If so, which song?
Seems like I’d condition myself to hate that song.
That’s exactly what happens lol
Yup. I tried it because it sounded like a pleasant way to wake up. Instead I just started hating some of my favorite songs.
When I was in my teens I used Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, by Led Zeppelin as my alarm, over 15 years later and I can’t help but feel like I’m being yanked out of dead sleep every time I hear it.
The correct way is to use a song you already hate…
But why would I want to make waking up even more horrible by playing a song I hate? I don’t think there is a way for the songs to win
Mornings are rough, true. But when you hate the song enough, you can make your morning at least slightly better when you make that POS stop.
This.
Now I just have a generic alarm signal because I would like to keep enjoying the music I like
Right now I use a mix of these two:
+1 for Marc Rebillet
Vanessa Carlton’s “A thousand miles”, mostly for the piano part at the beginning.
Not to mention it’s an absolute banger
austin powers theme.
That’s a pretty groovy tune
Concerning Hobbits. I picked it to try to set the tone for the day, and it usually works. I’m not a morning person so this is about as good as I can get.
I had devil dogs by sabaton as my alarm for a while because all the instruments come in at once and it would jolt me awake.
Nope. I still have From LA to New York etched into my brain in bile and loathing from it playing on a cheap crappy clock-radio alarm I had when it was first released in '76 or whenever. Actually waking up to that song probably only happened a couple of times, but it was enough. I found that I preferred the brain-piercing built in alarm to having any other songs or drivelling DJs hypnogogically imprinting themselves.
These days I have either birdsong or Tibetan chimes instead.
City of the dead by The Rasmus.
I’ve learned to use a shuffled playlist to wake up. Different song each day, but pulled from my liked songs.
Now if I can just figure out how to make that happen with Home Assistant instead of Google’s bullshit assistant.
Luke Skywalker’s theme from Star Wars: A New Hope.
Nine Inch Nails - The Frail
A++ would wake up again
“Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and shine. Not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest. And all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until… well, let’s just say your hour has come again. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes.”
That followed by ‘marc rebillet - wake up’

Got to start the day with a smile or screams…
Yeah, I use The Ecstacy of Gold from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. It starts quietly and peacefully so doesn’t startle me but builds to a crescendo which guarantees my awake attention.
This is an amazing choice. I just changed all my alarms.
