Music Motivates

and recently I was intrigued by a post from a friend on FB who was asking for running motivating songs.  Then, to bring it all together a fellow SPA (sweat pink ambassador) decided to do a link up of blog posts with some of your favorite motivating songs on your playlist.  Now, the thing about my playlist is that the majority of it is Christian- out of the 58 songs on my playlist (titled half marathon) about 16 of them are "secular".  And each one of those 16 are there for a reason- there is something about them that makes them meaningful and a MUST for my playlist- they are the ones that are there to remind me of why I am doing this.  So, without further adieu my list of 10's :)

My Top 10 newly added songs (in no particular order)
1. You'll Never Be Alone by Capital Kings
2. Up Around the Bend- CCR (I watched Remember the Titans over spring break and realized I needed some of THAT music on my list)
3. King of the Comebacks- Audio Adrenaline (great message- and a good beat)
4. I Climb the Mountain-Audio Adrenaline (a slower one but just some good thoughts to have when I am running)
5. Human- Manafest
6. He Moves You Move- Audio Adrenaline (yes, I am liking their new album)
7. Where My Heart Goes- Colton Dixon (another one I am liking- reminds me of why I run)
8. Unstoppable- tobyMac (yeah, a good one to get moving to)
9. It's a Beautiful Day- Michael Buble' (yes, I know this is an odd one to have on a running list but it's a "happy" song)
10. Incorruptible- Beckah Shae (she is not a well known artist but she has some good "moving" music and this song- WOW- so much so- that I am linking the video) :)




My Top 10 "oldies but goodies" (In no particular order)
1. We Are Never Getting Back Together- Taylor Swift (yes, I know but the beat is just a fun one)
2. Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield (just a reminder that each day is a blank canvas)
3. Walk on the Water- Britt Nicole (again, love the message of this one)
4. Brand New Book- Train (this was one of the theme songs from The Biggest Loser- love the message here too)
5. Eye on It- Toby Mac- (this is a newer song but has been on my playlist for a while- it's a GREAT running song with a GREAT running message)
6. Happy by Ayiesha Woods (the title says it all)
7. I Will Follow- Chris Tomlin (just my reminder of why I am doing this journey)
8. It's My Life- Bon Jovi (it's now or never :) LOL )
9. Who Says You can't go home- Bon Jovi
10. Fight Another Day- Addison Road (this is another one that may seem odd but it's meaningful)

So- my question for you- what songs are on YOUR playlist?
