    Starlight

    So lately I’ve been running every second day and am very proud that I have been keeping up with it, thus far! However, it’s kind of ridiculous how much time I spend thinking about what music will actually be able to motivate me to do something out of the ordinary. What I meant is, trying to master the art of making a good relationship.

    I have one song that will always, without fail, motivate me to keep going, and for it I am grateful. This beloved, glorious song is Starlight, by Muse and it is now on my video playlist!

    Well, story time! A year ago, I got into a big fight with someone, but I can’t remember who. Probably my her. Or my her friend. Anyways, I distinctly remember blasting this song through my itty-bitty iPod while I walked across the road, through the drizzly rain, on my way home from school. Starlight instantly made me feel better because it was so epic and intense, not to mention the fact that I could relate to the lyrics.

    “This ship is taking me far away
    Far away from the memories
    Of the people who care if I live or die.”

    I just wanted to get away from the people close to me, one of whom was clearly pissing me off, and have a totally fresh start. However, later in the song, the narrator says:

    “Hold you in my arms
    I just wanted to
    Hold you in my arms,”

    as if to say that he or she doesn’t want to leave someone behind.* In sum, this song makes me feel validated for being angry, while replacing my anger with hope and positivity, and motivates me to keep pushing myself during any given workout. It THE BEST song for me to run to, but I only allow myself to resort to it when no other song will do, because I don’t want to overuse it and make it ineffective for its main purpose.

    I try to create playlists of songs that have a fast tempo, or which have lyrics that motivate me. My mood is always different when I go running so I’m going to try a new thing and make “Happy Running”, “Sad Running”, and “Mad Running” playlists based on the mood of different songs. I will let you know how this works out for me.

    *Bear in mind, my interpretation of this song could and probably is completely off base.
