Best Running Song for March - Youngblood Hawke - We Come Running



Geez, barely getting this one in before the wire...

Once in a while, you get a song that combines snappy running tunes with catchy running lyrics - and here I present "We Come Running" by Youngblood Hawke. I mean the chorus repeats the line "we come running." What do you want from me!?!

Anyway, this is a poppy little tune from a sunny L.A. band that, and I hate to say it, probably has "one hit wonder" written all over them. Still, it's a good tune. It definitely gets caught in your head - you'll probably be singing it for the rest of the day.

Speaking of catchy tunes with great running lyrics, check out Paolo Nutini with "New Shoes."



Just like Paolo, there's nothing that can improve my mood like putting on a brand new pair of running shoes! And I imagine the line "I'm short on money, but long on time," applies to plenty of runners as well.

Rock that run!
