New Year's Spin

[dc13]

I am planning to do a theme based on new years, new beginnings, happiness, looking ahead, that kind of thing. I prefer rock (classic and new) and will also play up-tempo dance type songs.

I am looking for things beyond the obvious like U2- new years day.

Thanks!

Is Sting's "Brand New Day" too obvious?

I'm not sure if you could find it, but a PA based band, The Badlees, had some national exposure about 10 years ago. 3-4 years ago the lead guitarist put out a solo album under the band name The Cellarbirds. This would be an awesome guitar-driven climb under your theme.

"Starting Over Again" - The Cellarbirds

(I have the CD...not sure if it's available for download)



I've been trying to think of some others...........


"Right Now" - Van Halen (sort-of SIEZE THE MOMENT like)

"Let the Day Begin" - The Call

[dc13]

Raindrop - I actually am planning to use Brand New Day as my warm up!

Thanks.

Not rock, but more of an up-tempo club mix (I've used it for climbs):

(Reach up for the) Sunrise -- Duran Duran -- Remix

Lyrics include: "Reach up for the sunrise, let a new day, enter your life" ... "from this moment everything .. is born again" ....

(It's also got a beat and you can dance/spin to it .... :wink: )

ABBA - Happy New Year

[Love2BFit]

This is the track listing of my New Years Spin for the Millenium. Sorry I cant' remember all the artists.

Good Life (way out west mix)
Karma Slave
Destiny (Vanessa Mae)
Desire (u2)
Woman's Got Power
Sky
No More Drama (MJB)
Sunscreen - Baz Lurhman (made them listen to it)
At Last - Etta James (Cool Down)

Brand New Day would be a great warm up.
Happy New Year All

"Another Auld Lang Syne" - Dan Fogelberg (definitely cool down)

For new year's day consider:

Los Lobos-I Got Loaded
