Running Songs that Rock

By Amanda • March 5, 2016 • Music

Want a playlist with running songs that rock? This one’s for you.

We have a list you can rock out to while you run, with no dance club music. There’s not a single shout-out to the DJ. No rappers saying their own names. No need to wonder what’s wrong with that Drake guy.

 

Bikini Kill -Rebel Girl


 
That girl thinks she’s the queen of the neighborhood
She’s got the hottest trike in town
That girl she holds her head up so high
I think I want to be her best friend, yeah

 

The Black Keys – Lonely Boy


 
Well I’m so above you, and it’s plain to see
But I came to love you anyway
So you pulled my heart out
And I don’t mind bleeding
Any old time you keep me waiting
Waiting, waiting

 

The Kooks – Stormy Weather


 
Yes I like stormy weather
From my window
You ain’t, yeah, you ain’t so clever
You got it all made up

 

Beck – Dreams


 
Here we are (oh oh oh)
Running circles, around around around around
When nothing’s right, just close your eyes
Close your eyes and you’re gone

 

A Place to Bury Strangers – Straight


 
Don’t wanna lose a moment, what I got to lose?
 

King Tuff – Black Moon Spell


 
When your heart starts beating,
Baby you’ll be dreamin
Baby you’ll be dreamin
In a black moon spell

 

Tame Impala – Elephant


 
He pulled the mirrors off his Cadillac (yeah)
‘Cause he doesn’t like it looking like he looks back

 

Said The Whale – I Love You


 
When I learned that I had a brother
I made up a dance for you
We’d be crime fighters together
and do things that brothers do

 

Fratellis – Chelsea Dagger


 
Someone said you was asking after me
But I know you best as a blagger
I said tell me your name is it sweet?
She said my boy it’s Dagger oh yeah

 

The Rapture – Echoes

 

 
The city breathing
The people churning
The conversating
The price is – WHAT?

 

DIIV – Doused


 
Never had you run so far but you really gotta get away
You know it in the nighttime running to it
Caught a rising star but then you let it drop into
The ocean now the water’s running through it
