Your best "waking up" music?

Mushroom Queen · **Posted:** October 21st, 2009, 2:43 pm

I need music when I wake up. It's almost like coffee to me and if I don't get my music, I get snappy at everyone. Usually I'll put on some Muse or Dream Theater and it'll ease me into the conscious world more easily. I can't have anything too rough, but anything too soft will make me want to fall back asleep again.

So tell me what music helps you wake up!

My computer turns itself on at 7:30 in the morning provided I leave it in standby overnight, plays music on shuffle from this playlist and then turns itself off after 30 minutes.

Wow, Chief. I'm starting to wish my computer was in my bedroom. That sounds like an awesome setup. Knights of Cydonia is such a bad *** song. Is Anberlin a good band? I've only ever heard about them once on the radio and I thought the person was saying "Anne Boleyn".

It would be great if my computer's fans weren't so noisy.

I have my stereo attached to the computer as the side speakers in a 7.1 arrangement so that I can leave my computer speakers off, and the stereo turns itself on at the same time as the computer does in the morning. It's a really over-the-top kind of way to wake myself up but at least I don't have to burn a new CD every time I want to change the music in my playlist.

Anberlin is a great band. I never thought of their name that way before but that's a good point XD. Cities and Never Take Friendship Personal are my favourite albums, before New Surrender, the newest one. I guess you can see favourite songs from that playlist.

Under Pressure-David Bowie & Queen
Pretty much anything Aerosmith, Boston or Journey.

There you go.

Yeah I joke. Tho setting that off full blast at 4am would be a rather funny thing to do. Think about it.

....LOLOLOLOL. Again; 4AM full blast = very funny. Think on it. Tbh that might be a good option if i heard that in the morning I'd laugh. Laughing is good for waking up.

Ok ok ok..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gISImZ6xkbY - This song is cool now cause it's not sung by a complete and utter ****. Dance out of bed!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZUKwKWmEdY - bit of an iffy one that. Prog rock. Not much to it lyrical just some real interesting instruments real upbeat stuff.

Take your pick!

I like it when people make topics like this. It gives me an excuse to root through old songs/bands long forgotten.

Oh almost forgot this one too for sure:

Usually a good and loud buzzer does the trick for me.

I dont know, if you wanted some music, maybe buy something that you hate so you dont get relaxed.

Ummm I don't really know what music wakes me up, but the song "Good Morning" by Kanye West wakes me up whenever I hear it.

Usually if I feel especially groggy, a shower always wakes me up the best, provided I have time. I don't really have specific music that I wake up to; normally I'll just flick through my iPod and choose something.

For some reason whenever I'm tired I have to listen to hall of the mountain king, which makes absolutely no sense because I barley ever listen to any classical music

I wash my teeth to wake up. Music in the morning? No thanks
