great songs to just walk to

Not especially long but I threw some cliff notes in anyways.

A weird thing happened to me today. It was a nice, crisp October day and I am downtown studying studying in a coffee shop and I decide its time to leave. I grab myself an Earl Grey and start walking. I put on my headphones and start listening to music, and of all a sudden, I was the most happy and just content with my life that I can ever remember being. Nothing especially good has happened to me recently to cause this, in fact my tea had way too much cream and too little sugar, and my headphones are actually quite terrible, and I had just given myself a nasty papercut, but for about 20 minutes I was in a state of nirvana. Anyways, I am sure a lot of this had to do with the music I was listening to, and this inspired me to start this thread.

So here it is OOT, what songs are just perfect for when you are walking around town, not in a hurry, just enjoying the sights and the sounds of the moment.

<font color="black"> </font> Cliff Notes - had a great day, music probably the cause, want to pursue that feeling more.

Here are 2 of my ideas to get this started.

1) Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees

2) Pachelbel's Canon

Bright Eyes- First Day Of My Life

Joe Budden-Walk With Me
Joe Budden-10 Minutes

Give it a shot, even if you're not into rap...Budden is a normal dude talking about everyday things. Great to chill and think about things.

I've got an 8 min. bootleg version of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings doing Poncho and Lefty that I leave on repeat a few times when taking a lap around the lake
