Quiet songs to wake up with

**gamesover** · 12-14-2010, 10:45 PM

Definitely a feel good song for me, and whats better to wake up with then a feel good song, is 'I Can See Clearly Now' by Jimmy Cliff or Johnny Nash. I don't know which version of it is the one I remember, it's been remade a few times. I love the message behind it and when I was a kid I love those RCA television commercials with the dogs in it that featured this song.

First thing that pooped into my mind when I read thread tittle:

A bootleg version of that for the weekends. The intro is long enough for me to transition from oh-my-it's-morning, to alright-let's-get-today-started.

This is the song I wake up to on weekdays. 15 minutes long to time my morning, and the song build-up is great to get my energy flowing quickly.

lol thanks, but as I said, quiet songs, those annoying clocks don't really do the work... I just wanna wake up quietly, not freaked out

Basically I listen to the 5-10 seconds of the song before turning it off, not the whole one.

And what did you think of it?

Check out the 'Post-rock' genre. Very peaceful, melodic, and it's all about slowly building to awesome climaxes.

Here are the lyrics for Phantom Planet's "One Ray of Sunlight":

"One Ray Of Sunlight"

Goodness sometimes things get bad
But I swear
I'm doing all I can
So try all you want to
I'm gonna try too

If I get one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand
Maybe we can be happy again
I'll try for one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand
Maybe we can be happy and then...

Things don't go as I planned
But I swear I'm doing all I can
So try all you want to
I'm gonna try too

If I get one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand
Maybe we can be happy again
I'll try for one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand
And I guess if this isn't the end
Maybe we can be happy again"

I use it as my wake up song because it has sunlight in the lyrics and reminds me of the rising sun, and it's positive so it puts me in a positive frame of mind.
