Songs for leaving home?

Question

Soon I will be leaving my home which I've been in for 10 years and I was looking for some songs that i could make into a playlist, for reflecting on the time I've spent here, any suggestions?

Answer 1

"Leaving on a Jet Plane" was a song written by John Denver in 1967 during a layover at an airport in Washington and was recorded by the Chad Mitchell Trio that year. Others had covered the song that year, including versions from Spanky & Our Gang and Peter, Paul and Mary; however, it only became a hit when the latter act covered the song again on Album 1700, their 1969 effort. It turned out to be their biggest (and final) hit.

Country group The Kendalls also recorded a cover of the song, which entered the U.S. country singles top-fifty in 1970.

A cover by Chantal Kreviazuk was used in the 1998 film Armageddon and became an international hit. A more jazzy version by Jimmy Coup previously served as the theme song for the first season of A&E's Airline Television Program.

A version of the song by Sophie Barker was used in advertisements for British Airways, despite the fact that John Denver died in a plane crash.

An Internet search on that song will often show that the performers are Jefferson Airplane or Jefferson Starship. This is wrong. The band never played that song or recorded it. Usually it is the version from Peter, Paul and Mary.

list a demo. do not basically throw it mutually, really sit and get each and every thing precisely the way you opt for it to sound to different individuals. list labels do not opt for to waste funds on something that would not sound solid and in case you experience comfortable handing an govt a run-of-the-mill, sub-par demo, you shouldn't actually have stricken starting off a band. Write your songs not basically for your self, yet for different individuals. music (in all varieties) is a appearing artwork. study the bands you want and ask your self why human beings hear to them. Is is because the songs are catchy? Is it because they are technically concepts blowing? possibly that's in order that different that that's desirable? genuinely commence a music myspace and deliver FRs to all of your individuals and acquaintinces (even human beings you received't get alongside with). Make the web page seem specialist and exciting. human beings do not recognize how severe you're so that you would possibly want to seem severe from the first look. you may also commence a fb or bandcamp web page. Getting your call out domestically is really major, so placed up fliers round city promotion your band and your myspace and all that stuff. Make those seem solid too.

This isn't really reflecting on the time you've been there, but it's an amazing song about having to leave and go away from home for awhile. It's one of my favorites. Check it out!!

Faktion- Who I Am (hear it at http://www.myspace.com/faktionmerch )

Lyrics: Staring out the window as the world goes by
The hours pass too slow
Thinking back to the time before when this dream
was just a vision in my mind
I hate the fact that I have to leave
But I know if I don’t I never will
It’s time to move on, I have to move on

Chorus:
I know I’m not prepared
for a life that keeps me far from home
But I know if I just sit there, I’ll never find out who I am

Staring out the window, a whole new world’s outside
I’m waiting by the phone
I need to hear a familiar voice,
encouragement to get me through this ride
I hate the fact that I had to leave
But I know if I don’t I never will
It’s time to move on, I have to move on

Repeat Chorus

Everything is different
I’m seeing things that I’ve never seen before
So different

I know I’m not prepared
for a life that keeps me far from home
I know if I just sit there, I’ll never find me
I know I'm not prepared
for a life that keeps me far from home
I know I'm happy here

I finally found out who I am
