my current most inspirational song
Quote | Reply
go to thebeloved.com and the song should start playing. or go to downloads and look for "deliver me."

remember when that nike/lance mpeg was posted a while back and everyone wanted to know about the soundtrack... well this is kind of like that but worse... i first heard the song not on a nike ad but on a beer ad - it was an NZ beer called steinlager. they had an ad in black&white no sound except for this track playing and you saw the story of a young boxer training and drinking beer with his salt of the earth dad before facing an intimidating mike tyson-esque boxer.... the catch line is "know who you are." damn those ad execs... i was/am really moved by a beer ad!

turns out you can see the ad at steinlager.com (the "know who you are" ad).

i realize it is an ad for a shitty beer but the motto "know who you are" for me at least resonates hugely. Reminds me of grip's saying: be your own hero. also, the lyrics of deliver me i find absolutely profound and moving on many levels and, to their credit, the ad execs really tap into that power in the ad. every time i hear that song i want to run barefoot on some windswept beach.

The "theme" song to CSI New York is "Baba O'Reilly" by The Who.

So, maybe I am clueless but how do I download that song as an mp3 for my portable player? I tried dragging it to the desktop etc etc but it only comes up as a link?
BTW, it IS a great song. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, that Eminem song is good before a race. Also like Right Now - Def Leppard, Judgement Night - Onyx ( I think, its from the Judgement Night Soundtrack), Touched - VAST (in Step into Liquid, Laird catches the biggest wave I have ever seen with this playing, gets me fired up thinking about it), and some Moby that fires me up for some reason.

Watching The Wheels tends to hit me pretty good. It's always nice to know I'm not alone, although the guy who wrote that piece is dead, hmmm.

My new discovery is 'Freak on a Leash' by Korn. I couldn't name another Korn song, but this one really gets me going.

well, lately I've had some crazy things come up in my business, and the song, "Smiling Faces" makes me feel better (smiling faces tell lies, sometimes, they don't tell the truth--can you dig it?--smiling faces, etc. beware of the handshake!, etc). this song brings me satisfaction and I find myself thinking, "that's right!" when i hear it. i can relate for sure.

in terms of motivation, AC/DC's Hells Bells makes me want to go crazy, as does Have a Drink on Me. Jump by Van Halen, Teenage Wasteland by the Who is a pretty good high energy song too. Also on the Woodstock boxset there are some high spirited freedom songs that always get me in a rebelious ass-kickin mood.

here's some of my favorite lyrics, I believe by Country Joe...

"Be the first one on the block to have your boy come home in a box! and it's one two three, what are we fighting for? don't ask me I don't give a damn, the next stop is Vietnam, and it's five six seven-open up the pearly gates, well I ain't got time to wonder why, WOOHOO we're all gonna die! Alright!"

In case y'all haven't heard - RAP IS DEAD!!!! Nothing but a bunch of posers.

Isn't "Right Now" by Van Halen, with Sammy Haggar? Still a great song though.

no argument here but that is still a good working out song.
