This week we are taking a peek in to my playlist and sharing some secrets that one might not want to admit. This was a theme suggestion from Andie, alittleheartandsole.com. You know, the songs that we might not admit to everyone that exist on our playlist, but we love them anyways.
We can keep this a secret between me and you, right? Ok. Let’s continue then.
Something Old: Songs that are at least 5 years old. (I know that isn’t too long to be considered old, but music turnover happens quickly.)
Something Current: Songs that have been released within the past year.
Something to Consider: This is the wild card category. Feel free to list any song: old, current, guilty pleasure, underground, whatever.
Something Old
Artist: Tokio Hotel
Title: Scream (2008)
Side Note: Had no idea who this band was until I saw them on Saturday Night Live. This song was cool, album wasn’t all that great, but I paid a couple bucks for it at a Rasputins, a used CD store (seriously great place to find music on the cheap). This song isn’t a staple on my playlist, but I’ll include it on longer runs to mix it up.
Quotable: “SCREAM ’til you feel it. SCREAM ’til you believe it”
Something Current
Artist: Lady Gaga
Title: The Edge of Glory (2011)
Side Note: This song is a couple of years old. Please forgive me for placing it in the CURRENT, but Gaga is still relevant today so she gets dropped here. This song (admittedly) does get put on and off my playlist. I have a love/hate relationship with it. I like the sound of it and being on “edge of glory” describes running so well, specifically the marathon.
Quotable: “I’m gonna run right to, to the edge with you.”
Something to Consider
Artist: Glee
Title: Light Up The World (2011)
Side Note: You got me. Total #GLEEk. But this one is different. This isn’t a cover, it’s an original song from the Glee Cast (2011). I always want to delete it from my playlist, but I can never “pull the trigger.” It’s meant to be and it really does pick up my pace. Plus it’s fun to get the visuals of which cast member is singing which part.
Quotable: Artie: “lay it all down” Brittany:“throw your doubt away” Artie: “do or die now”

I love me some Gaga. Most of my guilty pleasure songs are really bad Polish pop boy bands. If you want a taste type Disco Polo into youtube, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. ;)
Oh my, I have never watched Glee and Lady Gaga is not for me at all. I think my guilty pleasure would be bubble gum music… ya know.. The Archies… Sugar Sugar!!
I have a confession to make: I have never seen a single episode of glee
Love the Gaga song, it is one if my power running songs….
The first never heard about but anyways lve me some gaga
i was hoping to see Call Me Maybe on here for your guilty pleasures…. or anything by JB lol
Ummmmm so this categorizes my ENTIRE ipod! Its all sugary sweet girlie pop! That is so bad its good!
I love glee! especially when running!
I like that Lady Gaga song, I will admit! Not so sure on the Tokio Hotel one…
Glee…used to love it and then stopped watching and haven’t gone back. No real reason for it, but I’m sure I’d be lost now!
Love Glee and Gaga. I’m mixed about this season. Not sure if they’ve jumped the shark? Regardless, still love the songs.
I have to say, for once, I do not have any of these songs on my playlist. I haven’t heard of the first, Gaga is super played out for me (at least her singles) and Glee jumped the shark for me awhile ago!
BUT if I ran longer distances like you do I would probably have to add some of these in, right now I have enough music for my shorter mileage.
The Clarence Clemons sax solo is killer in Edge of Glory!
I’m a total Gleek too. And have no shame. :)
Love me some GAGA! :)
Initially I wouldn’t have pegged you for a Glee guy, but knowing you a little better it doesn’t surprise me. And I’m totally saying this in a good way =)
Love me some Gaga! She is amazing. I’m a total Gleek but my thoughts on this season are kind of wishy washy. I will say Finn is looking H.o.t. This season :) I’m sure you were curious about that ;)
