Hi @SteveBelgraver, thanks for sharing this song and I’m glad to know it helped during a difficult time. I’m certain other members appreciate it and will add it to their playlist.

Hey Everyone

Listing a few that Ill always play to motivate myself:

Hey Jealousy - The Ergs!
Weightless - All Time Low
Dear Maria. Count Me In - All Time Low
Numb/Encore - JayZ Linkin Park
Forever - Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Eminem

@gdyczyak, love the variety of songs and artists!

This song always manages to lift my spirits and reminds me of a time when I overcame a tough period in my life.

Hi @Umang Upadhyay , thanks for sharing this song and how it helped you during a difficult time. It’s definitely an upbeat song that will help others in the community as well.

“I can go the Distance” from the Hercules soundtrack is a great motivational song. (Not the most up-tempo, so it’s not great on a workout playlist).

For my workout playlist, I found this bagpipe cover/mashup of Shipping up to Boston and Enter Sandman, and it’s got a pretty good beat for when I’m running. (ok, jogging). I also really like the theme song from Pirates of the Caribbean. (the movie, not the ride :))

I was not expecting someone to suggest the Pirates of the Caribbean theme song but I’m glad you did! Similar to @pamelalbeck , it is also already on my playlist.

“For You, And Your Denial” by Yellowcard is the starting song on any gym playlist I create

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk

Can’t beat “Shut Up & Dance” by Walk the Moon

I like to listen to Harry Bosch jazz playlists while working, mix of classic standards and newer artists.

This song definitely gets me pumped and excited to start something big!

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by Daft Punk

One of my favorite songs ever!

@XM_JoshB, thanks for sharing! It’s my first time hearing about this song but I’ll give it a listen. Always looking to update my gym playlist!

My go to for years has been Old Crow Medicine Show’s Wagon Wheel. It combines nostalgia with excitement for me!

Great addition to the playlist! I recently (and belatedly) discovered OCMS and am very much a fan!

This is a great track, Steve! I was not familiar with this artist previously. Great video, too!

There’s a singer who has attractive voice, mujin lee, in Korea. I love this song, episode.

Wonderful addition to the playlist!

I love to hear the song ‘Namo namo’ . devotional song which activates and motivates me to the highest.

Love the video that accompanies this song! Thank you for sharing!

I know this was on the list last year, but Whatever It Takes by Imagine Dragons is still on my power playlist. Their new song Eyes Closed is also a good one.

Can’t wait to pick up some new songs from all of your suggestions!

A great addition, Pamela!

I really never had a go to playlist but after thinking about this for a bit; I have always like “Don’t stop believin” by Journey and “Ain’t no mountain high enough” by Marvin Gaye

Journey is always a go-to for motivation!
