Friendly Fires - “Paris” (Aeroplane Remix)

I’m big on travel. Traveling is pretty much the only thing I think about anymore. I’ve got an upcoming 8 hour flight to Japan and I’m trying to come up with a traveling playlist for the ride.

My first thought is this amazing remix of Friendly Fires “Paris” which replaces the original vocals with the always beautiful Au Revoir Simone. The original song is a sweet but unremarkable promise to move to France but it becomes an instant party with the heavy Aeroplane synth and the updated vocals.

What suggestions for good traveling songs do you have?
