- The Basics
Bracing guitars, soaring harmonies, a rock-solid backbeat: U2's "Beautiful Day" is the perfect beginning to our Morning Motivators, packing just enough momentum to put the wind at your back. Throw in a little extra momentum from the Saints ("This Perfect Day"), and you'll be halfway through your brekkie before you know it.

If the chugging six-string and piping trumpet powering Cake's "The Distance" aren't galvanizing enough, we've spiced up this next tier of Morning Motivators with Pearl Jam's majestic "Given To Fly"; the Bangles' empathetic ode to your situation, "Manic Monday"; and the Arcade Fire's "Wake Up." Are you awake? 'Course you are.

By now, if you're not at the office, maybe you're dropping the kids off at school or stopping off at your local coffee spot. With the last leg of the morning in front of you, cue up some Deep Cuts: the Kings of Leon's "California Waiting," Stereophonics' "Dakota," and Barenaked Ladies' nugget of wishful thinking, "Who Needs Sleep?"

The hardest part of any weekday is the morning, a time mercilessly dropped on us like a ton of bricks: the piercing digital shriek of an alarm clock, the prying open of the eye lids, the scrambling to get out of the house and into the office, et al. Trust us, we feel your pain, which is why we put together a playlist with one goal in mind: making the hard part a little easier. Consider this the audio version of a very strong cup of coffee.
