Not a morning person? Need to smell the aroma of freshly brewed coffee to get you off the bed? Hitting the snooze button more than thrice? Although our bodies are all programmed to respond to wake up when sunlight shines through the window, there will be some days that we just cannot open our eyes to get our day started. Don’t worry, when all else fails, try listening to these inspiring songs to get you to wake up motivated to start a new day.

Live like were dying (Kris Allen): former American Idol Kris Allen sings of the millions of possibilities of what can happen in the 86400 seconds that we have in one day, from a plane crash to thinking twice who we let in and who we don’t in our lives.

Dare you to move (Switchfoot): Christian rock band Switchfoot challenges you to face another day in your life without thinking of the mistakes you made.

Ours (Bravery): from the original soundtrack of the movie, Eclipse, Ours emphasizes on how precious moments can be and that these experiences will pass our lives once so carpe diem!

Dog Days are Over (Florence and the Machine): named after the idiom that means a period of stagnation, the clap based tempo of this song reminds us to get rid of our laziness and do something productive.

Hold your dream (Fame OST): Needing an uplifting song with the combination of a soft start, an ethnic kind of tune in the middle with the addition of the church choir classic, and finishes off with the best vocals in her time? This song proves that hard work results in the best possible outcome.

All around the world (Red hot chilli peppers): If the guitar prowess of the opening of this song does not inspire you to pick up that guitar lingering in the corner of your closet, I don’t know which would.

I’m walking on sunshine (Katrina and the waves): This classic song combines its era’s top 40 rhythm with carefree words to listen to and would make you feel like you’re walking on sunshine!

Wake me up before you go go (Wham): Like the song in number 8, this classic is one of the top picks of all time.

Time of my life (Dirty Dancing OST): to find that certain point in our lives that would be the indication of us achieving what this song has is definitely worth waking up to.
