What inspires you?

The other day, a friend of mine told me that she thought the most inspirational song ever was the theme tune to 'Pokemon'. Really?! But that got me thinking, what songs inspire me? Here we go:

Not Ready To Make Nice - Dixie Chicks

Anyone remotely familiar with the story of the Dixie Chicks will know just how inspirational this song can be and is. When the world turns their back on you, you come back stronger and more sure of yourself.

Lose Yourself - Eminem

If this can inspire Eminem, I think it has the power to inspire me.

Ruff Ryders Anthem - DMX

This is just more from personal experience... some great moments warming up to this song before high school volleyball matches.

Gladiator Theme Song

Can't help but be inspired by the theme song to a great film.

I Believe I Can Fly - R Kelly

This song paints a picture in my mind of Michael Jordan flying through the night sky. From one of the most determined basketballers of all time, you almost get inspiration infused in you. Trust me.

Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve

No real story here, just a great song!

I'm sure there are more... but what are yours?
