View Full Version : Music you wake up to?
Is there music you wake up to? Something that brings you out of your morning slumber and readies you to take on your day?
At 6:30am when i wake up for work i feel pretty much dead, i shower, eat something if i feel i can stomach it that early and catch the bus down to the train station. On the train i pop in my headphones and wack on Dragonforce or occasionally some Black Majesty and by the time it gets into the city i am wide awake and ready to go.
I listen to Cold As Fire first thing on the bus every morning. The oompa loompa singers make me smile :)
Anything loud and angry. Right now, the two main songs that come to mind are Fall Out Boy - Thnks Fr Th Mmrs and Eminem - Til I Collapse, though I have a local band's cd and Mindless Self Indulgence on my MP3 player instead at the moment.
... yeah, I know I have crazy taste in music.

Jack Johnson and hot chocolate work wonders these days. It's cold.
A radio channel?
if you live in a rural area (like me), morning radio will more likely put you back to sleep, instead of wake you up. Ew @ soft rock. :(

My alarm and sometimes whatever is on KROQ in the morning with Kevin and Bean. Those two crack me up.

Mindless Self Indulgence
<3 They always do it for me.
I haven't had a work/school commute in a while, but I usually listen to whatever I'm into at the time that's upbeat. Anything from like dance/techno to metal. Shrug.
My alarm is a bell/ringing sound though.
Has anyone else got to the point where they hate the sound of their phone alarm, even when they are awake because they associate it with having to get up?
LOL Yeah, I totally do. Sometimes I'll hear the buzzer ring on T.V. or in class and I immediately panic ):

My mobile wakes me up playing the TOPGEAR theme (SNES).
Yes, it is THAT awesome. Try it.
If I'm in the mood for real music .. The Offspring - Come out swinging!

Wake me up before you go-go~ I like singing it out loud while prancing around in my pink hotpants on the bus.
Okay, maybe not, but I did enjoy listening to the live version of Sacrificed Sons by DT on the bus before work. Another song is caramelldansen (http://www.hongfire.com/cg/data/25/caramelldansen.swf). I have the full MP3. :3

I used to wake up with the Mario Bros. Theme on my cellphone. It was working fine 'cause I woke with a damn angry. That music is fcking annoying lol.
Now I can't listen to it. It makes me feel like killing everybody =\
Send Me on My Way by Rusted Root :D
the root is awesome. listening to drum trip and then moving into ecstasy is a nice way to get going.

Has anyone else got to the point where they hate the sound of their phone alarm, even when they are awake because they associate it with having to get up?
I hate the sound of my ringtone, I associate it with work calling me in so often on days I have lie-ins. They've actually called me SO OFTEN that I still shit myself when I hear the tune, despite the fact I have it set for all contacts bar one.
The one other person is someone I really hate, so I set them to the Emperor March or whatever (Darth Vader theme) so I know when they're calling me. Probably won't pick up, they're so damn annoying. I'd also like to note that my brother put the star wars mp3s on my phone, not me. ):
The alarm on my phone is some utter crap that's on by default, I think it's called funky or something. It gradually increases volume for each like 10 seconds you don't switch it off, so I feel kinda bad on my flatmates when I only wake up once it's at max volume cause I have no idea how long it's been on for.
As for actually walking to uni... it's like literally 30 seconds away so I don't even waste time putting on headphones.
Meh, i usually wake up to me beat boxing to myself towards the bus, or listening to Daft Punk And Jamiroquai. Jamiroquai always makes me want to go popping XD; So you'll recognize me if im like Air gliding my way to the bus. >>;
The past few weeks i've been listening to Bone Thugz and Lupe Fiasco a lot. Oh and Chant Down Babylon, a Bob Marley remix which is kick ass. And some rock'n'roll in between... Some Brazilian bands that kick ass, including mine. =)

There was one really weird time though o_O There was some gospel song preaching god and Im not quite sure how my alarm clock got set to it XD
Simple.

I usually listen to talk radio when I wake up. I used to have my alarm set to music, but it doesn't do that great of a job--rather adding a kickass soundtrack to my dream.

Within ~30 minutes of waking up I have any multitude of heavy metal, death metal, thrash metal, or any other type of metal on on MP3 player going kind of loud. By first class, roughly 2 hours after I wake up, I'm ready to go for the 2 hours of class I have xD;

I wake up in the morning and turn on some Queen. Nothing beats getting ready in the morning listening to "WEEE AAARRE THE CHAMPIONS" blasting in a large, empty apartment (my roommates go to class earlier than me).

I listen to juelz, cassidy, ludacris, iron maiden, or amon amarth in the morning on my way to work or school.
Favorite morning songs:
Amon Amarth - Death In Fire
Amon Amarth - Versus The World
Cassidy - A.M. to P.M. (hottest track ever)
Ludacris - Move Bitch (this is really an any time driving song)
Iron Maiden - The Trooper (I never played guitar hero and I guess it's played out beacuse of that game, but it will forever live on in my ~*heart*~)
Papoose - Probably one out of two songs on any of his million mix tapes
Juelz - lots of shit
trance, psytrance, maybe some prog house

Yeah that's pretty crazy. o.o;
Don't wake up to anything. I have some sort of ability to always wake up 30min before I have to leave to anywhere. When I get on the greyhound though, I might turn on my ipod.

It depends on my mood in terms of which songs really wake me up but I take a GO Bus 5 times a week so I definitely NEED a song to wake me up or i'll end up sleeping on the way to uni :P. I don't think there's ever been ONE song that always wakes me up. It changes from time to time.

K i just found a new song to add to my playlist... shit lol. It doesn't have as much of a hook as i'd like it to but I really like it. It's pretty mellow and reminds of a "One Republic" vibe except people are rapping.
