I rounded out this week of cold, winter running by listening to Bruce Springsteen’s, Devils & Dust album from 2005. He is one our great American storytellers. For all you millennials out there, if you want a glimpse of what life was like right before the age of internet and cell phones, before mass terrorism and shootings, in a little simpler time, then listen to his music and stories. It wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine; his music is rarely that, but it is pure and simple. Bruce Springsteen has an interesting biography that you can look up, which has shaped him from his childhood, his religion and his struggles […]

This one seemed fitting to listen to for a rainy Monday jog: Norah Jones, Come Away with Me, 2008 (song: Shoot the Moon). It is February, in the dead middle of winter, and I am anxiously awaiting for some sign of spring to appear. It is easy to let things pile up during the winter – the worries and weight of it all.

This was now more my pace, and I think I found myself in that little piece of time. I decided to hang here awhile, and continued this week with Kenny Chesney’s Hemingway’s Whiskey, from the more recent 2010. Ahhh… […]

For today’s running CD, I needed something with a little vigor for a rainy Winter’s Monday. This is from a little-known obscure group called Travis: The Invisible Band, and a song called “Sing” from 2001. I first heard this song from the outdoor speakers of the ski slopes in Steamboat Springs, CO. The rush of skiing down the mountain, snow blowing in your face, and being up close to some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world will make you want to… well, sing! I didn’t include the video with this song because it’s better to listen to it with […]
