Workout Song of the Day: “Alive and Kicking” by Simple Minds

Just a quick post this afternoon. I am holed up in the flat recovering from my various stupidity-induced (i.e. overuse) injuries. I miss the pool. I miss all the food!

I’ve been looking for some music to cheer me up, and in doing so I came across one of my favorite songs for getting hard. It may sound cheesy (because it is), but I used to start every weightlifting session with this song, back when I used the gym. It also turns out to be the perfect song to recover to. And who couldn’t be cheered up by these icons of the 80’s?

What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
Whats it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Whos got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Whos gonna save you?
Alive and kicking
