Aux Cord: 8 Songs For The Most Bomb Morning Commute

• 
  
  "Moon River"- Frank Ocean
  
  
  
  
  
  As a lover of both Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Frank Ocean, I immediately sent this to each person I know the initial morning I heard it. Frank slows down the already melancholy song, injecting it with a soulful sound that the Audrey Hepburn original lacked. I’m a sucker for a classic, yet I’m even more of a sucker for a fantastic cover.

  "Fast Car"- Tracy Chapman
  
  
  
  
  
  I used to play this song so much that I measured distance by the collection of times I may listen to it. Despite being lyrically pretty sad, it’s honestly one of my feel-good jams. I think it’s the breezy chorus, and the way Tracy Chapman taps into the specific feeling of riding in a vehicle at night with the windows rolled down.

  "Fulton County Jane Doe"- Brandi Carlile
  
  
  
  
  
  “Fulton County Jane” is my preferred song on Brandi Carlile’s folksy new album. It’s sad although hopeful along with a good slow tune to begin my morning before I’m quite awake enough for a upbeat bop.

  "All The Stars"- Kendrick Lamar & SZA
  
  
  
  
  
  Let’s be real, I’m listening to all the Black Panther soundtrack on my commute, nevertheless this one's my main go to. I would listen to anything these put out, and this is no exception: the dreamy vocals from SZA and the ideal verses from Kendrick make this a complete journey.

  "Bloody Mother F*cking Asshole"- Martha Wainwright
  
  
  
  
  
  It’s very uncensored, and very good for shout-singing alone in a vehicle. If someone broke you, and you’re in need of some catharsis, I rather propose rage-listening to this song.

  "Mystery of Love"- Sufjan Stevens
  
  
  
  
  
  I have to listen to this sparingly as I don’t like to cry in public, nevertheless I love this song so much that some days I risk it. The Call Me By Your Name tune has getting a lot of attention for its Oscar nomination for Best Original Song, however yet still worth repeated spins even in the event you haven’t seen the movie however. Actually, scratch that; go visualize Call Me By Your Name immediately and then cry about this song for an entire week like I did.

  "Goodbye Earl"- Dixie Chicks
  
  
  
  
  
  I love a throwback, I love female friendship and I love the Dixie Chicks.

  "Loving is Easy"- Rex Orange County feat. Benny Sings
  
  
  
  
  
  Smooth is the ideal way I can describe this song. I love everything about it, from the retro feel to the relaxed chorus, and its music video is a claymation delight.
