I couldn't have picked anything else for this slot. Not Samson, not Jolene, not even Mr Brightside (maybe Tam Lin, but only because I love fairies.) This song spoke to my angst-stricken teenage soul from the very first time I heard it. It will forever remind me of those years when I was first discovering music by myself, documenting all my overwrought emotions into a butterfly notebook, and quietly freaking out over the Kinsey Scale article on Wikipedia.  

Also, it was in 3/4 time, which I dig.  

 Soooo kinematics was a long time ago. But something moving me forward is, by definition, accelerating me, right? Or at least counteracting frictional forces? 

This song challenge is getting easier because there's only one song I can pick for this slot: 

Susanne Sundfor - Accelerate 

Accelerate is an audacious, gothic, 100% certified banger. Despite (because of?) the organ solo right before the final chorus. This is the feeling of running headlong into a snowstorm at night, of freefalling through the nine circles of hell, of giving in to the inexorable march of progress. Just give in and lose yourself to the megasynths.
