A curious inquiry:

I was listening to my workout playlist while running yesterday and ended up thinking about motivation and music. I have a playlist to motivate me to move during my workouts, so I wondered if there could be one to motivate studying.

Are there any songs you listen pre-study to pump you up?

For example, there were a couple of songs on my running playlist that could apply to studying as well:

‘Love Runs Out’ by OneRepublic (I have a love/hate relationship with this exam)

‘You Get What You Give’ by New Radicals

And for when I finally pass: ‘Best Day of My Life’ by American Authors

I listen to classical while studying. When I need to get pumped I got run a few miles and build the endorphins up.

Classical as well here. I have a few Andrea Bocelli albums I put on.

There is also a cool mozart channel on Pandora. It's classical instruments playing new stuff. There is a violinist group that plays Metallica.

I listen to, in no particular order: nature sounds, white noise, Gregorian chanting, ambient, deep house, triphop, classical, and various other soothing/relaxing tunes. 🙂

Motivation music? For some odd reason AC/DC's ‘Money Talks' has always made me think about accounting, thus it motivates me to study for the CPA.

However, I can't listen to any music while studying. Not even classical. Since I have a music background, I have the type of mind that dissects any music that may be on at the moment. And my guess is that music distracts all people to some extent.

I like listening to progressive, techno, and deep-house (back and forth w/ Frisky and Proton radio).

A pump up song for me is Eminem “Not Afraid” and Maino “All the Above”, “Ho Hey” puts me in good mood and “Pompeii” from Bastille reminds me of my wedding day so that just makes me happy. I mean it works for me, so yeah LOL. It always gets me pumped. As far as studying I listen to The Mozart Effect on Pandora. For the second song specifically the lyrics below.

Tell me what do you see
When you looking at me
(woooahhhh)
On a mission to be
What I'm destined to be
(woooahhhh)
I done been through the pain and the sorrow
The struggle is nothing but love (nothing but love)

Thank you for making me struggle,
Thank you for making me grind
I perfected my hustle,
Tell me the world ain't mine
You've been seein' me lately,
I'm a miracle baby
I refuse to lose….

When I think that I can't,
I envision Obama,
I envision the diamonds,
I envision Ferraris
