I Need A New War Song

Generally I listen to a song over and over again as I work, as a way to keep me from getting distracted and taking excessive breaks from what needs to be done --  which can ultimately lead to procrastination.

Procrastination is a big no-no. Procrastination is the enemy.

I need a new war song, one that preferably does not contain lyrics (because discernable words can be distracting). Something that will make me feel like painting lines across my cheeks and type feverishly to the beat.  :guitar: Drums and/or bass are welcome!  ;D

Does anyone use music in the same way? Any suggestions?  8)

I don't use music that way, but I thought you may find Aaron Copland's Fanfare For The Common Man useful.

To name a few. Take your pick with this guy. FUCKING AWESOME! Doesn't even begin to describe how good he is.

You want  stirring war music? Then sample this one. It is The Ride To Dubno.   I am not sure but I think it is a tale about Ukrainian cossacks hauling ass northward to kill  those hated Lithuanians.  Lithuania was once a very large nation with some serious influence.

Here is five minutes of smashing music played by one of the worlds premier orchestras. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asoLIJpvb_w

Enjoy.

I use it as a paddling tune.  From memory, not with a techy player thing.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

It's not instrumental but the words don't come through very well and don't mean much really.

Let me know what you think about the ones I posted. I can turn you on to more. Buckethead is all over the map as far as genre is concerned.

When I absolutely have to get something done, I find this played on a continuous loop useful.  Just as long as it doesn't lead to biting thru anyones jugular.

Yes, I can imagine a bunch of Cossacks riding frantically to that tune, but me being me I can't help but find it humorous.  :P

How about this?



:) Not bad, but better for relaxing than for studying or working. I need something more...aggressive. :grin:
