Playlist Thursday: Valentine Edition by WildThingsRUNFree Facebook Posted in: Blog Posts in Running

Happy Valentines Day, y’all! Personally, I find the day silly and even in past years where I’ve been in a relationship on the holiday, I’ve never really celebrated in any sort of big way. If you have someone in your life that you love, show them every single day!! :) However, with that being said why not embrace the romanticism of the day?

So When Pavement Runner selected this week’s Playlist Thursday to be a “random” theme, I automatically picked “love” songs. I just had to! ;)

New to Playlist Thursdays? Here’s how it works… Each week Pavement Runner comes up with a theme. Then all of us in the blogosphere put together a list of our favorite songs (I typically choose ones on my running playlists) that fall into the theme. Something Old (A song 5+ years old) Something Current (A Song released roughly within the last year) Something to Consider (A wild card. You get to pick!)

As I said this week I chose “Love Songs” for my random theme….I may not “celebrate” Val Day or even be in a relationship but I can still appreciate (and adore) a good romantic.

SOMETHING OLD: 

Artist: Bright Eyes

Title: The First Day Of My Life

Side Note: I typically try to stick to songs that you can run to… This doesn’t really scream “run hard” but, this is hands down the first song I think of when I think of love songs. I love it! It was going to be the song I walked down the aisle to.. I still adore it. It doesn’t taint it one bit :)

Quotable: Yours is the first face that I saw. I think I was blind before I met you. & i don’t know where I am, don’t know where I’ve been but I know where I want to go. 

SOMETHING CURRENT

Artist: Beyonce

Title: Countdown

Side Note: I have a fun Beyonce themed workout coming for y’all tomorrow! ;) However relating to this song… Such a fun, toe tapping, can’t help sing the lyrics the next time you hear it, fun little jam! :)

Quotable: “Give it all to him, meet him at the finish line” AND “Ladies, if you love your man show him you the fliest”

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER

Artist: Wolfmother

Title: Vegabond

Side Note: 500 Days of Summer anyone? Oh Joseph Gordon Levitt. You are such a beautiful piece of man. swoon. Anyway, moving on…. I adore this song. It’s one that I can find myself putting on repeat for hours without even realizing. Why? I’m not entirely sure.. I think it’s that great tap your foot beat.

Quotable: Cause I’ll tell you everything about living free

HAPPY FOREVER ALONE DAY. jkjk.! ;)

Have any romantic plans today or this weekend?
What are YOUR favorite love songs?
