Songs to get you revved up

jefreywithonef · 02-06-2009 1:09pm #1

Sorry to add another topic to the board seeing as there's been about thirty new ones from the last three days.

Just wondering if anyone else is playing a load of upbeat, somewhat inspirational songs to get pumped up for tomorrow's proceedings? It has helped me anyway having spent most of this morning worrying about tomorrow.

Mainly been playing Husker Du and Pearl Jam.

I'll probably stick on Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin before I go to bed to get all sleepy and relaxed.

(Apologies if this is deemed off-topic, I consider it slightly relevant...:D)

one day like this...elbow

how do ya get a vid to show up?

Extrasupervery · 02-06-2009 2:08pm

Bright Eyes is good for the happy factor, The Cure is good for some chilling, some nice old school Fall Out Boy is good for hyperness.

Maybe hyperness isn't good though.

Apparently we should listen to reggae before sleep o.O

TanG411 · 02-06-2009 2:13pm

Soundtrack from Metal Gear Solid 1.

Especially This tune:

Bit of Mozart never lets you down. May opt for some Air before the french exam.

Baz Luhrmann

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips is just about the most encouraging album ever recorded, imho. Race For The Prize and The Gash get me going like no other music. The Finale from Stravinsky's Firebird, too.

The three days before my music exam, I'll be listening to Mozart, Berlioz and Deane non-stop. The Beatles can go **** themselves

This genuinely does get me pretty pumped.

Turn your speakers down a bit though, if your not used to "The heavy stuff"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgZWEAhj3Uo

Pigwidgeon · 02-06-2009 5:26pm

someone already mentioned the lonely island, but I'm on a boat does get me fairly pumped!

We · 02-06-2009 5:27pm

I will admit that I was rocking out fairly hard to The Who - Who Are You, this morning prior to my study.. For whatever reason, it scyched me up to a degree and have been hitting the english books pretty hard since then

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgWQ1erBnMo

Swizz · 02-06-2009 5:29pm

Fabolous - Its My Time

Busta Rhymes/ Linkin Park - We Made It

Eminem - Lose yourself (the intro - 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?)

T.I. - Big Things Poppin ( DO IT)

Alot of rap, cant think of any rock/pop songs.

Davaeo09 · 02-06-2009 5:35pm

Asher Roth - I love College
Some inspiration to get into college (again for me :rolleyes:)

Kings of Leon - Revelry
Thinking about the party I am throwing for my mates after the exams

Kayne West - Stronger
Simply great! I take a jog up the field blaring this out of my I-pod and come back for another hours study!

OH! And for all of you that should be studying - "every little helps"
In other words, spend an extra 10 minutes studying, you'd be surprised how much it helps.

SligoBrewer · 02-06-2009 5:35pm

A bitta Bruce is all I'm listening to in the run up. Especially, the earlier albums, about getting away from New Jersey. It's like poetry about leaving your hometown in search of pastures new, motivational poetry. That touches you deep inside once you let it.

Born to Run (Spot live shots of Slane '85!)

Working on a Dream

Tougher Than the Rest

+1 on Air as well. Class.

Not a touch on "I love college" in terms of horrendous bentness.

It is one of the few songs I actually have a problem with people liking!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUSDS9pkA2Y

"She says we've gotta hold on,
To what we've got.
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not!
We got each other.
And that's a lot for love...

WE'LL GIVE IT A SHOT!!!!!"
