Top 10 Songs for Backpackers

Composed nearly a year ago, “Song of Youth” has almost become an anthem for the adventurous youth with a passion for backpacking. The lyrics perfectly capture the desires and fiery passion of young people who long to pack their bags and explore every corner of Vietnam. The song also reflects the joy and excitement of traveling with friends, as they embark on long journeys together.

"This youth, we share together
Arms around each other, from morning till night
Sing like we’ve never sung before
Happy today, who knows about tomorrow."

Hà Okio, one of the few musicians with a deep passion for backpacking and discovering the beautiful landscapes of the country, composed the song "That Place" during a trip back to Hà Giang, a place filled with unforgettable memories that always leaves him longing for it.

Each image, each road, every face he encountered and passed by evoked warm, nostalgic feelings. This song evokes emotions for many, especially for travelers, who feel a deep yearning for the places they've visited, inspiring them to plan their next journey to return as soon as possible.

The late musician Trần Lập, the elder brother of Vietnam's Rock community, always carried an unending passion for travel and exploration. During his life, his trips became the dream of every backpacker. Inspired by his journeys, Trần Lập wrote this song as a summary of his long, adventurous life.

These were not just carefree trips, but the journey of a lifetime. "For life is made of long journeys, long dreams." The music video for the song was created with his close friends, who shared his passion and had accompanied him on many previous trips.

Another song by the late musician Trần Lập, titled "Coming Home," serves as a heartfelt letter filled with the thoughts and emotions Trần Lập wished to share with the youth of Vietnam. In contrast to the bold, passionate tone of "Long Journeys," "Coming Home" is softer, like a beautiful conclusion after each journey. Home is the place to return to, where daily life must continue.

Therefore, after every adventure, always remember to return to the familiar, to the things that are with you every day. Leave everything behind and return to a meal with family, to the arms of friends. "Come back to a fragrant cup of tea, to the warm glow of the fire."
