Hype Song

You ever just wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Or maybe just not ready to face the day? It happens to me every once in a while. Sometimes we just arent in the mood to people or adult. Am I right?

Well I have been thinking about music and how it can literally set the stage. The Oscar’s have a score for every event, every award. Tv shows have crazy intros that you hear and prepare for the show. Star athletes have pump up music or build ups when they enter the arena. I may not be a super star but why shouldn’t I feel like one going into my day. We are all uniquely special and we deserve to start our day feeling like we can conquer the world.

I haven’t exactly found my personal version yet but I have asked a couple of my girl friends for theirs. I have also looked up some of what the internet says are good hype songs for woman. I haven’t been disappointed so far in what I have found.

My nurse friend gave me this one. White Flag by Joseph. Favorite lyrics in the song are “They say ‘you better give up, you’d better give up” I’ll say I’ll never give up, I’ll never give up” Ill be an army, no you’re not gonna stop me getting through”. Don’t let anyone ever tell you to give up on yourself or your dreams. It goes on to say burn the white flag. Meaning never surrender!!

I think we all have that one friend who is one with the universe. My yoga girl sent me Pretty Girl Magic by Moonlight Scorpio. I have watched this friend grow immensely over the last two years. She has put herself first, gone after what she has wanted and is manifesting her dreams. The lyrics that stood out in this one are “Let go of what hurt me, the things that no longer serve me”. It goes on to say “from my past I continue to rise , I know that everything is going to turn out just fine. I just ask the universe and the universe supplies.”  I don’t always believe in the universe but I doo believe that our past can affect our future if we hold on to it too long. Learn from the past and start believing in yourself.

And last but not least, the good old internet search. I came across a list called 53 Empowerment Songs for Women. Brave by Sara Bareillas, Fighter by Christina Aguilera, Confident by Demi Lovato, just to name a couple. But one I didn’t know was Most Girls by Hailee Steinfeld.

Lyrics “You know some days you feel so good in your own skin, but its ok if you wanna change the body that you came in. Cuz you look the greatest when you feel like a damn queen, we are all just playing a game in a way, tryna win at life”  Goes on to say “Most girls are smart and strong and beautiful. Most girls work hard, go Farr, we are unstoppable. Most girls, our fight to make every day, no two are the same.”

I want to be like most girls. Everyday is a battle, if not in the actual world but even in our own minds. We can change so many things about us from our hair to the shape of our bodies, to how we feel about where we are in life. We have to choose to be unstoppable and go for the things we want. I want to be unstoppable. I want the universe to be on my side and I want to never back down!

These songs may not be your thing, they might have not struck home for you like they did for me. And I am still looking for the one song that has all the words in my head expressed in lyrics and rhythm. But I am creating a play list to get me out of my funk on those mornings where getting up just doesn’t sound appealing. Creating the playlist that gets me excited, feeling powerful, inspired, motivated. I challenge you to go out there and find your own version of hype!!
