Motivation songs

  • What are some of the songs that motivate you to work just that little bit harder. I would of posted this in the 'off topic' part.. But I think being 300+ we really need everything that can and will help us get motivated. That's why I posted it here.

    One of the songs that most motivate me is called

    "Get Me Out." By Crystal Bowersox I feel like I really relate to that song right now and it makes me want to work out and get myself better to where I dont feel that.

    There's not a really clear version because it was just released on her EP a couple days ago (I was privileged to be able to received the EP awhile back because my friend went to the concert she handed them out at.) I had to wait till her EP was relased to be able to post these lyrics.. LOL
    Lyrics:

    There’s too many word in my mind to build sentences
    But there’s enough bricks in my soul to build walls
    Fences and things that are shore to keep intruders out

    And maybe you think that I just lost my senses
    I feel you dismiss me like a child so defenseless
    I can’t even keep a straight face I perpetually pout

    Get me out of this mess that I’m in
    This just keeps bringing me down get me out

    Out of all the places I’ve been
    This place keeps holding me in
    Get me out
    Get me out

    Once was a time when my skin was so thin
    You could see right through all of me to my organs
    And god put his finger up to my mouth and said shut up.

    Time it went by and made me learn lessons made me judge quicker
    And put up defenses
    And changed all I know of humanity right into doubt

    Get me out of this mess that I’m in
    This just keeps bringing me down get me out

    Out of all the places I’ve been
    This place keeps holding me in
    Get me out

    Get me out of this mess that I’m in
    This just keeps bringing me down get me out
    Out of all the faces I’ve seen
    That’s burning just like gasoline
    Get me out x4
  • Beyonce:
    Get Me Bodied; Green Light; Irreplaceable

    Tina Turner:
    Better Be Good To Me
  • Don't stop by Fleetwood mac!
  • Gotta Be by Des'ree

    "Listen as your day unfolds,
    Challenge what the future holds,
    Try to keep your head up to the sky.
    Lovers, they may cause you tears
    Go ahead, release your fears
    Stand up and be counted
    Don't be ashamed to cry

    You gotta be...
    You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
    You gotta be wiser
    You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough,
    You gotta be stronger
    You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
    You gotta stick together

    All I know, all I know is that Love will save the day"

    Even though this song is about a relationship, I also think about it as loving myself, and being strong in my commitment to get healthy.
  • Madonna Rules!!
    I am of a certain age....OK I am 45..... and Madonna's music has been around most of my life! I am gradually upping my walking mileage and have so far made it from less that half a mile 2 months ago to 3.3 miles today.....all in the company of my awesome golden retriever and Madonna!! Gotta say that Ray of Light is blinking fast to walk to though!!!
    Have the next month planned out to get up to 5 miles then I am off to tackle a few Welsh hills (in the rain of course) in the Brecon Beacons!!
    Good luck everybody!
