In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, I searched for an appropriate song to play this Saturday.  I wanted to find a song of hope, tribute and strength with enough respect to those affected by this awful tragedy.

I chose “Forgotten Years” by Midnight Oil because of the fighting spirit laced within the song.  This is one of my favorite running songs because of the sense of determination and strength I find through the music and lyrics.  Although all of the lyrics do not apply to the Boston Marathon event, I do think that that “these should not be forgotten years” definitely applies.
