Songs about long distance relationships?

[tectactoe]

Preferrably GOOD (rather, happy) songs, but I guess any will do. Usually I do alright thinking up my own mixtapes, but I can't seem to think of nearly enough songs to fill up a CD about long distance.

Here's all I've got so far:

Death Cab - Transatlanticism
Incubus - I Miss You (not nec. about long distance, but it could possibly fit)
Yellowcard - Miles Apart
Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah (obvious choice, I'd like to toss this if I could get enough other ones)

Thanks guys and gals.

[allenthomson]

first of all, whatever you do do NOT put hey there delilah on that tape it is most cliché song to put on a long distance mix tape.

some good tracks to put on that kind of tape and this is speaking from making many a long distance mix tape.

Saves The Day- Third Engine
Neutral Milk Hotel- In The Aeroplane Over the Sea
Piebald- Strangers
Saves The Day- Hold
Dashboard Confessional- Living in Your Letters
The Starting Line- Stay Right Where i Can See You
Wilco- Red Eyed and Blue
WIlco- Far Far Away
The Starting Line- The Drama Summer
Weezer- Across The Sea
Bright Eyes- First Day of My Life
City and Colour- Comin Home

Thats a few but i encourage you to please take your time with that tape, mix tapes are a delicate and very personal thing.

good luck

This one is very direct, spot on topic (as in pro-ldr and about ldrs at the same time), and epic. Tell me what you think. =D

Time to toss Hey There Delilah, yes? Also, get me your final mix. I'm in an ldr right now and I think this would make a cool addition to my library.

Haha yeah, don't worry guys. I really wasn't going to put HTD on the mix, but it was really one of the only long distance songs that came to my mind. I can't believe I forgot about Third Engine. And this song is really really good, I like it! :D

Thanks for all the suggestions, please keep them coming. I'll post the mix when I make it, but it doesn't have to be done until late-July early-August, so I've got some time to perfect it!

Great song. Love the chorus:

"The closest thing to me at heart
Is the furthest thing away to touch
And all these undeservers take for granted
What we deserve so much"

Michael Buble - Haven't Met You Yet (some of the lyrics kind of work, very upbeat song)

Incubus - Wish You Were Here

Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles

The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM0sTNtWDiI)

Sara Bareilles - Many the Miles

John Denver - Leaving on a Jet Plane (a bit sad)

3 Doors Down - Here Without You (bit of a downer)

Hellogoodbye - Bonnie Taylor Shakedown

The Spill Canvas - Teleport A and B
My faith in you could move these mountains I am driving through
It's times like these when I wish I could teleport to you
'cause then we wouldn't have an issue
We're cleverly, strategically
Challenging our fright and insecurities
And never seem to want to leave

[DylanPPPP]

From First To Last - Emily

"Smiles and her laughter
It's the only think that I've been waiting for
A time
Regardless of our distance and her home
Cause we're
Trapped by pretty eyes and letters for
A time
The only thing that I've been waiting for

I hope it's something worth the waiting
Cause it's the only time that I ever feel real
And Thunderstorms could never stop me
Cause there's no one in the world like Emily"

[Clockwork00]

Seeing this made me realize that it's been way too long since I listened to this album. Time to fix that.

Enjoy crying yourself to sleep.

Also, it was great seeing Rookie of the Year - Sooner Or Later in this thread. Beautiful song.

Into It. Over It. - Logan Sq
But while you've been gone, I've been returning at all hours of the night.
While you've been gone, I've been crossing fingers that you have a nice flight back home.

[josiebaby09]

missing you - tyler hilton ... kind of more about breaking up, but when i was in a long distance relationship, it made me cry like a baby.
