@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!


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

@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! 🎵🎤


This one is not is work appropriate, but I like “Bad Girls” by M.I.A. hahah

Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes

Stronger by Kanye

Thunderstruck AC/DC

 

So many fun ones!

 

 

 

Seven Nation Army is SO GOOD 🎸 Meg White is a fantastic drummer! 🥁

 


This playlist is one of my favorite to work to, great for focusing.

 

So many jazz legends on that list! 🎹🎶


“Beginning to See The Light” is a fave on my workout playlist 💪

 


Eye of the tiger! 🐯 Just pushs me to the limit. Never give up your dreams…


I get motivated listening Coldplay - Adventure Of A Lifetime  during a dashboard construction 😜


 


The Champion by Carrie Underwood

Livin’ on the Edge by Aerosmith

Trustfall by P!nk

 

Loved the last playlist - can’t wait for this one!


Lakshya title song is the obvious choice for me!
