Are there any songs or instrumental music that consistently motivate you or lift your mood?

    Actually, I’m a musicologist from Leipzig (Germany) the town “Where Music Was Invented”, and I’ve been studying this hypothesis for the last 45 years. Alas, I could neither proof it right nor wrong, so that’s 45 years of effort down the drain, I didn’t get tenure as a result, and I now have to fill the regale at Aldi to make ends meet. It’s quite fucking frustrating. As you can well imagine, I hardly listen to music these days, so I can’t provide you with an answer, sorry.

    I could put together a list of instrumental house music that I find uplifting, but not sure if that’s the sort of thing you want?

    I like the synthwave playlists on streaming services. Keeps me in the zone while reading scifi and lifts my mood when I’m not reading

  • Pumpkin and JPOD. Both are DJs. Listen to their fill DJ sets, like on sound cloud, etc.

    Tool definitely takes the edge off. If it’s been a rough day… Massage chair and vibing to tool, all of their songs. It doesn’t suddenly bring a smile to my face but it definitely smooths the rough edges, if that makes sense.

    It’s more than a little on the nose, but Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollility by Holst, especially this abridged arrangement, is something I reach for at the end of a rough day. Usually stops me from going to bed mad, or in a thought spiral. That it’s a relic of the flash mob fad from however many years ago doesn’t hurt, either. A spoonful of ironic nostalgia helps the medicine go down.

    I know it’s kinda basic but either the Gurren Lagaan music or just a rewatch of the show/movie. Never fails to shake me out of a stupor and remind me that no matter the obstacles life throws at you, there’s always a way forward, even if it might not be the way forward I initially wanted. Revolutionary optimism before I knew what it was, haha.

    Trust The Light - KNOWER One of those “I’m dealing with heavy shit and need some help getting out of bed” songs. Not traditionally “motivational-sounding”, but idk it works for me. And probably most of the Undertale OST. Idk I put a lot of emotional weight behind a lot of those tracks.
