Inspirational Music - Whats Yours ?

[gb155]

If you had to chose just one song, to inspire you to do something you didn't think you couldn't do, what would that song be ?

Right at the present it's 'Crying Sun' by New Race. Been running through my head for about a week now. Seriously worth youtubing. Ex Radio Birdman, MC5, Stooges personnel.

Sunrise by New Order.

Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel. I deliberately haven't got it on my mp3 player because I never want to get fed up with hearing it.

 

[wildjetskier]

David Bowie - Life on Mars

Not so much just one song, but most music by Vaughan Williams. Riding around country lanes it is often going through my head as I pedal through the English countryside. Pure magic.

I know of some who find VW's music hackneyed, but I agree with you; there are bits of the Tallis Fantasia for example that I find gorgeously matched to being surrounded by farmland and trees while out on a ride, alone with my thoughts and reminiscences and away from the bustle and hurry-hurry-hurry of the city.

Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture seems very inspiring to me, but I'm sure it does to many other people also. I can't really think of a song which uniquely inspires myself..

Keine Lust by Rammstein.
The song is about how he can't be bothered doing anything and ends up utterly frigid and cold.
In the video they wear fat suits and the lead singer fakes a clutcher during the instrumental break.
It's a great "I don't want to end up like that" motivator.

Diane Reeves - Better Days on Blue Note records.

However bad things look, you will get through them, there WILL be better days ....

The race by yello (extended version) I cycle like a 'man possessed' when that comes through the earphones

Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel. I deliberately haven't got it on my mp3 player because I never want to get fed up with hearing it.

Good call, but I'd never get tired of hearing it.


Has to be Chumbawamba's Tubthumping - hence my sig. line.
