"It's interesting when I jog, how much the music makes a difference. You can pretty much count on the Foo Fighters to get your heart rate up"
About this Quote
Crow’s line slips a sly, self-aware truth into an everyday ritual: exercise isn’t just about discipline, it’s about mood management. By framing it as “interesting,” she plays it casual, but the observation lands because it treats music as an invisible performance-enhancing drug we all carry in our pockets. Jogging becomes less a test of willpower than a curated soundtrack where the right band can do the motivational labor for you.
Name-checking the Foo Fighters isn’t random. They’re reliable, stadium-sized propulsion: big drums, urgent guitars, choruses built to feel like forward motion. “You can pretty much count on” is doing cultural work here, pointing to a particular kind of rock that functions like a metronome for resilience. It’s not edgy taste-making; it’s dependable energy. That matters coming from Crow, a musician who understands how songs are engineered to move bodies, not just hearts. The subtext is almost professional admiration: she’s acknowledging another act’s craft as practical, bodily utility.
There’s also a peek at how adulthood repurposes music. The playlist is no longer identity theater for a bedroom mirror; it’s a tool for getting through a run, a commute, a day. In a culture that measures everything (steps, pace, BPM), she’s admitting the hack we rarely credit: our emotions and endurance are pliable, and a three-minute banger can change the numbers.
