I like the song of The Journey Band for me their song and title gives a lot of meaning about improving your self and the quality of your life. Well here is my favourite songs from the Journey Band with their new vocalist Arnel Pineda

Never Walk Away
How it takes to win
Change for the better
Be Good To your Self

YouTube - Flobots - Handlebars (with Lyrics)

Not sure how to add youtube videos so here's the link to Flobots - Handlebars.

A sad song but the message motivates me to keep struggling.

21st century breakdown by Green Day. It's streaming today. One of the most inspiring things I have ever heard. Punk rock FTW!

I'm sorry I won't give you songs of a title, but I have a good article on motivation:

Motivation for Smart People (Sans Chest Pounding)

It explains why emotional motivation(like from music) is not the best.

I would suggest next songs for motivation and picking yourself up:

YouTube - Maino feat. T-Pain - All The Above (High Quality Music Video)

YouTube - Fabolous Feat Jeremih It's My Time

and these are for kind of a spiritual motivation:

YouTube - Hawaiian African Tribal Music - Fiji Chant of The Islands

YouTube - Wonderful Africa Chill Out Music

Disturbed- Indestructible (a proper Power tune!!)
Disturbed- I'm Alive
Training Montage from Rocky IV (my favourite)
Eye of the Tiger
Chris Rea- You Can Go Your Own Way
Rotersand- DTL (Dare To Live) (reminds me of Steve )

To be honest I don't listen to that much motivational music on a regular basis (except the training montage) but those are my favourites.

Me too!!!

Also - 10k Fists by Disturbed. That's when I'm gearing up for justice of some kind. I have a court-type thing I have to do tomorrow and I'm going to be blasting that until I win.

I also like:

Gods of War - Manowar
Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill) - Blind Guardian
October Sky - Edenbridge
and practically everything off of the Primo Victoria album by Sabaton

Yeah, I'm a metalhead

It must be my inner Klingon warrior chick... something about this music raises my energy and gets me ready to go into battle for my very life... which is every day we're alive

Hell yeah!

Exclamation

Here are some amazing songs that inspire me:

YouTube - blind melon acoustic "change"

YouTube - Ukulele weeps by Jake Shimabukuro

YouTube - Josh Woodward: Afterglow

YouTube - Tegan and Sara "Here I Am"

YouTube - on the brightside official music video

YouTube - Straylight Run - "Existentialism on Prom Night" Victory Records

YouTube - Joni Mitchell-California (BBC)

YouTube - Damien Rice - Cold Water

YouTube - Girls - "Lust For Life" (official video)

YouTube - Nick Drake - My Sugar So Sweet

YouTube - Lady Gaga Telephone

YouTube - walk with me- bedlight for blue eyes

Lots of these are live or covers - very intentional. They are specifically the versions that move me. I find recently, I am seeking out songs that are not necessarily uplifting. Not exactly depressing, but not cheery. These are the kinds of songs I absolutely love, and therefore a seemingly very depressing song can actually lift me up and keep me from the edge. One good example is Nick Drake's Black Eyed Dog. Here: YouTube - Nick Drake- Black Eyed Dog

The only time motivational music works for me is when I workout.

I like working out to Rage Against the Machine myself. When I'm strength training, aggressive type music seems to pump me up.
