Songs for a mid-life crisis

Cafe Society

I am planning my mid-life crisis. In fact to tell you the truth an 18 year old female employee of mine is helping me out a bit with the planing phase if that tells you anything about the seriousness of the matter.

I am probably gonna take a super long bike trip. Alaska to South America or some other equally ridiculous journey. I hitchhiked up here from Colorado and lived in a tent for 7 months about 12 years ago so this type of thing is my style.

I was hoping for some good fitting Mid-life crisis songs, or vague journey going songs like “Running down a dream”

If you have an 18-year old female helping you plan your midlife crisis and you’re looking for song suggestions, you’re doing it wrong.

3

A Pirate Looks at 40…or, for that matter, almost anything else by Jimmy Buffet.

Midlife Crisis by Faith No More

5

“Alone Again, Naturally” by Gilbert O’Sullivan?

6

Whatever was on the radio when you were in high school. In my case, Allman Brothers, Doobie Brothers, Kiss and Blue Oyster Cult.

7

“Is That All There Is” by Peggy Lee

8

Bat out of Hell worked for me.

9

Don’t Stand So Close to Me by the Police might be a good start.

Or just about anything by R. Kelly

Night Moves - Bob Seger

Ain’t it funny how the night moves
with autumn closing in…

Boys of Summer - Don Henley

And for the road trip aspect:

Take It to the Limit - The Eagles

“Midnight Rider” Allman Brothers
“Let the River Run” Carly Simon

Fifty-six is such a good time to do this. Damn, I loved being in my fifties! Come home clear and strong…

I am in my 30’s

The play list is kinda a combo idea.
