Lately I've really been into Metallica's new album Death Magnetic. Especially the lyrics from
Broken, Beat & Scarred...particularly appropriate for working out I think.
You rise, you fall, you're down then you rise again
What don't kill ya' makes ya' more strong!
I've got 2 regular playlists on my iPod mostly consisting of the same or similar artists. A friend just put them on hers and called it "angry" music but said she really liked them while she was working out. LOL.
