Default Songs that inspire you...

Not all 'inspirational' music has to be the hokey religious kind (but it can be, I suppose, if you like that sort of thing). What songs inspire you? I'm looking mainly for songs that inspire you to stick with something (weight loss, for example), get back up after you fall, pursue something you want, etc. BUT! Anything that inspires you, period, is welcome. Include a link from youtube to the song on for extra points!

Here's a few of mine.

Shake it Out - Florence + the Machine

Dog Days are Over - Florence + the Machine

Katy Perry - Firework

Airplanes - B.o.B.

Born this Way - Lady Gaga

This is War - 30 Seconds to Mars

Sexy and I Know it - LMFAO

You Get What You Give - New Radicals

The Distance - Cake

Float On - Modest Mouse

This is going to sound off the wall, but a song that really motiviates me is Kate Bush's song "Woman's Work". You can find it on YouTube. It is off the wall of a song selection because the song is actually about a woman giving birth and there being some type of complication during delivery. I didn't know this until I really paid attention to the lyrics. I just LOVE the melody of the music. It starts off really sweet and soft, but towards the middle to end of the song, it's very up-lifting. Perhaps that's not the best way to describe it. It's like a music crescendo.

This one is not well known, but it really moves me. It got me through a terrible time with migraines - 20 migraines in the 28 days of February, then I stopped counting.

Right as Rain and Rolling in the Deep by Adele always motivate me, and listening to Cake is always worth while.
