Music that Motivates

For me, one of the things in my life that has always been there when I was down or needed a pick me up or a push, and many times that extra 'kick' to push me that one step further, is music. The messages and moods given by the multitudes of artists are countless, and there are way too many great and outstanding songs with positive and inspirational influence that I'm amazed that nobody else hasn't already started a thread like this here in such a positive and inspiring web presence.

I'm starting this thread for two reasons, the first, to see how many music lovers and contributors I can get to add songs and music that pumps you up, and gets you ready to take on the world. The second reason is to make a place for those to go and get pumped up, who may need a spot to go and listen to something that will inspire and make your path that much clearer. My hope is to eventually have that one tune here for you, whenever you need it!

The first song I'm gonna add is the one song that has always pushed me towards greater thoughts of achievement and innovation. It's message encompasses the entrepreneurial spirit, and strengthens your belief in yourself.

The song: Take Hold of the Flame -by Queensryche

Take Hold Of The Flame lyrics

We see the light of those who find
A world has passed them by
Too late to save a dream that's growing cold
We realize that fate must hide its face
From those who try
To see the distant signs of unforetold
Oh... oh, take hold

From a haze came a rage of thunder
Distant signs of darkness on the way
Fading cries scream of pain and hunger
But in the night the light will guide your way

So take hold of the flame
Don't you see life's a game
So take hold of the flame
You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain

Ride, to a place beyond our time
Reach, for the edges of your mind, and you are there
See, that the light will find its way
Back to a place where it will stay, make it stay

Throw down the chains of oppression that bind you
With the air of freedom the flame grows bright
We are the strong, the youth united
We are one, we are children of the light

So take hold of the flame
Don't you see life's a game
So take hold of the flame
You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain

Lately I've been listening a lot to stuff like this... Imagining myself sitting on the roof terrace of my London penthouse in a $10,000 custom suit, with a fat cigar in my mouth, scotch in one hand and a hot blonde in the other after just another closed multi-million dollar deal, which have become a regular occurence in my life. :cigar:

F*cking power metal motivates. If this shit doesn't motivate you, then give up

Haha.... You're damn right!!!
And who needs coffee or adderall when you've got glorious, audible caffeine like THIS:


For people averse to the 'metal' sounding verse, skip to the uplifting/happy chorus at 1:38, lol.

If you're not pumped after hearing this, just consider going back to your 9-5. :) :)
(this music seriously gets me psyched and motivated)

where eagles dare
Almost forgot!

This genre is not for everyone, but the lyrics! Seriously, check out the lyrics.


Meshuggah - "Do Not Look Down"


Strive, strive, surmount the obstacles
Become the essence of your goals
Hereditary dream
Pray that you may attain that destiny
Fall into the coveted line
Where life is but a theme
Of pretense in lustrous guise

Claims and values
Charts of means and status
Plaques to show your strife
Do your neighbour clones approve

Picture perfect illustration
Imitation of life
Where the path is evened out
All obstructions removed

Great viable citizen
Are you happy now?
Then praise your God and bow

Shimmering surface
The gleam of blinding lies
Become the product
The thing you so desire

To what length would you go to reach your goals?
What mantra will you use to justify your means?
Who will you betray to secure your dream?
What sins will you commit to avoid your sins be seen?

Do not look down
Do not look down
Or the abysmal beast of non-conformity
Might stare some unpleasant truth
Into your desensitized mind

Shimmering surface
The gleam of blinding lies
Become the product
The thing you so desire

This song perfectly describes the transformation from wantrepreneur to entrepreneur IMO.

OK, looks like we've got some taste in music over here!

For motivational music, here's a couple that will get a little electricity running in the veins:


"I came with nothing but thoughts from another planet, a Heart that you can't break and a Dream that you can't imagine."
"Far from average, I doubt that you understand it, I put my pain in the paint and put it on the canvas."
"Painted picture so vivid that I envision my life without any limits and try my hardest to live it.
I am a DREAMER, you see it in my demeanor, I be this way to the Death and take it up with the Reaper."

This guy is the anthem for all dreamers. First verse gives me GOOSEBUMPS!

"Gotta be Number 1, since I was young, so you can save your pity, cause I ain't F*ckin DONE"


"It's all me, from the sidewalk to the stars. I'm never going to SETTLE!"


"I'll sleep, when I'm dead, Won't even, stop to catch, my breath."


" MISTER. BIG. DREAMS. No tolerance."


"Everybody said you better stay in school, get a real job boy, don't be a fool. Burn that guitar you'll never be a star. I CAN, I CAN, I CAN. I CAN DO ANYTHING!"

haha I've got myself in a playlist now. ENJOY!

The song I listen to when I need some inspirational music is Superchick - Stand Up. It's kind of a punkish song but the message is great.

Superchick - Stand Up:
Livin' in this nightmare
Destroyin' my dreams
Hauntin' to myself
What regret keeps hunting
But can I change my ways
Of counting the days
That keep on fadin' away
I keep losing today
Whan it's gone
And the hourglass falls
Will I have more than regret to show for it all
Or will I wake up and start living my dreams
Instead of lettin' this nightmare take control of me

Live today through the future's lens
Don't wanna wish you could rewind and play it again

Stand up write the soundtrack for your life
It doesn't happen to you,you happen to life
Stand up, do something with your light
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life

You're bored, gotta wonder if there's more
Waiting for the dream life you thought you had in store.
Trying to feel something you can chase a life that's thrilla
Living on the edge smoking drinking dream killas.
Couldabeen shouldabeen wouldabeen..
what might your life have been
Today you're not a has-been, but at your life's end
will you have regrets than, have regrets than?
Are you ok with today if tomorrow is the end

Live today through the future's lens
Don't wanna wish you could rewind and play it again

Stand up write the soundtrack for your life
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life
Stand up, do something with your light
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life

We're all scared, gotta wonder whats out there,
Shooting down the ones who did what we wish we dared
Everybody's scared to Karaoke in the open
Afraid we're not as special as what we might be hoping so we're frozen haven't chosen
just going through the motions
Faith and belief, courage overrule emotions
Stand up and be counted for something when it's time
Decide where you stand, take your hands raise em high

Live today through the futures lens
Don't wanna wish you could reset and play it again

Stand up write the soundtrack for your life
It doesn't happen to you,you happen to life
Stand up, do something with your light
It doesn't happen to you, you happen to life

... On a slightly less motivational note, I can't keep the theme of using lala for snippets since they're shutting down.

I think there is not a single day, that I go without listening to music. Music has become a large part of my life, especially when I got an iPod. I listen to every genre possible (except death metal) and each song on my iPod has a specific meaning to me. Many of the songs I listen to, give an emotional stimulus within me that adds to my drive and motivation. The following are a few that I listen to in various situations.

1. Two Steps from Hell- Master of Shadows- I listen to this song often, especially when I'm running. For some reason, when I play this song, I can run faster for an extended period of time.

YouTube - Two Steps From Hell - Master Of Shadows


2. A Dark Knight- Hans Zimmer- I really enjoy Epic Soundtracks, it instills peace within me and makes my mind wander and think.

Part 1-

YouTube - The Dark Knight OST 14 A Dark Knight Part1

Part 2-

YouTube - The Dark Knight OST 14 A Dark Knight Part2

3. Someday- Flypside- Song by Flypside that has a lot of positive and uplifting lyrics. "Someday we'll break free from these chains and keep on fly'n" To me this means breaking free from the slowlane and flying (driving) on the fastlane.

YouTube - Flipsyde - Someday


4. Overtime-Ace Hood- Like I stated, I listen to all genres and this song gives a positive message. You must put in extra effort in everything you do to succeed. It is do or die. No one can tell you what you can and can't do. Just Do it. Follow your heart and passions.

YouTube - Ace Hood - Overtime featuring akon & t pain
