What's the one song that motivates you?

[EmersonFitbit]

I have that one song. You have that one song. We all have that one song. Some people have more than one song (that's okay!). What is the one song that gets you fired up?

For me, if I'm diggin' some alternative, it's Sleigh Bells' "Infinity Guitars." If I need to hear some nice hip-hop to get my workout going, my go-to is Kanye West's "Power."  If I need some EDM in my life, I go with this amended version of Lana Del Ray's "Summertime Sadness." As far as song in movies go, John William's composition of "Battle of the Heroes" does it for me!

As a bonus, my good friend @GraceFitbit reminded me how good the year 2005 was, and went with Beyoncé's Crazy In Love .

Above all else, there is the one song that gets me ready to work hard and reach for the improbable. It is one of the most popular songs in the history of the world, and universally one of the most motivating. I am speaking, of course of Ludwig Van Beethoven's "5th Symphony in C Minor."

Now that you have an idea of what songs get our blood ready to flow and our hearts ready to race, we have to know- what song motivates you?

Lately I have been enjoying Sia's music, I find some songs very motivating, specially Elastic Heart...love that song! 

[NavyDP1]

Anything by composer Bear McCreary that has alot of Taiko drums.....seems to get me going.

Agree with Macklemore - Can't Hold Us, also the majority of Ash's 'Meltdown' album, especially Orpheus:

Nightwish. Epic opera metal.

I love Moby for cycling.  Really gets me through the hills and sprints. Haven't seen mention of "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke.  When that song plays, it's impossible to walk slowly!  I also like the Beastie Boys. Favorites are "No Sleep Til Brooklyn" and "She's Crafty".  I see lots of 90's music listed here.  Seems that was a great decade for memorable music. 

[Mcore]

It was @SherryT, 90's music was the best! I'm glad to see that you also like the Beastie Boys 

Thanks for stopping by!

[KayTeeMo]

Most of Die Antwoords stuff. Especially Baby's on fire!

[Spartan_Dawg]

Haha, I love that Killer Instinct soundtrack!  Haven't heard it in years - thanks for the reminder!

[Susan43]

DebbiLynn, I do THE VERY SAME THING! Sometimes I'm through an entire song before I realize I'm singing it out loud, lol. By then it's too late, they've already heard me!

[DebbiLynn]

It is really embarrassing for me, as I can't carry a tune!  

[Mcore]

That doesn't matter @DebbiLynn, as long as you are having fun, it's ok. 

Keep on singing!

I have a number of songs I listen to while I work out, but the one that really gets me going is "For You" by Keith Urban.  Awesome song to work out to!

[Mcore]

I need to listen to that one then. Thank you for sharing @mtbell001!
