What Music Wakes You Up in the Morning?

**Drew Wilson** · January 6th, 2009, 07:19 AM

Mornings. I hate 'em. If I could, every day would end at 2AM and start at noon. Unfortunately, some days, mornings is a fact of life. So I use music to get me going in the morning.

When I first wake up, I deliberately listen to music I don't like. I wake up slower this way. I found out that when I listen to good music, I wake up quickly and the grogginess carries over to the rest of the day. Then again, I'm a rare phenominon of never drinking coffee and I'm over 20 and still going strong as well. It's also how I regularly find out that todays music is complete and utter crap.

However, once I get a meal down in the morning, I turn on some good music that really get's me going in the morning.

So, I'm just starting a thread to find out what other people use to wake themselves in the morning.

For me, it's at least these two songs:

DJ Eco - Light at the End (Lost World Remix)
Sunny Lax - Mique (Original Mix)

I'm also going to try this today:

MorganKing and GeorgiosTsikriteas (Argyros) - Heaven of Inspiration

NPR wakes me up every morning and plays in the shower. By the time I get to work I know what's going in in the world.

I listen to "But You're Mine" by Sonny and Cher which is always playing on the clock radio every morning at 6:00 am.

Not much wakes me up in the morning. Ive periodically slept through my radio, buzzer, etc. My alarm has 21 alarm settings and I still sleep though my alarm.

I like White Zombie's 1965 first thing, or like Ministry's Thieves and Liars, shit that gets the blood pumping in a nearly psychotic way.
Also goes really well with a bagel and coffee.

I had my stereo alarm system set up to play Thunder Kiss'65 for a LONG time, great song! You don't even make it to the lyrics, you're instantly up. For me, that song is one of those that make me just want to party.
