When I get down and feel like giving up I always reach for this song and my fighting spirit returns and very quickly I am back up on top again ...
Madagascar
------------------------------------
I won't be told anymore, that I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore, that I can't find my way back, my way anymore ...
Madagascar
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my name, I've changed my face
But no one wants you when you lose
Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good
The Afters are great. Saw them live with Mercy Me some years ago.

“Nemesis”
I want justice for the voice that can’t be heard.
Vindication for every suffering and hurt.
Let retribution hold dominion over earth
Because Judgement Day’s not coming,
Judgement Day’s not coming
Soon enough!
One of my favourites.
Really good on the live version with Paula Cole.
Good thread and good timing. Thanks, man!
For me, it’s been “Drift Away” (I like the Clarence Carter cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yka—ZMyD3Y).
I’m 66 but “Jump” gets me going....
REO Speedwagon: Riding the storm out.
George Thorogood: Bad to the bone.
Anything by ZZ Top
Damn. I’d rather watch that video than the sci-fi crap being pushed nowadays. Good one, mate!
Great choice--definitely an upbeat tune. Note that it makes a reference to the 1939 hit Over the Rainbow.
