One Republic's "I Lived". Coupled with the super hero pose in the wings before I go on stage. It works every single time! I'm speaking to 1000 people next week and this made me double check my phone to make sure my iTunes were synching because I just got a new phone. And guess what? My playlists were gone!!!!! You just saved me from a nervous breakdown!!! Music restored. Sanity saved.
Valerie June's "Endless Tree" is a community and connection anthem I've needed regularly. ("Joy, Joy" from same album could be soundtrack for your post on that topic.) "Life We Rent But Love Is Free" by SAULT. "Step Aside," Sleater-Kinney. Others, all depends.
Great idea brought back to life for me. My walk-up song, actually in dance was any disco song that began with a prelude before the music started. You are testing my memory now, Elizabeth. I could look up the songs, so some research, and respond tomorrow. But, I'm going to stay in the moment and lock in now. I'd say "Stayin' Alive," by the Bee Gees would be a good example. I thought I was John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever." And, as a disco roller skater, the same walk up applied before we all skated counter clockwise in the roller rink in Chicago on those hot summer nights.

Love this! And thank goodness you checked!
I have no idea how a post you made in February showed up in my feed today, but the magic of Substack is glorious.
Totally amazing and meant to be! Plus now I’m following you!
