11. "Run Like Hell" by Pink Floyd
I had this song play on my earphones at the beginning of my last Top of Utah Marathon. It was surreal to have it play as thousands of people in front and behind me all ran together. This song reminds me of that moment of total euphoria in a marathon run when your energy level is at its highest and you're running without feeling tired at all (something that changes about two minutes after the song is over).
The song also reminds me of the time when Randy laughed hard after singing these lyrics.
You better run all day and run all night
And keep your dirty feelings deep inside.
And if you're takin' your girlfriend out tonight
You better park the car well out of sight,
'Cos if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks,
They're gonna send you back to mother in a cardboard box.
You better run!
So with great memories of both marathon running and of Randy, this song almost made it into my top ten.
Almost.
