We’ve all felt it. You know that one moment when everything falls perfectly into place and a song comes on that you wish you could build a montage to? That’s what I like to call a Tunnel Song.
For those of you who don’t know what I’m referring to, a Tunnel Song refers to a scene in Stephen Chbosky’s “Perks of Being A Wallflower.” Charlie and his friends are driving through a tunnel that leads to the city while a montage song plays (Heroes by David Bowie) that makes them feel “infinite.” Those flawless moments happen rarely in life, but if you find just the right song, sometimes you can re-create it, windows down on your drive home from campus.
My personal Tunnel Song consists of You by The 1975. If you don’t have a Tunnel Song quite yet, I’ve composed a playlist of possible candidates for you. I strongly encourage you to have a listen! You can listen to the Spotify playlist by clicking here!
