On That Note: Motivation

[CycloneRulzzz]

This week is another topic that is personally relevant to me but everyone can relate to it at some point.

Many here on CF know about the personal struggles I'm going through. Along with things like therapy and exercise something that I turn to is music.

For this segment, we are looking for songs you may seek when you need an inspirational and motivational pick-me-up.

We are looking for both songs with directly motivational themes (urging listener to do something) and songs that are uplifting in their message/tone (are intended to just generally make the listener feel better!) are allowed.

With your posts if you could pick a line in the song that really means something to you or why the song lifts you up we'd appreciate that.


"On That Note” is presented weekly by @MeanDean, @cyclones500 and myself.

This is my fight song (hey)
Take back my life song (hey)
Prove I'm alright song (hey, ha)
My power's turned on (hey)
Starting right now, I'll be strong (hey)
I'll play my fight song (hey)
And I don't really care if nobody else believes (ha)
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I put my armor on, I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable

You can go the distance, you can run a mile
You can walk straight through hell with a smile

Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down
By the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
But don't run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I, I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No, I'm not breaking

 

[MeanDean]

When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all
I'm on your side, oh when things get rough

Not sure if it's top-list musically for the theme, but among the first songs that came to me in lyric/title sense.

Song is mainly referring to breast cancer of which my mom is a survivor. Listening to this reminds me nothing I'm going through compares to what she went through.

I could have picked about 1/2 of Van's catalog. The man emotes!


On the morning sun in all its glory
It greets the day with hope and comfort too
And you fill my life with laughter
You can make it better
You ease my troubles, that's what you do

Love is all around, no need to fake it.
You can have the town, why don't you take it.
You're gonna make it after all

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Here we go again, I will not give in
I've got a reason to fight
Every day we choose
We might win or lose
This is the dangerous life
Hey, hey, hey everyday when I wake
They say that I'm gone, they say that they've won
The bell has been rung, it's over and done
Hey, hey, hey when I need to be saved
They counting me out, but this is my round

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Whatever it takes
'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
