Great Songs With A Similar Theme...
In one of the various music threads, the song "Run" by Collective Soul was mentioned and it did my heart good to see how other people appreciate that cool tune, too. Love it!! It made me begin thinking about how many truly great songs are centered around the theme of running, so I compiled a list from the music on my computer. The fact it revolves around the word 'run' sorta ties it into baseball (yeah, that's a bit of a stretch), which is an added bonus (personal favorites are highlighted in blue)...
