Song idea for a motivational speech?

John Phillips Sousa marches.

This song which was the theme to the mini-series about John Adams, starring Paul Giamatti. It’s super moving and made the hair on my neck stand up everytime I heard it. I hope you like it.

This should do it for you! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLuW-GBaJ8k

Ride of the Valkyries…... :-/

Eye of the Tiger.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

The dog days are over by Florence and the machine. It’s a really nice song that starts out kind of slowly and then breaks in to a up beat rythm and makes you all happy. I dont know if this will fit your speech but have a listen anyway, its great and maybe it will lead you on to another song you just hadn’t thought of. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGrx6etMl0w

One Love

Wake Up Everybody bye Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes.

I used this song for a motivational speech once. It starts out slow and goes louder and louder. It’s by an Icelandic Band called Sigur Ros. It was very effective with my speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmXMA34CeoQ

Another one by the same band this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k574ZlzTo_I&feature=related

Here are other songs that might be effective:
John Lennon – Imagine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b7qaSxuZUg
Bob Marley – Get up Stand up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuMlHdxiIZ8
Rent – Seasons of Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8iTeDl_Wug
Somewhere over the Rainbow – Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwoʻole: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1bFr2SWP1I

Good luck and hope I helped!

Welcome to Rapture from BioShock, or Rabbi E Tarantella from Inglourious Basterds.

@kariper I LOVE that song and you are right—it would make great background music for a motivational talk.

Van Halen’s “Right Now”
