U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name

I love listening to good music to put me into the right mindset. At the early parts of my comeback in 2010, my favorite tunes were The Temper Trap’s “Sweet Disposition” and The Killers’ “All These Things That I’ve Done.” In 2011, Paramore’s “All We Know” jump-started my oft-solitary training sessions.

While at the Ayala MRT station a few weeks back, I heard snippets of a familiar line: “I want to reach out and touch the flame, where the streets have no name.” The song was none other than U2′s “Where The Streets Have No Name.”

Shrugging off the humidity-induced discomfort, I felt an instant jolt of energy. The song’s upbeat tempo and uplifting aura made me want to change into my track clothes and sprint/hurdle all the way to Ultra!
