Walk Away From Explosions To These Songs

Walk Away From Explosions To These Songs
comicvine.gamespot.com

Get ready. Today's the day you stride out of every building with a purpose. Did you just escape your arch-nemesis' lair, bow-tie still intact, suit without flaw? Did you win a Mexican Standoff and do the impossible? Did you liberate captives from a hostage situation? Did you just barely pass an exam? Put on your headphones and listen to this blood-pumping playlist; pretending to walk away from explosions is advised for full effect.

1. "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" by Most Non Heinous

No one wins in a Mexican Standoff. Well, except for Clint Eastwood, but the man is immortal, let's face it. Make your day and blare this song after a difficult victory! Feel the sun rising dramatically behind you as the biting desert winds swirl around your blackened silhouette. You've earned it, Tex.

2. The "Attack on Titan" Theme Song

Sind Sie das Essen oder sind Sie die Jäger? You don't have to be a fan of anime for this number to get you pumped. I've known several people who have this on their running playlist. Honestly, what will get you running faster? Pretending to get chased by zombies or giant man-eating titans?

3. The "Mission Impossible" Theme Song

Try ducking conspicuously around corners while mumbling this out loud in public. It also adds a bit of drama to sneaking in and out of the dorm at night. It's a classic hit sure to make even the simplest tasks more exciting — or humorous at the very least! Bonus points for a matching outfit.

4. "Duel of Fates" by John Williams (The Darth Maul Theme Song)

Before any big explosions happen, it's almost necessary to have a fight of epic proportions. The choir may very well be singing your requiem mass! Besides, only a Michael Bay movie can beat out "Star Wars" for explosions.

5. "Fury Road" Theme Song

Why run from and explosion when you can drive? Put the petal to the metal; floor it and drive like Hell's Hounds are on your very heels. Don't forget to shout, "Witness me!" so that no one will forget your glorious entry through the gates of Valhalla.

6. "Born To Be Wild" by Steppenwolf

Who hasn't wanted a slow-mo take of a leather-clad action hero walking away from an exploding vehicle, smoke rising heavy and black into the air, guns slung over shoulders or flicked into holsters, with this song's chorus playing over it all. "Born To Be Wild" was born for moments like this.

7. "Highway To Hell" by ACDC

Hopefully, if you have to walk away from an explosion, then it won't be because you set it off. If you did, however, then here's to hoping it was for a good cause. If not, then I guess I'll see you on the highway to hell. It was nice knowing you, pal.

8. "Cops and Robbers" by The Hoosiers

Well, after setting off that explosion, you'll certainly find yourself not only running from that, but from the law as well. "Cops and Robbers" sounded like so much more fun to play as a kid. Hope you weren't prone to losing that game.

9. "Megalovania" by Undertale OST

Whenever I hear this song, I always imagine trying to escape from a building with twisting halls and blocked passageways while the whole thing is on fire. Video game music often goes under-appreciated even though some of it can be so exciting!

10. "Ode To Joy" by Ludwig van Beethoven

The best action-comedy explosions must have totally unfitting music to go along with them. Everyone knows the part in this piece I'm referring to.

11. "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz

"Dynamite" by Taio Cruz, who has no relation to current presidential candidate and Internet meme Ted "Zodiac Killer" Cruz. This would be the ideal song to hum to yourself while setting up all that TNT needed to blow your arch-nemesis' lair sky high. You told him once, then you told him twice. When will those villains ever learn?

12. "Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions" by The Lonely Island

This is the ultimate "walking away from explosions" song. This has everything: explosions, cool guys, meta and even more explosions! Take these words to heart and remember to follow them to the letter when given the opportunity.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
