When This Song Comes On The Radio, I Will Listen To It In Its Entirety... No Matter What.

"Born To Run" is a masterpiece. It cannot be denied. It must not.

Whilst driving to my writing session this afternoon, it came on the radio, and it suddenly hit me: "I would literally not turn this song off for anything. Even if I arrive at my destination in the next five seconds, I will sit in my car until the song finishes."

I don't care what you think about The Boss, "Born To Run" is a modern Epic. It's our Iliad. Pure poetry. American lyricism at its finest. (Too much?)

So, I turn the question to you. What song would you sit in your car for? What song so captures your driving self that it becomes more important than getting to that meeting on time?


Let me know.

"Together, Wendy, we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday, girl I don't know when, we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun
But 'till then tramps like us, baby, we were born to run"
