walk of life

Now that spring has finally arrived, I can start my exercise routine.  This includes power walking in the parks of this city.  Sometimes, I listen to my Zune, but that can be a little unwieldy.  So more often than not, I just sing.  I used to swan around town in suburbia singing to myself and people thought I was just crazy.  But in NYC, nobody blinks.  I am very musically inclined, and I have a massive jukebox lodged in my brain.   Now, certain songs are more suitable than others for my aerobic excursions.   A simple, strong melody with an uplifting message can help motivate me to keep on movin’.  I would imagine that this tune would sound great as you are driving down the freeway in a convertible with the top down.  But since I am a pedestrian, I’ll make do with a walkabout.  There is a certain upbeat quality about this track that never fails to get me going.  It has the blue-eyed soul flavor that reminds me of a classic Swing Out Sister single.   So thank you, Mel C. for giving me the strength to continue.
