What song keeps you going in life? (beehaw.org)

I've had a few throughout mine, but nothing beats Monty Python's "Always look on the bright side of life". It always puts a smile on my face.

Life is cruel and will beat you down, but it can never be able to stop you from getting back up as a stronger person. For me, anyways.

What say you?

Anything by Andrew W.K., but "Music is Worth Living For" seems apropos https://cf.piped.video/watch?v=-CBTyi-ovO8

I Get Wet will pretty much be in the rotation forever.

Picture this: It's one of those perfect days in the shire. You are sitting in your armchair and smoking a pipe of haflings leaf. In front of you is the book with all your best memories. You open it and the first chapter is called Concerning Hobbits.

So... if I had to choose a goto song for my best memories, it would probably be this one.

Do you know about Green Days rendition of that song? Present from their Bullet in a Bible tour of American Idiot recorded live in Milton Keyes, part of King for a Day!

It's awesome, if you like the song it's a fun little bit.

I have many. From Audioslave and Authority Zero to Green Day to Soundgarden, I could never pick just one. But tonight's will be One More Minute by Authority Zero.

Inspirational, but it also makes me cry

It's tough to pick just one, so here are a few that keep me motivated:

Toh Kay - The Hand that Thieves

NoFX - 180 Degrees

Bad Religion - I Want to Conquer the World
