The rock music group The Cars had a 1979 hit song titled "Let's Go" that has, for a long time, been popular-inspirational running music — fast and fun to have stuck in one's head during a long race. See, for example, JFK 50 Mile Run 2006 and other reports here.
But now a 2012 electronic dance song with the same name is on my short-list of favorites: "Let's Go" by Calvin Harris. The catchy lyrics are a present-moment Zen reminder not to look back, including:
... Let's go! Right now is where you shine I'm talking here and now I'm talking here and now It's not about what you've done It's about what you doing It's all about where you going No matter where you've been Let's go! ... |
It's on heavy rotation at BPM, as well as in my mind.
