Before I go in to this post, I just want to say that I’ve been rather busy lately with loads of new training and implementation on SEO and PPC so I’ve not been really updating my blog as much as i would love to. But I believe that education is part of running an online business and once I gain more knowledge, I can then share them on this blog!
Ok, so this post is simply going to be about the power of music. Music has always been known to arouse emotions and trigger reactions from people and I am personally a huge fan of listening to music that inspires me mentally.
For me, there is always the perfect music for the perfect situation and I’m going to show you my list of 16 inspirational songs that never fail to get me going and psyched!
(1) The Final Countdown – Europe
This is hands down my favourite song of all my favourite songs! I used to listen to it every day on the way to work and it always got me started with a positive attitude!
(2) Walking On Sunshine – Katrina and the Waves
Woohoo!! Without doubt my best “Start the day song!” Wake up to this everyday and you’ll realise that there’ll be an additional spring in your walk throughout the day!
We all have our bad days! But remember that you are not alone! Everyone experiences those down times but listen to this song and get yourself back up with the knowledge that tomorrow will be better!
(4) Tub Thumping – Chumba Wumba
The Famous Soccer theme!! – “I get knock down!! But I get up again!!” – Persevere and keep getting up whenever life gets you down! Enjoy this!
(5) Return to Innocence – Enigma
We have all heard this before. But what we usually miss out is the lyrics. The next time you listen to the song, listen out for the lyrics between the famous “Aie-aie-aie-oh-aie…..”
(6) I Believe I Can Fly – R. Kelly
Might seem cliché BUT we all know the impact that this song can have on us. No matter how many times we hear it, it’s still able to get our hearts beating a little faster and those goose bumps popping out!
(7) Affirmation – Savage Garden
Just the name of the song gets my heart beating… I love the way the song gradually builds your emotions inside till it feels as though you are going to explode… then they play it down in between and then it starts to build again to the climax!!! Not to mention the superbly meaningful lyrics!
(8) I Can See Clearly Now – Johnny Nash
Believe in yourself and you will achieve what you need. If you find that you are dragging yourself out of bed every day, you NEED to listen to this and take heart because life is good!
Wonderful lyrics in this song! Follow the lyrics closely and they will answer any question that might be bogging you down right now… Listen attentively and you’ll get your answer!
(10) Hero – Mariah Carey
Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve really loved this song. It gave me courage to face my fears and whatever sadness I ever come across. It got me through many down periods of my life and if you are going through a tough patch now, listen to this song and I know it’ll help you get through.
(11) What a Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong
Awwwww…. It’s such a classic… calms the mind and makes you contemplate exactly how wonderful life is! Just look at your loved ones around you and immerse yourself in that happiness for a few minutes.
(12) I Feel Good – James Brown
This is my FUN song, use it to get your spirits up and maybe your bum moving a little, It never fails to bring a smile to my face and I’m sure it’ll do the same for you.
(13) Chariots of Fire – Vangelis
OMG… the classic of the classics! All those slow motion cuts in all those movies and all those comedies and all those sports scenes and all the emotional times! Just close your eyes when you listen to this and experience a whole new level of audio pleasure.
(14) Eye of the Tiger – Survivor
This song actually inspires me thought bringing back memories of the Rocky movie series and his determination. It’s more a memory stimulus rather than just a song to me. But the song still rocks!
(15) I Will Survive – Gloria Gaynor
The classic song that gave so many individuals the motivation to get out of their negative circumstances and literally kick themselves back on track!
Amazing beat on this song that always gets me wanting to go for a run or somehow get my body moving! Great for exercising and building that motivation!
So there you have it! My list of 16 inspirational songs that I hope will be able to bring you some pleasure and encouragement!
Till my next post!
