Do you love music??? Good music is a requirement for any of my workouts or runs. I'll be sharing some of my go-to songs with you on this blog.
Today's theme is "love." Love is my favorite word in the English language. Of course, there are many other songs that could be added here but my goal is to give you just a couple so you really take note and hopefully listen to them. (I know my songs won't be everyone's taste, but they are songs that are currently on my workout iPod. )
First up, I have to give props to Jason Mraz's new album "YES!" It is one of the strongest albums I've heard come out this year. Well-crafted and well-rounded. I fell in love with MR. AZ all the way back when "The Remedy" came out ... (which is still on my iPod). He has since grown in popularity and "I'm Yours" makes me smile and think of Hawaii when I listen to it.
His new album starts with an instrumental track called "Rise," which is very short and full of serene sounds. "Rise" leads directly into "Love Someone," which is a song about ... you guessed it ... love!!! It's pretty upbeat and has one of my favorite lines. "When you love someone, it comes back to you." I truly believe in that!!!
Next up is one of favorite bands, Mumford & Sons. I'll probably post more songs on here from them. I love all their albums and listen to them all the time, especially on long trips. This song is the first track off their album with the same title, "Sigh No More." It starts slow, but then the beat picks up about half way through. This is usually the first song I listen to on a run. It lets my mind focus, but then inspires me to go for it when it gets to the upbeat section.
It has another one of my favorite quotes of all time.
Take a listen! I hope you feel UPLIFTED after hearing these songs! :-)
