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?
