Got to keep pushing, when you're living against the river

31 Oct, 2025

I often use music as a motivator, when I don't have energy to do things, no mater what it is, I turn the music on and I gain a sense of strength I can't have with anything else. Somehow I can suddenly keep pushing through the day, so music is my energy as if I were a robot that can charge with it.

There are certain songs I've been listening to with positive lyrics, I was listening to "Living against the river" by incognito the other day, this time paying attention to the lyrics, and I was comforted by it. This song is like a representation of what music does for me and it reminds me every time that I play it that with music I can keep pushing even if I'm living against the river.

I decided to make a playlist for all these songs that lifts my mood. Is nice to identify the songs that make me happy. I know music can't solve everything and work for any situation, but it can make it more bearable.

As always, I'll share the track list:

1. Keep together - The Brand New Heavies
2. Living Against the River - Incognito
3. You - Fuji Kaze
4. Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac
5. Don't be Afraid - The Poles
6. Free If We Want it - Nothing But Thieves
