Music Monday: Turn The Page

This week's Music Monday is "Turn the Page" by Bob Seger.

Back in September I did a post here about a Bob Seger song that means a lot to me. In it I told the story of how I always wanted to go to his concert.

Well, just a couple weeks after I wrote that I got an email from Ticketmaster that said that he was playing in Memphis in December. This time I was going!

The concert was great. It was everything I expected it to be. He put on an awesome show. It was also really cool that my mom and my sister were there.

I seriously felt my dad's presence there with me. I had chills the whole concert. It really helped that there were a bunch of drunk people around me to keep me from freaking out that I was finally doing something that I have wanted to do since I was a kid.

This is a song that I love to listen to when I am on a long run. It is a song about him being a musician on the road. I kinda relate it to being on a long run.

Out there in the spotlight
You're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy
You try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body
Like the music that you play

The song talks about the things you struggle with on the road like thinking about the things going on in your life. When you are out on a long run that's pretty much all you can do is think.

But your thoughts will soon be wandering
The way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours
And there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin',
You just wish the trip was through

This song really expresses the mindset that you are out there grinding and pushing to do the thing you love. I suggest this as a song for anyone who runs to put on their playlist when they are out on longer runs by themselves.

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page

Enjoy!
