocks that it can have day to day in a house in the countryside.
A trip in which we are worth with what we wear and a couple of other things (flip flops and swimwear are a must, of course) , without forgetting to leave a space in the trunk to take us, wherever we go, beach or mountain, ** the calm inspired by the bucolic landscapes of Lombardy where Elio and Oliver fall in love. **
Love. Yes, definitely a romance is an ingredient that is never lacking in summer (or shouldn't), like they don't the sound of cicadas, the buzz of wasps, the aroma of the sea, the dripping fruit snacks -along with the corresponding debate on whether you are more of a watermelon or a melon-, the nights of rain of stars to the cool, bike rides or ** the song that never fills you up. **
Speaking of music, he says Sabine in 'City Fish' that "To the place where you have been happy you should not try to return." Well, with our apologies, Joaquin, we'll be back. This summer, which we were looking forward to more than ever, we will return to the destinations where our memories await us patiently, to those places that during these months have flooded us with nostalgia.
We will abandon video calls sponsored by Google Maps Street View to go through each of the coordinates of our search history **in the company of whoever was on the other side of the screen. **
we will change the urban canes, in which the beach sneaks into more than one conversation , for refreshing drinks of a can coated in sand facing the sea -and what a pleasure- or a piña colada in a beach bar while listening to 'Escape (The Pina Colada Song)'.
There will be no greater pleasure than heading to our summer homes at sunset while the summer breeze sneaks through the window and disheveles our hair knowing that the next day awaits us the same blessed "new routine".
We want a summer like the one in 'Call me by your name'
And for that, we will start as soon as we can to the rhythm of 'Road Trippin' by Red Hot Chili Peppers and we will leave behind kilometers and kilometers of asphalt while they reproduce classics like 'Mr. Jones', 'Hotel California', 'Winds of Change' or what our travel companions decide -the fights for the station change will not be allowed-.
Because It will not matter what, where, how, but together. We will be happy, a lot, enjoying the simplest things, which are the ones that matter. quoting BobMarley: “Singing don't worry about a thing. 'Cause every little thing gonna be alright” (Singing don't worry about a thing. Because every little thing is going to be alright).
That's what we'll do, sing at the top of our lungs 'Every Breathe You Take' by The Police, 'The Passenger' by Iggy Pop, 'Here Comes The Sun' by The Beatles, 'Sultans of Swing' by Dire Straits, the legendary 'Walk On the Wild Side' by Lou Reed and other great songs that we have compiled in this playlist.
And when the sunny days are over and we have to return home, we will continue to dream as much as we have during the confinement , but, above all, we will begin to cross out all those experiences that were left on standby.
What if we tour the Spanish coast in a caravan in search of its best waves?
Dear traveler, this has been just a stop: on any journey even in that long and bumpy life we call "life", from time to time, it is necessary to refuel. And that doesn't mean stopping. Shall we warm up engines? Hit play!
Songs that will make you forget you ask "how much is left?"
