LA to New York - In 4 minutes Flat

No, it's not the latest scramjet technology, souped up for near-lightspeed travel.

Rather, it's a trip you can make from the comfort of your very own chair and computer screen.

Lacquer, a French musician, used a video of a cross-country car trip to lend imagery to his song, "Behind."

You can watch it - and listen if you like - right here.

The movie was shot from a camera mounted behind the driver and facing directly forward.

It was made in real time over eight days and seven nights, then compressed to its final four minute video version.

The camera was never off for more than five minutes at a time.

Of note is the transit through Las Vegas, which is unmistakeable, and through the Rocky Mountains.

You see the car's convertible top raised and lowered several times when it rains, along with a stop at car wash.

The trip ends in New York's Times Square.
