To the Beat
Members of the Nak Pak start a special project to choose music and record inspirational messages for Bo to listen to as he competes in the Yukon Jack's Triathlon. Choose three songs (with school appropriate lyrics - i.e. clean versions) with messages and beats that you think would be beneficial for a competing triathlete. Place the links to the songs in your post and for each song write at least one paragraph explaining your reason for the choice. 3 songs = 3 paragraphs!
HINT - create this post in GoogleDocs and then copy it over to Blogger!

It is a pretty long song to so you keep your rhythm going for a long time and makes you not want to stop. No mTter what you will be stronger after the race it won't kill you. Go until you almost did is what the song means so push yourself tell you want to die.

It just makes you want to compete and try your hardest. It makes you reallize you want to try hard and win. It is Avery inspirational song and will keep you going.

"Bulletproof"-La Roux
ReplyDeletehttp://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/laroux/bulletproof.html
I think that this song really reflects Bo’s Life. In Bulletproof is states that “I won't let you in again the messages I tried to send my information's just not going in”. This relates to Bo because he is doing the Yukon Jack, and he isn't going to let his dad in. Bo’s not going to let his dad in and mentally get to him and ruin his chances of beating Wyrack in the race. Also in the lyrics of Bulletproof it say “I won't let you turn around and tell me now I'm much too proud”. In Ironman Bo is not going to confront his dad about helping Wyrack, by getting Wyrack’s team one of the nicest bikes there is. Bo is going to try and win the race with all odds stacked against him, because Bo knows the truth and knows his dad is lying to him. Yet Bo is going to be the bigger man and fight to win the Yukon Jack's without having the advantage.
"Wake Me Up"-Avicci
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/avicii/wakemeup.html
I chose this song Wake Me Up for Bo Because it says “Guided by a beating heart I can't tell where the journey will end but I know where to start”. Bo has no Idea if he will win this race he is putting everything he has into the Yukon Jack. He knows where to start, he will start by proving to his father that even with the odds stacked against him won't give up he will give it all he has. Bo doesn't know where his journey will end, Wyrack and his team have an advantage with the fast bike and great athletics. I think this song would remind Bo how hard he has worked and that it is all up to him to see where this journey of his will lead him to in the near future.
“Fighter”-Christina Aguilera
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/christinaaguilera/fighter.html
I think this song really shows Bo’s relationship with his dad. In Fighter it says “You thought I would forget but I remembered 'cause I remembered”. This reminds me of the time when Bo’s dad locked him in his room for slamming the front door. Bo missed out on childhood memories while he was locked in his bedroom for months. Bo’s father expected him to forget about this and move on, but this affected Bo on many levels. Also the song states “You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself through living in denial but in the end you'll see YOU-WON’T-STOP-ME”. This will make Bo think about all of the times his dad has went behind his back and not helped him but hurt him. Also Bo wants to show and prove to his father that no matter what he wont hold him back or stop him. I think this song will really remind him why he wants to beat Wyracks team and prove to his dad that he is not a quitter.
Fighter- Christina Aguilera
DeleteThis song has a powerful message. She was writing about her negative things in her life can make you smarter and stronger. How people surround themselves to wrong people, places or wrong reasons. Because of all the negative experience, she can't no longer be hurt. I can see Bo would understand this songs. This song has a deep meaning to his life.
The songs you choose we're good and went with the book very well. The first song, as you said, does a great job of saying that Bo won't let people in and will keep himself inside. These songs also have a good beat that Bo could run to and bike to and not slow down. Wake me up was a great choice because the part that you quoted said something about a beating heart and Bo could run to his beating heart and not stop.
DeleteI think these were good song choices. I liked how you described in details why it would motivate you into doing a triathlon. Good paragraph form and good job explaining that it reminds Bo that he wants to prove to his dad that he's better than he thinks he is. For "Wake Me Up", I liked how you explained that Bo doesn't know where it's going to lead him but he knows to never give up no matter what happens.
Deletehttp://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/fivefingerdeathpunch/comingdown.html
ReplyDeleteI did coming down by five finger death punch because its a song about being powerful and moving on with life and it just has a beat that moves you.
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/shinedown/diamondeyesboomlayboomlayboom.html
i used diamond eyes by shinedown because i always listen to this song before games its just pushes me so i would use it in a marathon.
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/seether/weak.html
I used the song weak by seether Because this song say when you're weak just keep going. the rhythm of this song just builds my adrenaline and makes me wanna go all out.
Good song choice! I feel like you could have a little more of a description on why you would chose these songs. Other than that you did a really good job. I feel like these songs will motivate the people to get to the finish line.
DeleteYou did a very good job. These are good song. They should keep him pumped up really well. He will run for ever. You described it all really we'll too.
DeleteWhat Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger
ReplyDeleteI chose this song because, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, like the title says. It explains that whatever you’re going through will only make you better. This song also explains to never give up whenever things come crashing down. You have to follow through if you want to reach your goals.
Don’t Stop Believing
I chose this song because it explains to hold onto your goals. That you should never give up on what you are doing or wanting to do. It says to hold onto the little strength you have left and fight through it. Also, that people will always be with you.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
I chose this song because, there’s always a brighter future ahead. Even if you make the wrong decision, you’ll get through it eventually. People make mistakes but it’s life, and we have to understand that it’s not always going to be easy.
These songs that you picked were all a really good choice. I feel as if we were to have a triathlon people should play these songs cause I feel like it would really motivate them. Make sure that you type a paragraph for each one. Other than that you did an amazing job. I can see how all of these songs could be beneficial to the people that are running these. Keep up the good work there Kara!
DeleteI think all three songs you chose are good songs to get motivated. I liked how you described that life isn't easy and that it can't just be handed to you the way you want it to. I think my favorite song would probably be "Don't Stop Believing", only because you shouldn't ever give up on yourself no matter what. Even if it's a daily struggle, don't give up. Don't stop believing or doubting yourself.
DeleteHall of Fame-The Script
ReplyDeleteThis song is saying be the best you can be and never give up something you love. It says, “Dedicate yourself and you gonna find yourself”, if you put time and effort into something, you’re going to have good outcomes on whatever it may be. Maybe even one day you’ll be in the hall of fame. Whatever you do, give it your all no matter how hard it is.
Destiny’s Child-Survivor
The song, Survivor, is a good song to get motivated in my opinion. It talks about working harder and not stopping. Being an athlete isn’t easy. It takes time and effort. People may think it’s easy, but when you’re out there pushing yourself to get better, it gets pretty tough. Like it says, “I will survive, keep on survivin”.
Not Afraid-Eminem
This song is saying no matter what, you’re not alone. Whether you feel like it or not, they’re people out there that will always be there for you through thick and thin. When you are feeling like giving up, those people are there to support you and will do whatever it takes. It says, “Through the storm, whatever weather, cold or warm”, it means that no matter the situation, you’ll get through it.
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/breakingbenjamin/iwillnotbow.html
ReplyDeleteI chose this song because it is a song about not giving up. I would say that the person is going through dark times and is trying to fight back. Although a lot like with bo’s situation he doesn’t exactly know how to. He keeps trying though not giving in to what he is dealing with. Really i just think that the situations are similar and that the song would get someone pumped.
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/threedaysgrace/getoutalive.html
I really like this song myself for the tempo and i think that really decides it for you. Some people like me like faster tempo’s others like it when the tempo is soft. I think a song with a fast tempo is more likely going to get someone pumped and ready to go. I think that the lyrics could be better they themselves make it kind of seem a little dark. It could have lightened them up a bit but then it would have been a totally different song.
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/apocalyptica/idontcare.html
I think this is a great song mainly because a lot of people can relate with what there saying.
it has a slow tempo at first but it continually rises until it just wouldn't be right if you went over.
it’s a song that people relate to that pumps them up. This three songs are what i think would be beneficial to an athlete.
Tristan I really like the song picks that you chose really go well with a triathlon. I feel like the people would really be motivated. I would try and work on explaining yourself a little more. But other than that good job.
DeleteHall of fame, the script bc its the hall of fame
ReplyDeletehttp://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/script/halloffame.html
I chose this song because it gives you the thought of being the best. In the song it says standing in the hall of fame and that you can be the best at whatever you do. This song also has a good beat and it'll keep you thinking.
Eye of the tiger, survivor for obvious reasons
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/survivor/eyeofthetiger.html
This song is obviously a classic and a motivational song. It was played in the Rocky movies as he is training for a fight so it has to be good. The beat is easy to run to and it gets you pumped up. It says its the thrill if the fight. This part would get to Bo because he is almost in a fight with Ian and his dad.
What a wonderful world, Louis Armstrong
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/louisarmstrong/whatawonderfulworld.html
This song is very different from the other two but I think its good. This song will make you think about how good the world can be and its a topic of thinking that'll keep your mind off the run. It doesn't have all that good of a beat to run to its a little slow but I think the words are good.
I think you did a good job on all of the songs that you chose. I like the song Hall of Fame you picked because it says you can be the greatest you can be the best and that would be a reminder to Bo that he can be better than Wyracks team. You gave really good reasoning's on why you picked all of the songs that you did.You also answered all of them in paragraphs, good job.
DeleteGreat job, and description of why you chose those songs. I like the different aspects of each song. And why you chose them.

ReplyDeleteEye of the Tiger by Survivor
This song is one of the greatest inspirational songs of all time. This song is to remind you to never give up on your dreams, even if you think its impossible. For the lyrics, "went the extra mile" means for you to take that extra step and accomplish your goal. If you set your mind to something and don't give up you can reach the goal.
http://youtu.be/_Z5-P9v3F8w
Never Say Never by Justin Bieber
This song is about you accomplishing anything you want to try. The song says "you should never say never", which means you can do anything and nothing is impossible. Don't let things get you down and stand up for yourself and believe in yourself. This lyric has an inspirational message " I never had the strength to take it higher, until I reached the point of no return, Gonna give everything I have/ Its my destiny/I will never say never."
http://youtu.be/Xn676-fLq7I
Stronger (What doesn't kill you) by Kelly Clarkson
Sometimes when you're having a bad day, and you just want to listen to something that makes you feel like you can move a mountain, listen to this song. This song is about empowerment and overcoming challenges. Its a sad song in the beginning but by the end of the song, its more inspirational than sad. It's the music on the radio you can dance to, cry to and sing at the top of your lungs to. It can make you feel stronger by listening to this song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANKWwI0ONGc what doesnt kill makes you stronger
ReplyDeleteBo dad gives a free bike to bo opponent. bo dad lies to him but it does not kill bo , it makes bo wanting to win even more. bo works out so much because he is scared to let people down. bo works out so much that it does not kill him it only makes him stronger.whatever wyrack is telling Bo that wyrack would bet Bo. But that will only push Bo to win the race more than wyrack words killing him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beBA6vfRoNI can't be stopped
i think bo should listen to this song because it can push him to work harder. when he is riding the bike in the race he should listen to this because in his mind he will be telling himself that wyrack can't stop him. Also because it will make push himself where he never thought he could go that far. Also this song will tell Bo that he can't be stopped by anybody not even when his is giving wyrack the free bike, Bo still pushes himself to win.
https://www.google.com/#q=i+am+not+afraid+lyrics i am not afraid
this song would work for bo because he is not afraid of wyrack. also bo is not afraid of ramond because he can't do anything to bo, bo has gotten the worse all ready. also bo is not afraid to push himself for success and he is not afraid to win the race.
Pavel you did an awesome job on choosing these songs. Good job on making all of your explanations full paragraphs. The songs that you picked I really feel like will motivate the people to get to the finish line and to never give up. Just one thing that I would say to try and work on is not repeating yourself.
DeleteI think you did a really good job on picking the songs that you did. All of the songs that you picked would of pushed Bo while he was doing to Yukon Jack. You tell how each song would push Bo to win the race. I also like how you say Bo will be pushed farther than he has ever been pushed before and why you thought your songs would keep him on task and help him to beat Wyracks team in the Yuknon Jack.
DeleteThe three songs I would choice for Bo would be Reaching by Audiomachine, 300 Violin Orchestra by Jorge Quintero, and Invincible by Two Steps From Hell. Each song has it’s own uniqueness about it.Different beat in all. Bo could easily follow the beat to each song. I think that because I exercise to songs like these.
ReplyDeleteTheir very intense. In aspects of cycling and running they can be used as both. I use these sound to exercise and more of them because of the pace I set to each song. Though the 300 Violin Orchestra is soft at the beginning it gets real interest.
So here are the links to each song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl8DQG5oCXg,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCebJodm0lY and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8l9oMG8FZA . There really great to lession to.
I listen to the songs that you put and each one is pretty good. I felt like you didn't explain why you choose theses songs. Nor why they would be good for him or where in the race they would be good.
DeleteMy first song that I pick was Cinderella Man by Eminem. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=W5QKVNnuMcH68AHa5IG4Dw&url=http://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DprOfUimhbQU&cd=5&ved=0CCMQtwIwBA&usg=AFQjCNEcz5ssASNwxM849YP5rIGJgQvWdQ&sig2=DjYJa2nQ7ggBQK3_rFz2Bg
ReplyDeleteThe reason that I picked this song is simple. I personally like this song, but it is also a good pump up song. When you listen to this song, it has a lot of rap, but the rhythm and the beat are higher. Also, this song has a good melody or sound. Overall for this song, I would pick this song for a good motivation song or for workout.
The next song that I picked was Chariots of Fire by Vangelis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYJzcUvS_NU
I picked this song for one main reason; because this song is so awesome and iconic. Anytime you hear a motivation theme in a funnier or somewhat humored movie, you always hear this. Other than this song being used a lot, it is also a very nice and uplifting song. Other than it being a little older, and not really good for listening to on a day to day basis, it should get anyone pumped for whatever it may be.
The final song that I picked was What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2VCwBzGdPM
I also picked this song for one main purpose; it rocks. When I hear this song, all of my worries just sort of float away and I just relax. This song is a good song choice because it is a little slower beat, but it is so uplifting and good. If Bo were to hear this song, I feel he would just be regenerated with energy and all his worries would subside. Overall though, I could listen to this song over and over again. Not just because it is so good, but because Louis Armstrong is such a good singer. And not from that, but because you can tell how much soul he puts into singing this song.
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/florida/goodfeeling.html
ReplyDeleteThe reason why this is one of my song choices was because it is a really up beat song. I don't know if it is just me but when I listen to really pump up music in cheer it gets me all fired up and makes me so pumped. So I feel like this would just be a good song because each of them should have a good feeling that they will be the first ones to the finish line and they will do great!
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/katyperry/roar.html
The reason why I chose this song was because first of all it's a really up beat song. Another reason is because it says I am the champion so that helps people think "oh I wanna be a champion". So it pushes them to do better. Another reason is because it is so catchy it keeps their mind off their pain and just pushes through it and tries to get to the finish line.
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/skillet/hero.html
The reason why I chose this song is kindof exactly why I chose the other ones. It's really upbeat and will always keep them moving. Another reason why I chose this one was because it has hero in it. Everyone out there thAt is running, swimming, or biking wants to be the hero that day. So this song probably motivates them a lot to get what they want and get to the finish line.

I chose this song because it pretty much states that the last one trying the hardest will be the one who wins victory and will rise up to their challenge they're facing which can be anything.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmXumtgwtak
I chose this other song mostly because its saying don’t lose yourself in the moment of winning because once you got it you can hold on and keep your once in a lifetime dream. It tells how you shouldn’t give up and set your mind to anything and you can accomplish anything.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04854XqcfCY
I chose this song because it celebrates in words on how it feels to be a champion. It explains how hard it is to reach your own personal goal and keeping your mind to it so you can accomplish the goal and you won’t give up til you win. It also states like how to not let anyone get in your way because it can be your only shot. Once you get to that goal you will have everything or feel amazing and you’ll just appreciate everyone and everything that helped you to strive to your personal or whatever goal you wanted to set.

ReplyDeleteEye of the tiger -Lyrics-: http://youtu.be/QEjgPh4SEmU
The reason I chose this song for Bo in his race is because I find it very motivational also let me be honest i see it off the movie rocky. I think it may help him go faster when he thinks of how hard it was for rocky to might give him that big push.
Another One Bites the Dust by Queen with lyrics (…: http://youtu.be/krfEcvBfUY4
This one I picked because it kinda relates to the people hes going up against. As he passes them he could think of this song and be like ha passed another one. I would listen to a song like this if I was in a race.
Going the Distance - Cake [Lyrics]: http://youtu.be/gASM80WaBZM
When I picked this song I hadn't listened to the whole song but it still kind of works. It may be about a horse race and a girl being alone but I still like the whole hes "going the distance" part because he is going the distance and fighting hard to win.
