What music motivates you?

188 replies
After 10 years of making a comfortable living, 100% online, things are getting tough.

I found some old CD's and popped in Tom Petty. I listened to "I won't back down".

"you can stand me up at the gates of hell, but I won't back down"

Just what I needed to hear today!

What music inspires or motivates you?

    Avril Lavigne "Tomorrow is another day",

    I listen to it before I go to sleep, since it tells me that what you did today, if you had a bad day, tomorrow is another day, a brand new start, and you can do better than yesterday.

    Ha! Cool question...

    It's tough though, so many possibilities. When it comes to fitness and weight-training, which really helps me have a power mindset for my whole life - surprisingly - I find that some of Eminem's tracks from 8 Mile, are awesome.

    From 8 Mile Road:

    "Yo I won't tell no lie, not a moment goes by
    That I don't pray to the sky, please I'm beggin you God
    Please don't let me be pigeon-holed into no regular job

    ...

    And it's cold, tryin to travel this road
    Plus I feel like I'm on stuck in this battlin mode
    My defenses are so up, but one thing I don't want
    is pity from no one"

    Lose Yourself:
    "Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
    To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
    Would you capture it or just let it slip?"

    AND THE BEST ONE...

    Till I Collapse:
    "'Cause sometimes you feel tired... feel weak,
    and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.

    But you gotta search within you...

    You gotta find that inner strength and just pull that **** out of you and get that motivation to not give up and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse."


    There's so many others, but I'll leave it to other warriors to post. From day-to-day, as a Christian, there is nothing more motivating than worship and praisemusic - something I never thought I would be listening to.

    Thanks guys, all the best!

  • I like to listen to classical music when I need motivation! I listen to Indian Classical (Karnatic) as well as Western. My favourite is a raga called 'Kathana Kuthuhalam' which is a highly motivating & inspiring piece.

    Otherwise, I get totally absorbed in the Blue Danube or Beethoven's Pastoral.

    pretty much anything Sean Costello, bluesy enough
    to connect to the soul, not bluesy enough to make
    me want to cry, awesome guitar solos,...

    specific titles: "can't let go" or "check it out" (all on youtube)

    another awesome funky/jazzy track is "Finest Flower" by
    King Johnson (also on youtube) -- download this and play
    in media player at 1.4 speed -- so funky you won't be able
    to type anymore with all the finger-tapping/snapping....

    I listen to Mozart when I'm writing as I find it helps my mind feel clear and doesn't distract me. It has to be just at the right volume though.
    To pump up my energy before sitting down to write, I bounce around to the Black Eyed Peas - I gotta feelin'

    Basically, I find anything that I just can't keep still to is going to get my physical and mental energy levels SOARING!

      I listen to electronica with a lot of orchestration in it. Rob Dougan, Hybrid, Little People. the song i listen to every morning to start my day at my 8-5 is Deadly Avenger's "We Took Pelham". Is is the song in every Rocky movie that plays when he gets serious about training. It gets me amped up enough to work the 16 hour days, day after day.

      Yeah!! Their songs are pretty catchy and you could even sing-along with those great lyrics..I think it's safe to say that Lennon-Mccartney are two of the best song writers in the history of music. Black sabbath, The Clash, Peter Frampton!! I grew up adoring those !!

    It depends upon what I'm going to do. While exercising physically I prefer AC/DC or something like that, when I need to think over something I like to listen calm and relaxing music, when I want to dance I want to hear some club mixes, and when I'm nervous I like drum&bass. There is no bad music, there are bad situations for each kind of music.))

    And if you can, playing your own music (i.e. playing an instrument or singing) is the perfect way to escape from the world. I literally think about nothing else when I'm playing, and I think it's a great experience.

      to each its own... but nothing moves me more than oriental pop, esp. chinese & korean ( they come in english too)... and u know that pop was 1st introduced to asia by a black jazz & r&b singer? Now that brings wonders & amusement, because paradigms often shift every mid-century turn-mark. We thought they Chris Columbus was the 1st to land in the Americas, but actually, a shipwreck remains underground artifacts actually points to the Chinese being amongst the pioneers. Also they say AIDS or HIV originated from Africa, but they discovered that it appeared in the US 1 year before tourists brought it to Africa. Another thing is matter is made up of nothing.
      (I know...i know... totally side tracked off topic... but you get the picture).

    Excellent topic as music is the force that inspirationally drives many people. Throughout my life there have been many a theme song I've latched onto for myself though as I've aged they've become less noisier and more mellow,lol. These days I can always pop in Reckless Kelly,"Wicked Twisted Road" as it so clearly mirrors the turbulent life I've lived and in a sort of reverse psychology makes me feel inspired from having survived through it all to fight on! If I am in the mood for an upbeat get me pumping song then a newer more Irish inspired sounding Reckless Kelly song,"Seven Nights in Ireland" does the trick quite nicely.

    I think music motivates us when we have an association to it from a time when we was motivated! -- for that reason it's highly contextual.

    But some of my favourites are (and popular 'shower' songs)

    -- It's not unusual by Tom Jones -- who can forget the Calton dance?
    -- Kung fu fighting -- I don't know why this motivates me, it just does
    -- Kiss from a rose by Seal -- this is just such a beautiful song

    When I'm working I only listen to classical -- lyrics distract me. The classical album I listen to is ''The Most Relaxing Classical Album In The World Ever''. -- really ..er.. relaxing...

    When in work-mode, it's nice to have something a bit cerebral without being distracting (that doesn't sound snobbish, does it?). Love some good trip-hop like Massive Attack, Thievery Corporation, or pure instrumental tunes.

      Anything with an electro-disco beat to it with a hint of synth thrown in there will do the trick for me. Anything by Bottin, Tensnake, Todd Terje, CFCF, Munk, FM Attack, Lindstrøm and Grum will do it for me! Just upbeat enough to get you going but not too upbeat to get obnoxious!

    Recently I've been listening to Switchfoot in the mornings... *really* listening to the lyrics (and I'm not even a 'lyrics person'). They have been very inspiring to me. Also when I'm feeling a bit down they motivate me to get up again.

    In particular this song, "This Is Your Life":
    "Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead, yesterday is a promise that you've broken."

    "Don't close your eyes. This is your life and today is all you've got now. And today is all you'll ever have."

    "This is your life, are you who you want to be? This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be?"

    Brilliant!

    Also, "I Dare You To Move":
    "Welcome to the planet. Welcome to existance. Everyone's here. Everybody's watching you now. Everybody waits for you now. What happens next? I dare you to move. I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor."

    "I dare you to move like today never happened before."

    "Welcome to the fallout. Welcome to resistance. The tension is here. Between who you are and who you could be. Between how it is and how it should be. I dare you to move."

    They write a number of motivational songs ("Gone" is another favourite of mine). While they are a Christian band, you can interprete and take their lyrics however you see fit.

    Music does motivate.

    I created a music and film multimedia project that was designed to inspire people to overcome challenges in their lives.

    It unwittingly became a autobiographical journey. During production, I nearly went blind and found out I had kidney disease and at high risk for heart disease, but I have nearly fully recovered through diet and nutrition.

    I'm creating a health related IM product about my experience that I hope will help many people. It will take a while though to create, LOL.

    While the project takes you through dark periods in the character's lives, it ultimately leads to
    them finding themselves and growing into happiness.

    I was told by many "experts" that it couldn't be done. It took 12 years to complete.
    You can hear the music and watch videos here:

    I also have a chant Buddhist music that seems to be a hit in our office. Kinda like I'm inside a temple where monks are chanting Sutra while I'm eating noodles.

    JPop and even some Kpop motivates me, while my Chant Music makes my team docile..haha.

    Music soothes our soul and mind, and as for me, that would depend on my mood. But the very music that soothes any mood I have is the classical music by Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3. The music never fails to give a nice time to relax and enjoy the time listening. And as a matter of fact, it is a very good music for meditation for self-healing.

Rap/Hip Hop music is the music that inspires those who do the street life, Reggaeton means only love, House music make you feel you are in a club, Psychedelic inspires me too much because all begins quietly and then is a moment when the music arrives at the highest point !!!
    But the thing I would really love to do in this moment is to drive a Ford Mustang year 1967, volume max with songs from old times for example(Driver Parallel Lines Soundtrack)....

    "you can stand me up at the gates of hell, but I won't back down"

    Just what I needed to hear today!

    What music inspires or motivates you?
    I dunno but I really enjoy techno music. I'm not sure if I focus well listening to it but it's still enjoyable for me.

    I like listening to Hans Zimmer or other film music when working on projects. But besides that I also like to listen to Coldplay or Kings of Leon :-) and so many more artists haha. I often listen to the top 100 of Spotify also!

      I love Hans Zimmer! Especially the Gladiator soundtrack! I can't say that it helps me get any work done but it sure is inspiring still.

    I am a huge fan of electronic music - especially stuff without vocals. I can get a huge amount of work done if I'm listening to Trentemoller or Ghosh.

    I am inspired by music that makes me want to move. When I am writing I like to have upbeat music playing in the background. R&B, Dance music and some rap. The rhythm really helps me.

      I love any music by Hans Zimmer especially the Gladiator soundtracks. That music is very motivating for me and it helps me to get my work done.

      I love to write to any Epic soundtrack.

      Thanks,

      Richard

    I like listening to Pink Floyd. Though I don't get a lot of motivation from them, but still. Other than that, there are loads of musicians, bands, etc.

      I'd have to say anything by Alter Bridge, or 3 Doors Down helps me when I need a kick in the arse to get things done.

    I like listening the song of Miley Cyrus "The Climb" ... There's always gonna be another mountain. I'm always gonna wanna make it move. Always gonna be a uphill battle. Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose. Ain't about how fast I get there. Ain't about what's waiting on the other side. It's the climb.

    I was on an inspirational song search yesterday and was struck by a song I came across which was featured in 'The Bucket List' - Live Like You Were Dying - that was truly inspirational to me.
