I have stumbled upon two songs that have great travel film clips, and every time I watch them I can't help but get a dose of wanderlust.

The first video is from Death Cab For Cutie. The video for I Will Possess Your Heart follows a girl as she travels around the world, and it goes well with the extra long intro to the song.


If you can't see the video watch it here: I Will Possess Your Heart

The other song is Sunshine from Australian artist Old Man River.

Watch video here: Sunshine

The video follows Old Man River (AKA Ohad Rein) walking around the streets of India. It makes me want to walk the streets of India again (but not jump in the Ganges).

If you have a music video that inspires wanderlust leave a comment.

A Hurdy Gurdy, or "wheel fiddle", is an instrument used in folk music, particularly in Hungary and France. (And I thought hurdy gurdy was just psychedelic dribble by Donovan).

The Hurdy Gurdy has a bass drone like a bagpipe. I find the sound of bagpipes hypnotic and I always end up following them in parades. So to with this curious instrument.

Here is a busker in Budapest playing the Hurdy Gurdy.

I would be the first to agree that England Rocks, as a land and for its musical output. As the list here shows, England has produced some of the greatest rock acts of all time, but AC/DC! Now that is cheeky. They are an Aussie band even though most of the original members were immigrants. Even if you were to use that point to discredit Australia's claim to Acca Dacca (what other country could come up with a nick name "Acca Dacca"?), the Youngs and Bonn Scott were Scottish anyway.
