We’ve all heard the sayings: ‘music is what feeling sounds like’, or ‘music is the universal language…you get the drift. Unfortunately, music can’t pack and load your items into a moving truck for you. However, music can be a great motivator, which comes in pretty handy when you’re faced with moving all of your personal belongings to a new place. It was tough to narrow it down, but I’ve listed 25 tunes to help you get through your big move. Some of the songs are really about moving, and some just sound like it; others are about life in a specific place. Either way, they’re a fun way to keep your sanity during a hectic moving day. If you’re particular about your musical preferences, be forewarned: the list includes anything from 80’s gems and rock star anthems to pop favorites and country classics.
