What I listen to before my big events. Not necessarily in order of my favorite, just the ones I think of first. Some will include a description, but not all of the, because I don't have reasons for listening to all of them. Just some.
1. Hall of Fame - The Script. I listen to this one because it's a great pump up song. It's constantly saying, yeah, you could be the best. Just a really positive song in general
2. All star - Smash Mouth. I listen to this one because it's saying, you can be great. You can be amazing. Often, I will change the lyrics to my special swimming ones.
3. One thing - One Direction. I really like this one. It's so positive, and I like the tune. It's saying that we're all special, we all have that one thing.
4. Fireflies - Owl City. I like this one. That's about it. No more reasoning other than I like it.
5. I'm a believer - Smash Mouth. I'm a believer! I believe I can do it!
6. Time of your life - Green Day? I think? Pretty sure? I really like this one because it's telling you to enjoy it while you can. This should be everybody's philosophy for life.
7. Good Time - Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen. It's telling you life is always fun, and you should enjoy it while you can because "it's always a good time"
8. Build me up buttercup - The Foundations? I like it. It brings me back to times of High School season on the bus.
9. Dark Lord Funk KFACETV. A parody of uptown funk. It satisfies my Harry Potter nerdieness before I go swim.
10. The Middle - Jimmy Eat The World? I like this one. It's so positive, telling you not to care about what others say, just do what you want.
11. Everybody Talks - I have no clue who sings this one. I like it. I just do, it's got a nice melody, and is very catchy.
12. We didn't start the fire - again, I have no clue who sings this one. I like this one because it's sort of angsty. It's fun. Plus, it's very catchy.
13. Good Life - One Republic. Telling you life is good, you just have to enjoy it. One Republic has a lot of positive songs.
14. I lived - One Republic. Telling you to enjoy the life you had, so when you're on your deathbed, you can say "I lived" instead of "well, that was a sucky life"
15. Viva La Vida - Coldplay. I like it. I just do. "I used to ruuuuuuule the world"
16. Superheroes - The Script. Great song, amazing message. Telling you to try your best, and "every day every hour turn the pain into power", and you can do great things.
17. Safe - Westlife. Great song, good for when you're feeling down, and need somebody to tell you somebody will keep you safe. (Guys, if you're looking to impress a girl, sing this to her. It'll make her very happy.) Also, it's from dolphin tale, so, another plus.
18. I'm yours - Jason Mraz. Another dolphin tale song! I legit, had this song stuck in my head for like, a week, and it was great. But it got annoying, but it's still a good song.
19. Party in the USA - Miley Cyrus? Yes, it's cheesy. But it's another song reminiscent of High School season, and it's really catchy.
20. I want it that way - The Beatles (I think?). More High School swimming! But yeah, it's a great song in general.
21. I will survive - I have no clue. So, this technically is talking about a broken relationship, but you can use it to survive practice too!
