The Moving Man Mega Mix

You’re not the Baltimore Colts, no need to fade quietly in the night. Well, unless legions of scorned women are conspiring to chase you to the city limits, then there might be some use for a little discretion. However, in most cases, moving should be a high energy experience, a bold proclamation that “I came; I saw; I conquered.” Looking back one final time over your shoulder at the empty space still housing memories, clenched fist held high in a quintessential victory pose, should feel like the final scene in an epic movie, cuing a power ballad as the credits roll. Which finally brings us to the point, every end to a great story needs an equally worthy soundtrack.So what jams should you crank as you pack, lift and hurl boxes around? In full disclosure, we aren’t accomplished cinematographers, but our best guess is that the sounds should somehow correlate to what’s happening on screen. In turn, you can answer your question with another question, simply by asking yourself “why am I moving?” Then use the chart below for appropriate song suggestions across all genres.Breakup

  • “Here I Go Again On My Own” Whitesnake (a great opener, closer or both)
  • “All My Friends Say” Luke Bryan
  • “Fck It” Eamon (obscene, impassioned and hilarious the triumvirate)
  • “Love You” Jack Ingram
  • “Designated Drinker” Alan Jackson (if you play along, let a friend drive the moving truck)
  • “Gone” Fuel
  • “Miss Me Baby” Chris Cagle
  • “Ho” Ludacris (short, sweet and to the point)
  • “All My Friends Say” Luke Bryan
  • “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It” Darius Rucker (assuming you did the deed)
  • “Beer” Reel Big Fish
  • “Hey Jealousy” Gin Blossoms (if there’s still chance for reconciliation)
