It’s Monday! Which means it must be time for Motivational Music Monday at 50 in 50 Marathon Quest! Pop on over and say “hey!” to James! Be sure to let him know your favorite song for this week! He’s in the process of building his Spotify Playlist, and believe you me, it needs some additions! 😉
I’ve been having a great time with the group One Republic just recently. They’re one of those bands that just can’t go wrong with me. Their music hits my soul as do the lyrics. While Stop and Stare is actually stuck in my head at this particular time, I felt maybe Counting Stars was just a bit more upbeat, something one could trot along nicely to, not to mention the words are something that hit home with me…
I see this life, like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And in my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye’ shall find
Old, but I’m not that old
Young, but I’m not that bold
And I don’t think the world is sold
On just doing what we’re told
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I couldn’t lie, couldn’t lie, couldn’t lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Have a fabulous day!!
That’s one of those songs where I didn’t know the title or the band but I everytime I hear it I’m like that’s a song I want to workout to!!!

On the subject of Stars, an upbeat and different sound for Coldplay is “Sky Full of Stars.” This song never fails to energize me and put me in a great mood. Rock on, Paula!
