To ask what's your power song

[PowerupEtc]

The song that gives you a boost of energy when you need a pick-me-up. However silly, naff or crazy, please share.

I'll go first: Believer by Imagine Dragons

Your turn 😎

Cher - you haven’t seen the last of me

The sign - ace of base

I’m usually all about the lyrics but not with this one, I just LOVE the melody, it makes me feel so happy and energised!

Lyrically I’d probably go with Beth Crowley - I am not nothing ♥️

Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder

Slipknot - duality.

Paper Planes - MIA
I'd be the Man - Taylor Swift
Love runs out - one republic
Hit me with your best shot - Pat Benatar
High hopes - Panic at the disco
Up - Demi Lovato and Olly Murray

Glorious - Macklemore , Skylar Grey
Rise - Jonas Blue

living on a prayer

Keep Me Hanging On by Kim Wilde
Open Your Heart by Human League
Ordinary World by Duran Duran
Pride by U2 (huge; just huge)

Also with @HeadNorth about Rage Against the Machine, although I like the moochy start followed by huge, grungy crescendo of Bombtrack.

Titanium and Uprising are also fantastic.

Shut Up and Dance by Walk The Moon
Blinding Lights by The Weeknd

@Luanna1 - yes! I forgot Break My Stride. Also (from similar era) Vienna by Ultravox.

Titanium - Sia

Kelly clarkson - stronger
Christina Aguilara - fighter
Destiny’s child- survivor

@AtomHeartMotherOfGod Vienna, amazing song…. I like to listen to it with my EarPods in on full volume laying on my bed with my eyes closed. SUCH an amazing and powerful music experience!

Return Of The Mack by Mark Morrison

Woman's World - Cher
Has to be loud

@SolitaryTree yes I can imagine - it came up in my mix once as I was out jogging in the middle of a wood; some songs in the open air, or in your equivalent peaceful space, can feel so much more powerful.

Old Man by Love was similar... came on as I was walking to Penge West and the 'you are so lovely, you didn't have to say a thing' bit was like sun through clouds

Move on Up- Curtis Mayfield

Stick that on loud, dance around the kitchen a bit, instant mood boost

'Just move on up toward your destination
Though you may find from time to time complication'

Move on Up and keep on wishing Remember your dream is your only scheme so keep on pushing'

Shiny Happy People by REM

It's an unofficial mash up thing some by a fan to mark them touring together (would have loved to see that) but the bands loved it and gave it an official endorsement

New Attitude by Patti Labelle always puts me in a great mood

Monkey Man by The Specials

A few off the top of my hairdo
