Fight Songs----a bit off topic

YATCOMW

A very good friend of mine who has the most incredible heart has been diagnosed with MS. He is in his thirties and a single dad with a 3 year old daughter. I want to buy a shuffle and put some "fight songs" on it and give it to him....something to listen to as he runs/works out.

I wonder if anyone could recommend a play list? Did you have a fight song that got you through tough moments?

My most favorite: Rodney Atkins 'If you are going through hell"

I would crank this up so loud and it would get me back in the game;)

Would you girls/guys give me some of yours?

I used to cry when "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten came on during my run.

"This is my fight song,
Take back my life song."

I know religious music doesn't appeal to everyone, but this is one of my favorite videos of all time.

On my way to chemo I listened to Time of Dying by Three Days Grace. Bob Marley's Three Little Birds might be good for your friend.

on days when I am in pain or feeling sorry for myself I listen to "The Battle of Yorktown " from the Hamilton soundtrack. Specifically the Hercules mulligan part, when he says , " we in the s*** now, somebody's gotta shovel it. I'm Hercules Mullugan, I need no introduction; when you knock me down I get the f*** back up again"

It reminds me who I am.

YATCOMW

I love that Herculesmulligan...........for all the rock stars on this site..... I hope it reminds us all of who we are......

Can't no body do me like Jesus by Andre Crouch. The Lyric goes like this

Cant no body do me like Jesus repeat repeat bc he is my friend

I said heal my body and did he and he told me to run on

This is the second song I found on Youtube when I was down after BMX and it helped me dearly.

I agree.....any music that is motivating, inspiring or upbeat makes me feel I can beat this beast!

(I am now going to watch the video again)

"My Shot," as long as we're talking Hamilton. (Fantastic show--even my husband who hates rap loved it).

"No Surrender" by Bruce Springsteen ca. 1984. (Subject matter is different--but I love the refrain "We made a promise we swore we'd always remember: no retreat, baby, no surrender"). And speaking of the Boss, "Badlands," for its classic lines "It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive" and "Keep pushin' till it's understood that these Badlands are treatin' us good." And Bonnie Raitt's "I Will Not be Broken."

Speaking of Broadway: "And I Am Telling You I Am Not Going," "Stick it to the Man," "You'll Never Walk Alone," and "Climb Every Mountain."

Six years later, I still cry every time I watch "Overcomer"!
