Packing your life into cardboard boxes and disassembling furniture to be shipped off by removalists interstate Melbourne can be a daunting task requiring much motivation. To help combat the moving blues, we’ve come up with a list of Top 5 Moving Songs. A great packing song is something you can sing along to with an even balance of fun and melancholy:
1. Keep On Moving - Five
It’s fun, it’s easy to get the words right, and we’re working up a toe tap just thinking about it! This song is bursting with energy and whenever you suspect a tingle of nerves or start to feel sad about leaving a place you love, this 90s classic will have the excitement bubbling over again faster than you can say, “Get on up, when you’re down!”
2. Moving Out – Billie Joel
It’s an oldie but a goodie. It has an up-beat but melancholic tone, which is perfect for packing and reminiscing about all the good times you had in your old house. It’s great for belting out a few lyrics to, and because the tone is happy it will maintain the excitement for the move ahead.
3. To Build A Home – The Cinematic Orchestra
Change up the tempo here with a much more nostalgic and wistful tune. Get the photos ready; you’ll want some time for quiet reflection. Invite your friends around and reminisce about bygone times of fun and frivolity. It’s a beautiful song and a good opportunity to belt out a few lines. The notion of building a home with someone is an appropriate theme for the move.
4. I Like to Move It – Reel 2 Real
Who doesn’t love a bit of a boogie to this one? It is fun to move and groove to and you can just imagine little lemurs running around everywhere *Madagascar Movie Reference*. This song keeps the vibe upbeat and happy, helping you approach the relocation with a light-hearted outlook. And if you’ve still got the TV connected, the 1994 video clip is an entertaining flashback.
5. Lost – Frank Ocean
You can’t go past that dulcet voice and catchy chorus. This song has some funky beats making it easy to sing along. It creates a good atmosphere and is great to work with while moving your feet (*not recommended for carrying heavy items). We also like the relevance of being “lost in the thrill of it all,” which can be a reminder to ground yourself as well as enjoy the journey of moving house.
When you listen to these songs in the future, you’ll be taken back to the time you spent planning your move and packing your belongings to travel with removalists interstate Melbourne. Stay tuned for the sequel series, “Best Driving Songs for an Interstate Relocation”.
