Good songs to wake up to?

[capper42]

I'm terrible at getting up in the morning. I think it's probably one of my biggest flaws, and I hate it. I'm not determined to break out of this. I tried using a clock radio as an alarm for a bit, but hated waking up to idiots talking shit (there never seems to be any music on in the morning (on UK radio at least).

Because of that, I've just downloaded an alarm that will let me choose a song to wake up to. So escapist, what do you like to be woken up to? Any morning song recommendations? And for the sake of discussion, what do you use as an alarm?

This works a treat for me.

For the first few seconds I imagine I'm awaking up to the glorious African dawn, with the beautiful landscape stretching as far as the eye can see away from my bedroom window.

Then I realize I'm in a small student flat in gray, dreary Birmingham.

Still does the trick wonderfully though.

That's actually perfect. Genuinely excited to wake up now.

What a great day... for kicking ass.

How about this?

Isn't it just!

Glad to be of help, hopefully even the fact that its Monday tomorrow won't hinder you waking up with that to help.

I use the this to get going in the morning...

Spoiler: If this doesn't get you going, nothing will

FUCK YEAH, IT'S A NEW DAY!

I actually considered that but I'm worried it would drive me insane.

Nah, I have Mondays off so it just feels like an extended weekend. I think that's probably why I have so much difficulty getting up to be honest.

Personally I use 'AppAlarm Pro' (on Android, I'm sure there is an iOS or Windows Phone variant) which allows you to use a Pandora station to wake up to, which I found is very effective at rousing me from my coma like slumber. The app also allows the use of 'Slacker Radio' and something else I can't recall, if that's more your style.

I think we could achieve world peace if every body woke up to this song.

Do I win?
Seriously though, this just puts me in a good mood for the majority of the rest of the day if I listen to it in the first hour of my morning.

 

[Scarim Coral]

To me, it would be this. It's so cherry to be woken up to!!

 

[Lynx]

Ooooh, definitely this one! I've loved it ever since the introduction of Desmond on Lost. Gets me PSYCHED!

My phone alarm just shuffles throgh all my songs so I've got experience in this field... You do not want to wake up to White Death by Sabaton, by the way...

Best song to wake up to has to be In a Glade by Milla Jovovich


It's delightful. That is if you want to wake up peacefully.

If you need to get up and GO straight away then of course you need...
