Some lovely songs to accompany me on a road trip if I ever get around to it. The theme varies a little bit, but it's mostly about other peoples' cities, traveling, and desperation. Also, the songs switch off between old and new. Enjoy.

4 Scarlett Johansson : Fannn' Street
"There's a crooked street in Houston town..." I used this version for several reasons: it's fairly recent (the theme being old/new/old/new again) and because her voice is sort of creepy in a way that I love on this song.
