In an interesting conversational thread on Twitter, the topic of power, motivation, and energy came up, as it often does, and Laura Fitton wrote: “always wondered what powers the mighty cspenn. Star Wars music?”
Well, music in general. There are some pieces that I find personally motivating, and it’s something that I emphasize everyone should have at hand, on an iPod or CD or computer or whatever it takes. Set aside a personal power playlist for each of the kinds of motivation you need – whether it’s getting your day started, powering through a task, or setting your mind and spirit for the journey home.
Some of my personal favorite selections, not from any one particular mood:
- Superman march by John Williams
- Imperial march by John Williams
- Latte Days and Porter Nights by Matthew Ebel
- Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson
- Rockstar Poor by Rayko KRB
- Angel by Aerosmith
- I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith
- Scared by Ball in the House
- Moonlight Sonata by Ludwig v. Beethoven
- Two Thousand Years by Billy Joel
- Mine Again by Black Lab
- I Am (acoustic) by Munk
- Time to Start by Blue Man Group
- Rest in Peace by Joss Whedon and James Marsters
- Life is a Highway Rascal Flatts cover of Tom Cochrane
- Bring me to Life by Evanescence
- Calling Baton Rouge by Garth Brooks
- Estranged by Guns ‘N Roses
- Everywhere by Michelle Branch
- I Do by Rob Costlow
- Warriors by Ronan Hardiman
- The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel
- Old City Bar by Trans-siberian Orchestra
