If so, which song?
Right now I use a mix of these two:
+1 for Marc Rebillet
Luke Skywalker’s theme from Star Wars: A New Hope.
Concerning Hobbits. I picked it to try to set the tone for the day, and it usually works. I’m not a morning person so this is about as good as I can get.
Seems like I’d condition myself to hate that song.
That’s exactly what happens lol
“Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and shine. Not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest. And all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until… well, let’s just say your hour has come again. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes.”
That followed by ‘marc rebillet - wake up’
Vanessa Carlton’s “A thousand miles”, mostly for the piano part at the beginning.
Not to mention it’s an absolute banger
Yeah, I use The Ecstacy of Gold from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. It starts quietly and peacefully so doesn’t startle me but builds to a crescendo which guarantees my awake attention.
Nope. I still have From LA to New York etched into my brain in bile and loathing from it playing on a cheap crappy clock-radio alarm I had when it was first released in '76 or whenever. Actually waking up to that song probably only happened a couple of times, but it was enough. I found that I preferred the brain-piercing built in alarm to having any other songs or drivelling DJs hypnogogically imprinting themselves.
These days I have either birdsong or Tibetan chimes instead.
I have created a perfect loop of “Picture this / I’m a bag of dicks / put me your lips” from the intro of Run The Jewels & DJ Shadow’s “Nobody Speak”
austin powers theme.
That’s a pretty groovy tune
Just changed it recently to Init by NIN (Tron Ares soundtrack). YouTube
This soundtrack kicks so much ass on its own that I almost don’t want to watch the movie and understand the context
I will tell you that the soundtrack alone tells a story without a doubt, having listened to it at least a hundred times on repeat. After seeing the movie, all the pieces fit perfectly.
I know others are complaining about the movie and maybe that is dissuading you, but fuck 'em. I don’t pay much mind to others opinions because most people like to play follow the leader and not think for themselves. It’s a great movie and I’m going to see it again before it leaves theaters.
I have a rotation of instrumental ambient playlists like Medieval Ambient and Dungeon Ambient. We’re so used to them, it’s strange not to have them when we’re on vacation.
I have a Garmin fitness watch that only vibrates to wake me up. It’s mildly annoying since it is not as gentle as my old Apple Watch from many years ago. The Apple Watch’s vibration alarm felt like a finger gently tapping my wrist. It was a nice way to gently wake up without disturbing my partner. My Garmin watch vibrates entirely on the lowest setting. I can also hear it audibly vibrate, too.
Edit: fixed typos from mobile keyboard typing
No, right now I’m using the Star Trek TOS bosun’s whistle.
