Inspired Songs Inspiring Inspiration
A 'Jukebox' vibe...
And now, ladies and gentlemen and household pets… shenanigans!
Every now and then I like to cut loose and have a little fun - ‘fun’ with purpose, of course. The last time we did this I posted my first (and thus far only) meme-drop, celebrating the joys and wisdoms and depths of our favorite frog.
This time I have decided to post videos of my favorite ‘inspirational’ songs. And what do I mean by ‘inspirational’ in this case? Songs which keep me motivated, upbeat, and encouraged during this sinister blink in our history.
So grab a tasty beverage, plug in whatever version of headphones you desire, and enjoy some great tunes…
A Storm Is Comin’
Tommee Profitt & Liv Ash
I do not know of a single song which captures the moment in which we currently live better than this one; there are a few which may match it, sure - but I cannot think of one which surpasses it…
Uprising
Muse
These lyrics - danged…
Nothing Is As It Seems
Hidden Citizens (featuring Ruelle)
Anytime you get Ruelle in the mix, goodness is assured; like ‘Storm’ above, this too well-captures our times…
Carry On Wayward Son
Kansas
Lyrics that really hit home today, which is impressive since the song comes from mid-1970s. Besides that, if the hair and duds cannot inspire you?
I got nothing…
Not Gonna Die
Skillet
There are two eras of Skillet - pre-Jen Ledger, and post; this song is from the latter. Her vocals and drums add a completely different dimension to the band, and this song is - in my opinion - the apex of that...
I Don’t Care Anymore
Phil Collins
This may seem like an odd addition to this collection, as it was originally written as a ‘break-up’ song. However… if you think about these lyrics being projected at the media propagandists, social-platform tyrants, and gaslighting ‘scientists,’ all of whom have been attacking Liberty-minded folks like us for decades?
It suddenly transforms into an anthem of defiance…
God We Need You Now
Struggle Jennings & Caitlynne Curtis
Speaking of ‘anthems?’ During the darkest days of the COVID psyop, there were thousands of people who embraced this as a near-spiritual hymn, especially on TikTok; I was one of those people.
Sidebar: Curtis’ vocals always hits me in my feels…
That’s it, folks - hope you enjoyed this somewhat-frivolous Jukebox drop.

Awesome mix. I believe Caitlynne could sing a store list and I'd have to listen.
Dammit I hate mainstream music and I can’t stand vocal that sound to euro but then I watched muse lyrics, turns out there not as shitty as I thought!!!
