Trust The Light - KNOWER One of those “I’m dealing with heavy shit and need some help getting out of bed” songs. Not traditionally “motivational-sounding”, but idk it works for me.
And probably most of the Undertale OST. Idk I put a lot of emotional weight behind a lot of those tracks.
The Shaggs - Wheels
X GON GIVE IT TO YA
only partway joking.
I know it’s kinda basic but either the Gurren Lagaan music or just a rewatch of the show/movie.
Never fails to shake me out of a stupor and remind me that no matter the obstacles life throws at you, there’s always a way forward, even if it might not be the way forward you initially wanted.
Revolutionary optimism before I knew what it was, haha.
Also that sometimes things can get so bad you gotta be a tiny bit illogical. 😅
This is my victory song
Muse - Knights of Cydonia is my goto song when I need motivation.
Rhino by Solander, for me - it’s a very understated song but the slow build never fails to pick me up

Tool definitely takes the edge off. If it’s been a rough day… Massage chair and vibing to tool, all of their songs. It doesn’t suddenly bring a smile to my face but it definitely smooths the rough edges, if that makes sense.
What Tool album should I listen to today? I only remember trying and failing to get into them like 15 years ago when I was a nerd. You got a good entry point? It doesn’t necessarily need to be “easy”.
I’d say lateralus or Ænima are probably the easiest to get into as they have the most hits. So you’d be more familiar with it. But fear inoculum is good for the vibes, and smooth listening.
Dvorak - Carnival Overture https://youtu.be/Hv2F_DGKPCY?is=0mJy9LtczVhdtbcE
Love Sensation - Loleatta Holloway
Star Love - Cheryl Lyn
Dance What 'Cha Wanna - Loleatta Holloway
Souvenirs - Voyage
The Main Theme from Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild
Holding Out For A Hero - Jennifer Saunders (Shrek 2 Soundtrack)
It’s more than a little on the nose, but Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollility by Holst, especially this abridged arrangement, is something I reach for at the end of a rough day. Usually stops me from going to bed mad, or in a thought spiral.
That it’s a relic of the flash mob fad from however many years ago doesn’t hurt, either. A spoonful of ironic nostalgia helps the medicine go down.
Thank you
Pumpkin and JPOD. Both are DJs. Listen to their full DJ sets, like on sound cloud, etc.
