My Music Monday

It is stuff off my running playlist - mostly for races. Sometimes for the treadmill, which I'll be using this week as we are in the mid to upper 90s for the foreseeable future. 

My current playlist goes from 1978 up through 2025. Granted, the 90s (the year. not the temp) are a little sparse, but that's what happens when you have some iffy generated music. 

Today's selection, Depeche Mode's "a Question of Time" dates back to 1986 from possibly their best album, Black Celebration. 

Just going by the beat of the song, you can see why and how someone (me) might run to it. One has to strategically place the tune in a certain order to achieve that kind of pace to go with the song. For me, it's about two-thirds of the way in, when my energy might start to wane. It's a good pick-me-up. 

I do kind of cringe at the lyric "Well you're only 15 / but you look good" .....as sung by an adult male. It's just.......wrong.  But other than that, it has been a staple in my music catalog for almost 40 years.
