The Bravery - Ours



Official Site: The Bravery
While I'm not a Twilight fan (even though I've read all four books in the series as a way to back up the fact that they're just crap), you can't deny how amazing the soundtracks have been. There's just no argument that SOMEONE involved in the Twilight machine actually knew what they were doing when they picked these songs/bands and plopped them onto the albums.
This song in particular is pretty important to yours truly.
During a car ride to the airport, my wife played it for me. Because we're both marathon runners and are always looking for good music to throw into our running playlists, this COMPLETELY fit the bill. For those that're going to sit there and chuck a big 'pshaw' in my direction and fold your arms? Just listen a moment.
Imagine that you're flying across the US. Imagine that when you started running marathons it was just you. Imagine that you inspired others to do something they thought was impossible. Imagine that only a couple of years later you inspired almost 30 people to run a marathon. Imagine that all these people were about to board a small army of planes to follow you across the US. Imagine that all these people joined each to run 13.1 miles to prove they could (one for the very first time). Imagine the memories of that event. Imagine this song as the soundtrack for those memories.
True story.
Enjoy.
