ORANGE Music Roundup: Best Nighttime Driving Tracks

September 28, 2015

If you want a glimpse into a person’s psyche, just see what they listen to when they’re driving at night. A car is one of the most intimate places to enjoy music: it’s a judgment-free zone, where volume control and so-called “coolness” cease to matter.

It’s no secret that countless songs have been inspired by breakups, and often go on to become some of the artists’ biggest hits. It almost seems unfair — and maybe even voyeuristic — that we, anonymous listeners, could have such a personal glimpse into their personal lives. But if the process is cathartic and they’re willing to share these songs, we might as well enjoy. And somedays, we may be the ones who need them.
