{Anthems}

Anthem songs.  Everyone has one or....twenty.  Every school has a playlist of them to play in the hallways during homecoming week with "Eye of the Tiger" topping it all off.  {I had the privilege of my high school playing the same five songs for every {insert sport} homecoming week all four years. Yippee.}

Although school has already started, there are those of us who refuse to believe that summer is over {myself very much included}.  For us rebels, we start to warm up {or cool down?} to the idea of the end of summer once Labor Day comes and goes.  I have to tell myself every August that it's not the end of the world and it really doesn't start to get icky cold until late November/early December.  And so, yes I CAN still play outside and do things outdoorsy without putting on eighteen layers of clothing.

With Labor Day weekend approaching in a few short days, I suggest we take on this new season with some Anthem songs.  You may love the oldies like Eye of the Tiger or maybe you're looking for some new tunes to blast in your car on your way to work/college/hangout/whatever.   Thanks to Relevant Magazine {which I've subscribed to in the last year and get the hard copy in the mail every other month} I've been discovering some new bands like the Sleigh Bells.  Songs like Tell'em and Infinity Guitars are some of my favorites off their debut album Treats and totally Anthem-worthy.

What are some of your "Anthem" or roll-your-windows-down-and-crank-up-the-volume songs?  Everyone loves Anthem songs, even the kids.  So don't be shy, let me know what your fav songs are and don't forget to use your "guitar hands" and "guitar feet":
