What’s that one song from Titanic?
That song gets me super pumped every time….. or anything by Enya
:)

Nah—- anything with a heavy beat is good though… whatever the last song i heard before going out gets stuck in my head a lot of the times for the entire paddle.. so i gotta be careful with what i listen to. If it’s a junk song i think i’ll go out of my mind on a long workout.
Recently it’s been—- My Favorite Mutiny-By The Coup, Black Thought, and Talib Kweli and The Key to Life vs 15 Minutes of Fame- by Atmosphere…

I see alot of great songs on this thread that I listen to. Looks like we have the same flavor. I like all types of songs from slow jams to hawaiian, or jazz to alternative. I love’m all! But when the curtain comes up, right before the big show begins, I get a little “RETARDED”. My blood slowly rises, the nerves start jumping around, “daddy wants two play ruff”! The pumping music….yeh that “RUSH” music. You know, the noise that hypes you up!

Get It Faster by Jimmy Eat World
Rascuache by At The Drive-In
New Noise by Refused

These are just a taste that sets me off! Try it out, it made me faster………nah! Music does get you in the zone…..that focus zone.

Alohas!

Hi Gents, here in the Land Down Under i like to listen to “Reminiscing” by the “Little River Band”. Reminds me how good i used to be. Then down a “Vegimite Sandwich” and go paddle my heart out and forget all about it.
HeeHee.

See you soon in Maui Don. Only 54 more “sleeps”

Cheers Rambo

the song that gets me fully pumped before a race would have to be
“free bird” by lynard skynard and a close second would be
“playing to win ” by the little river band and a random that always pops up in my head around the 14km mark is play something country by brooks and dunn dont ask me why……
