What's on my I-Pod

I got an I-Pod for my 50th birthday a few weeks ago and I love it. It has really made the walking part of my exercise regime much more enjoyable. The problem is that I'm having a hard time finding music to go on it. I've been sort of out-of-touch with the pop and rock worlds recently, and a lot of alt-country doesn't lend inspire one to keep on legging it. I like something with a fast interesting rhythm and a positive theme. Some of the songs that stay near the top every time I rearrange my "Walking" playlist are "Centerfield" by John Fogerty, "Never Been Any Reason" from Head East, the Who's "Goin' Mobile," and "Go All the Way" from the Raspberries. All old stuff; there's only a handful of recent songs on there. I like "Everyone's in Love" by Will Kimbrough and "The Ballad of Barry Allen" from Jim's Big Ego -- Barry Allen by the way was the Flash, patron saint of walkers, joggers and runners -- and I've got some Green Day on there too, but that's about it. The problem is I don't know what's out there, and 30 second samples on I-Tunes can be misleading. One thing I do is always download the free songs of the week, even though I usually end up deleting them. I like the one this week though and I'll probably end up keeping it even though it makes me feel very old. The song is "Check Yes, Juliet" from a band called We The Kings.
Here are the lyrics:

Check yes juliet
are you with me
rain is falling down on the sidewalk
i won't go until you come outside
check yes juliet
kill the limbo
i'll keep tossing rocks at your window
cause there's no turning back for us tonight

lace up your shoes
A O A O ah
here's how we do

run baby run
don't ever look back
they'll tear us apart
if you give them the chance
don't sell your heart
don't say we're not meant to be
run baby run
forever will be
you and me

check yes juliet
i'll be waiting
wishing, wanting
yours for the taking
just sneak out
and don't tell a soul goodbye
check yes juliet
here's the countdown
3...2...1... now fall in my arms
now they can change the locks
don't let them change your mind

lace up your shoes
A O A O ah
here's how we do

run baby run
don't ever look back
they'll tear us apart
if you give them the chance
don't sell your heart
don't say we're not meant to be
run baby run
forever will be
you and me

we're flying through the night
flying through the night
way up high,
the view from here is getting better with
you by my side

run baby run
don't ever look back
they'll tear us apart
if you give them the chance
don't sell your heart
don't say we're not meant to be
run baby run
forever will be
you and me

Sounds like something that would be right up my alley, not only is it romantic as all get out, but the singer keeps referencing running and flying. The problem is I'm a parent. If I'd heard this song when I was 15 it would have been one of my favorites, no doubt; I'd probably still be listening to it 35 years later as with the thematically-similar "Go All the Way", but now I empathize with Mr. and Mrs. Capulet, or whatever this Juliet's parents are named. They're not trying to tear y'all apart, young man. They're concerned about their daughter's future, and they don't want her running off with a guy in a rock band. At least not yet. If y'all are "meant to be" you'll still be in a few years after Juliet finishes her education.
Yeah, I know, I smell it too. The unmistakable aroma of old fart.
