The 2013 Songlist

Keeping the tradition of an annual soundtrack, here's the 2013 Songlist.

It Just Comes Natural by George Strait "What I was born to do; Don't have to think it through". Maybe an odd one considering the tone and speed (and that I have Flo Rida and Gaga coming up later!), but this one just says it all and I had it in my head all summer.

Keep Pushing by REO Speedwagon "Keep pushing, even if you think your strength is gone". The song of the Potawatomi Race, heard it in the pre-race music.

Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO "Everyday I'm shuffling". Everyday I'm RUNNING! I was shocked when I read the lyrics of this song, never really listened to it for lyrics!

Just Dance by Lady Gaga "I can't remember but it's alright, I'm alright. Just dance." This one ended up on the list after I heard it on the way to a run at Castlewood, then again on the way home. Says it all, just run. With all the hypoglycemic thoughts and cardio-brained moments I have, this song fits right in.

Cruise by Florida Georgia Line "Baby you're a song, you make me wanna roll my windows down, and cruise". Ah, finally getting some good riding in. This was Frea's song for 2013.

Sweet Child Of Mine by Guns N Roses "She's got eyes of the bluest skies, as if they thought of rain". Overhead from the headphones of another runner on a Chubb run with TV, got stuck in my head, and I probably became an annoying trail partner by singing it outloud and by trying to guess which Alvin & The Chipmunks song he had in his.

Have A Nice Day by Bon Jovi "Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice; Standing on the edge I'll show the wind how to fly". The Song of the the MT50! I had wanted to get red compression socks that I could mark with the smirk, but I'm cheap so I didn't.

Good Feeling by Flo Rida "Got adrenaline, never giving in; Giving up's not an option, gotta get it in". I heard this on the way home from the MT50. At first I though it was Have A Nice Day, but to my surprise it was a song that foretold my 100 miler!?!?! "Stronger than ever, can't hold me down; A hundred miles gunnin' from the pitcher's mound". 

Royals by Lorde "We're bigger than we ever dreamed, and I'm in love with being Queen". Suggested by LC and JF as a theme song for me :)

Monster by Eminem "Seize the moment and don't squander it; 'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow". Many many lines from this song, pretty much all of them hit on the OCD tendencies we have! But I hit a low in my 5 weeks of recovery, became even better friends with some monsters before kicking them out for good.

It's My Life by Bon Jovi "Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down". In response to someone asking me, "Is what you're doing healthy?". I won't get all negative on this voice, except to tell them to STFU and live their own life. (A lesson I could learn from too).
