IDK if it counts as instrumental, but I swear this shit hipnotizes me and takes me to a dark cave which is warm and peaceful at the same time. It’s Aphex Twin’s “Stone in focus”.
There’s a cover of it by Benoit Pioulard that is quite good.
I’ve listened to it, and kudos for having the balls to cover such piece, but come on. Nothing sounds like “Stone in focus”. Close you eyes and play it, it’s like a 10 minute vacation.
Don’t get me wrong, the original is great. The cover was the version I stumbled upon first though and I find it more relaxing, especially when I am in pain.
I stumbled across this years ago and listen to it as loud as I can when I’m in a bad mood. It works.
“Journey of the Sorcerer” - Eagles
Side note, it was used as the theme for the original Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy BBC radio show.
Now playing Sabaton - White Death
Prelude and Fugue in C minor by Bach (BWV 847)! Also this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx8ooc-s7OQ
Probably not what you’re chasing, but when i need to sit down at my computer and get some work done while focusing i listen to this on repeat all the time
It’s just zelda low-fi beats. It allows me to lock in and get shit done
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.
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 you initially wanted.
Revolutionary optimism before I knew what it was, haha.
Also that sometimes things can get so bad you gotta be a tiny bit illogical to stay sane. 😅
Muse - Knights of Cydonia is my goto song when I need motivation.
Loved playing this on Rocksmith.
Just gives me guitar hero flashbacks
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.
What Tool album should I listen to today? I only remember trying and failing to get into them like 15 years ago when I was a nerd. You got a good entry point? It doesn’t necessarily need to be “easy”.
I’d say lateralus or Ænima are probably the easiest to get into as they have the most hits. So you’d be more familiar with it. But fear inoculum is good for the vibes, and smooth listening.
This is my victory song
