I asked for help locating clips of the songs that were put up as songs that get you going or inspire you. You did not fail to deliver.
Dave, who I knew would know places and Steve both sent in what they could find. Dave’s require Windows Media player, but that should be all and Steve’s are video clips from YouTube. My computer will play the video clips, but I can not get the Windows Media files to play, even going to Amazon.com and clicking the link directly. I know the links are correct, so maybe they will work for you (I do have computer issues with WMP).
I have included their comments because they personalize the information to make it better. Thanks guys for all your work, I really appreciate it.
I was unable to find a site to link to with the motivational songs that I posted, but I came across an interesting site that plays videos of the songs:
Dreams by Van Halen(If this Blue Angels video doesn’t get your juices flowing, you may want to check your pulse!):
Unchained by Van Halen(Eddie Van Halen once said in an interview that this was his favorite song — came out the same year he married Valerie Bertinelli):
Cat People by David Bowie(I’m not sure why I like this song so much):
Hope this helps!
