Retirement Playlist

So, tomorrow (Thursday) is my last day in Spartanburg Five. It’s been a long, strange trip, and it’s weird to think that this part of my career is over. It seems only fitting that I go out with an appropriate playlist.

But what to include? I think I’ll skip the obvious “Take this Job and Shove It”. I go in for more subtlety. Eclectic, but subtle. Jimmy Buffett’s “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes” will definitely make the list. Modest Mouse’s “Float On” will also be there. I think tops will be this song by the Talking Heads…

“Take Me to the River” will also make the list. Devo’s “Working in a Coal Mine” is one of the more obvious selections.

I’ve got 179 songs on my playlist as it is – far more than the few hours I’ll actually be at work tomorrow. It was surprisingly easy to find songs from my extensive library. Songs about new beginnings and open roads are good selections. Surprisingly, break up songs tend to work well, too. I’d post the entire list here, but it might take up too much space.

So, what do you think? What would make a good retirement song? Perhaps this one will sum it up best…
