If so, which song?
Yes, I use Lord of the Rings: The Shire Theme (Concerning Hobbits) Epic Version by Samuel Kim.
Seems like I’d condition myself to hate that song.
That’s exactly what happens lol
Yup. I tried it because it sounded like a pleasant way to wake up. Instead I just started hating some of my favorite songs.
When I was in my teens I used Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, by Led Zeppelin as my alarm, over 15 years later and I can’t help but feel like I’m being yanked out of dead sleep every time I hear it.
This.
Now I just have a generic alarm signal because I would like to keep enjoying the music I like
The correct way is to use a song you already hate…
But why would I want to make waking up even more horrible by playing a song I hate? I don’t think there is a way for the songs to win
Mornings are rough, true. But when you hate the song enough, you can make your morning at least slightly better when you make that POS stop.
Right now I use a mix of these two:
+1 for Marc Rebillet
Vanessa Carlton’s “A thousand miles”, mostly for the piano part at the beginning.
Not to mention it’s an absolute banger
austin powers theme.
That’s a pretty groovy tune
Concerning Hobbits. I picked it to try to set the tone for the day, and it usually works. I’m not a morning person so this is about as good as I can get.
No
I use FM radio for a random song or ad to wake me up. It’s the only time I hear the radio on purpose.
I had devil dogs by sabaton as my alarm for a while because all the instruments come in at once and it would jolt me awake.
Luke Skywalker’s theme from Star Wars: A New Hope.
Yeah, I use The Ecstacy of Gold from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. It starts quietly and peacefully so doesn’t startle me but builds to a crescendo which guarantees my awake attention.
This is an amazing choice. I just changed all my alarms.
I’ve learned to use a shuffled playlist to wake up. Different song each day, but pulled from my liked songs.
Now if I can just figure out how to make that happen with Home Assistant instead of Google’s bullshit assistant.
City of the dead by The Rasmus.
