Some Driving Songs...

On CBC last weekend, they were talking about driving songs, and listeners called in and told them their favourite songs to listen to while driving. Well, I think one of my favourite songs to listen to while I am a passenger in a car that is driving, is "The Crane Wife Pt. 3" by the Decemberists. I think this is a great song to listen to while driving on the highway through the mountains at dusk, just as the sun is about to go behind the peaks, and then it's night. I don't know why, but if you imagine just the rhythm, melody and music part, and forget about the words, then it really fits in with the winding roads and the tall mountains around you. Off course, the words are great too, not that I can really make much sense of them....
But anyway, here's the video for "The Crane Wife Pt. 3" by the Decemberists, from their CD "The Crane Wife": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb6gAk5ocmE&feature=related
