Im sure this has been asked before however I'm just wandering if it's a ' thing'
Does anyone else have a song/songs which really pump you up ready for the day/event?
Mines currently Unstoppable by Sia and Invincible by Kelly Clarkson, they both make me feel like I can take on the world, oh and a lot of Pink songs do it as well, but I need more inspiration, do any of you have suggestions?

Shake it out - Florence and the Machine-actually a few songs off of that album do the trick.

JeandeServiette · 19/06/2023 17:01

I read that as people having special songs for potty training. Grin

I know it’s cheesy but Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves never fails to give me a boost.

Favourite “fuck you” song is Yes by McAlmont and Butler - goosebumps every time!

Alisha's Attic - I am, I feel for when I am really pissed off with being treated badly.

SuperSonicAyeAye · 19/06/2023 17:37

Not quite the same but with my anxiety I find trying feel calmed helps, so I'm listening to "give it to the water" by Debbie and Stormzy a lot, although it does end with you feeling quite pumped!

Not a fan of this genre at all but it has been played full blast a number of times on way home from a bad day at work.

Oh that brings me back. I was massively into Alisha's Attic when I was 12. Used to to try to recreate their eyeshadow. I was deeply unsuccessful 🤣
