Music that Motivates

[Daniel A]

Da Funk (which is a song by Daft Punk btw...another French music group...this is just funky though)

 

[Black Wolf]

A few of my favourites.

 

[aardvarky]

Hip hop gets me going. Mostly the old school stuff. I blare it sometimes, like now, and zone off and it's seriously energizing.

Notorious BIG.
2Pac.
Nas.
Jay-Z.
Run DMC.
Snoop Dogg.
Fabolous.
even Kanye.

Look at my tennis shoes. I iced that.
Who am I? The back twister, lingerie-ripper
Automatic leg-spreader, quicker brain-getter
Keepin it gangsta with ya

It was all a dream
I used to read Word Up magazine...

F*ck you and your hampton house. I'll f*ck your hampton spouse, c*m on her hampton blouse...

We ain't meant to survive 'cause it's a setup
And even though you're fed up
Ya got to keep your head up

You'd never guess it by looking at me, but these are the lyrics running through my head sometimes...is there something wrong with me?

Maybe. I'm a hip hop head too, and its not so much the words but how they say them.

Always puts me in the mood to hustle.

I told myself that I would take a break from the forum to focus for the rest of the month, but I had to share this

I got this album when it came out and on CD haha.

I was listening to it last night while working out and I still like it

This probably sounds goofy, but the Fight Club soundtrack is incredible.

The whole thing is just the Chemical Brothers. It gets you focused, and pumped at the same time - its almost hard to describe.

I've personally always liked instrumental music when it comes to doing stuff. My brain is too small to think and hear words at the same time....

I've found this motivating.

Thought I'd bring this sweet thread back.

I'm normally a rock and rap guy but for some reason upbeat IndiePop really has been dominating me lately and always gets me feeling optimistic.

 

[MattL]

Movie soundtracks usually helps put me in "work mode"

 

[GuestUser113]

 

[Charnell]

I listen to a bit of everything nowadays. Depends on the situation really.

For those of you that played GTA3

 

[Kreedos Phoenix]

All of these songs go in!

 

[DeletedUser394]

This shit gets me pumped.

 

[Neil Mayfield]

I've been listening to the new Pink Floyd album on spotify while working. I've found it helps me get in a great work mode!

I didn't listen to this song completely (even though I've listened to others from the band) until yesterday. The music and lyrics are both great.

This is a song for those
who lost their hope
a long a long time ago
I know someday that you will find it somehow
Because you're not too old
to accomplish goals
and all the answers are within your soul
its up to you, you gotta figure it out
Uh huh

Whether you want love or money
Good fortune or fame
You want a brand new card
You want the world to change
You better take some action right now, oh yes
Because there's nothing in the world that you can't get
So don't fill your life with confusion and regret
You better take some chances right now

Well you can gain the world
but for the price of your soul
yes I know, well I know, yes I know
you can gain the world for the price of your soul
but I hope you take the road less traveled
and I hope you find the courage to grow
well I hope you find the courage to grow

So now you're 45
and you realize
just what you wanna do with your life
just took some time for you to figure it out
Cause everyone one of us
Has a purpose here
Sometimes its hidden underneath your fear
Just takes some time for the truth to come out

Rebelution - Courage To Grow

 

[Guest3722A]

Dude, yes! I used to skate to SOAD all the time.

Right now its 4:20 am est and that video has 249,011,013 views. It gained tens of thousands of views from when I posted it up til now. I'm interested in seeing how many more its picked up when i get back home and then how many when I get up tomorrow. That's some serious power though

edit- 70,599 in around 8hrs. 8825 per hr. rounded, but powerful. Mega hits are at 1/2 a billion plus, like Adele & Bruno Mars stuff and that someone I used to know tune. All those repeating listeners coming back for more. Interesting stuff and interesting to me because my (currently) very slow moving project is in an industry that I think has the potential to parallel but on a much smaller scale. Definitely would like to learn more about what makes a mega-hit to the end users. Using music, is it a sweet-spot connection with their audience? Certain harmonies that reach humans on a higher level? The structure?

Yngwie

I like how he has to shake the lactic acid off at the end

This is left field, but when I'm in full blown sales/creation/concentration mode, these two are gold mines for me.

And this here is on another level. The quality isnt up to par, but this helps me tune in to what I need to do, while tuning out the wackness of any neighbors I may have had to sit next to:

May be a bit weird but I'm an artist and far from normal lol.

Peace

For me, basically anything by Avicii, but I love this one with Syn Cole, Miami 82.

This video I watch freqently, it's a perfectly accurate microcosm of how I want my life to be 4 or 5 years down the road.
