So, I will be walking for 35 days. To help keep me motivated (and my sanity) I’m making a few playlists to take on the walk.
I’m thinking about making 4 playlists to be used at different times and situations. Below are details with example songs (note: there are some oldies here, so I put links for the younger ones to enjoy 🙂 ):
Morning (Wake-up Music)
- “Beautiful Day“ by U2
- “Solsbury Hill” by Peter Gabriel
- “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay
- “Lovely Day“ by Bill Withers
- “Wake Me Up“ by Avicii
- “Happy“ by Pharrell Williams
- “Walkin’ On The Sun“ by Smash Mouth
Mid-Day (Higher Energy)
- “Pump It Up“ by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
- “Blister in the Sun“ by The Violent Femmes
- “Mirror In The Bathroom“ by The English Beat
- “Won’t Get Fooled Again“ by The Who (Live Version w/Keith Moon!))
- “La Grange“ by ZZ Top
- “Mexican Radio“ by Wall of Voodoo
- “Once in a Lifetime” by Talking Heads
- “I’m Gonna Be (I Would Walk 500 Miles)“ by The Proclaimers (You knew it was coming 🙂 )
Almost There (Slowing it down)
- “Enjoy The Silence“ by Depeche Mode
- “Everybody Wants to Rule the World“ by Tears for Fears
- “In A Big Country“ by Big Country
- “She Drives Me Crazy“ by Fine Young Cannibals
- “I Melt With You“ by Modern English
- “It’s My Life“ by Talk Talk
- “Don’t You Forget About Me“ by Simple Minds
- “Bitter Sweet Symphony” by The Verve
- “Under Pressure” by Queen & David Bowie
- “In the Air Tonight“ by Phil Collins
Play Only In Case of Emergency (Need to make the last couple of miles)
- “We Will Rock You“ by Queen
- “God Save The Queen“ by The Sex Pistols
- “Sabotage” by The Beastie Boys
- “Rebel Yell” by Billy Idol
