One time while were riding in the elevator in a really, really tall building one of our favorite jams came on the muzak, and we felt transported to a dark, light-dappled dance floor. We’re not sure the other people in the elevator were transported to quite the same place, and it became clear when the doors opened that we hadn’t arrived at a disco, but for those few minutes (it was a really tall building) the music took us on a beautiful journey. And the best music videos often add to that sense of musical transportation, leading us to stunning and strange places, like these 6 Music Videos About Journeys.

“Time for Nothing” by The Parisians (directed by Nicolas Davenel & Thomas Delebecque)

We love all things stop-motion. Plus we’re Parisian, so this is a beautiful trip around our hometown.

“It’s Okay” by Land of Talk (directed by WeWereMonkeys)

More of a metaphoric journey into the cosmos, this might the listicle’s most beautiful trip.

“Reunited” by Fan Death (directed by Dandilion Wind Opaine)

There are some road trip motifs here, but to be honest we don’t really have any clue what’s going on. Cool costumes though!

“Marrow” by St. Vincent (directed by Terri Timely)

Sure, it turns out that she never walked anywhere, but what’s the point of trying to follow music video logic anyway?

“Sometimes” by Miami Horror (Rhett Wade-Ferrell for MOOP JAW)

Alright, so there’s a big lull in the traveling towards the middle there, but the last leg of these two lovebirds’ journey, and where it takes them, is pretty spectacular.

Alternative video for “Strawberry Fields” by Coldplay (directed by Ross Neil and Matt Clark)

Maybe travel is an overstatement since this is more of a music video about commuting, but the imaginary journey is quite amazing.
