#100: "Run" - Snow Patrol

This song was a song doomed from the get go. It was just too much of an anthem for it's own good and was destined to fall into the hands of teenage lovers and college radio dj's.

but I knew it had to make the list, because like most of the songs that you'll see in this list,
every single time I listen to this song, I have a movie projected in my head (which might be why I was a little let down by the actual music video)

so I guess this one is for all the anthem songs that fell into the wrong hands in the record shops and were overplayed in all the wrong places

and will now be forced to live forever as an embarrassing sign to all the girls that look through the track list of my ipod  and see that, at least one point in my life, I loved this song so much that I played it everyday as I drove myself to my shit job at the mall and back, thinking of how beautiful it would be if I could just say fuck it to everything and, well, run.

it probably also tells them that without a doubt, I will cry in any movie where the hero saves the world but loses the girl.
