I used to, but it kinda ruined the song lmao. Everytime I heard it after that I felt alerted
I use the middle chorus from Gloryhammer's Masters of the Galaxy, and it's worked really well for a while. But I'm thinking of changing it to the opening of Powerman 5000's Bombshell
I have a Garmin fitness watch that only vibrates to wake me up. It’s mildly annoying since it is not as gentle as my old Apple Watch from many years ago. The Apple Watch’s vibration alarm felt like a finger gently tapping my wrist. It was a nice way to gently wake up without disturbing my partner. My Garmin watch vibrates entirely on the lowest setting. I can also hear it audibly vibrate, too.
Edit: fixed typos from mobile keyboard typing
Monody by TheFatRat
I love his work especially with Laura Brehm and this one specifically has a nice slow build without any vocals for a while which I find more pleasant to wake up to.
Just changed it recently to Init by NIN (Tron Ares soundtrack). YouTube
This soundtrack kicks so much ass on its own that I almost don’t want to watch the movie and understand the context
I will tell you that the soundtrack alone tells a story without a doubt, having listened to it at least a hundred times on repeat. After seeing the movie, all the pieces fit perfectly.
I know others are complaining about the movie and maybe that is dissuading you, but fuck 'em. I don't pay much mind to others opinions because most people like to play follow the leader and not think for themselves. It's a great movie and I'm going to see it again before it leaves theaters.
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.
City of the dead by The Rasmus.
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.
I have a rotation of instrumental ambient playlists like Medieval Ambient and Dungeon Ambient. We're so used to them, it's strange not to have them when we're on vacation.
Caramelldansen, the Caramella Girls version.
Tbh the vibration motor in modern smart phones has been an absolute game changer, the sound doesn't really matter as long as it's a softer sound that still is an alarm. But even semi decent vibration motors in phones are leaps and bounds better than the best of early android phones, it's like someone is tapping me through the mattress, I wake right up.
I use sleep as android and have it set to pull from a web radio. My brain used to tune out any song/ringtone I set for an alarm in about a week. No longer an issue when it's always a different track.
The game is to get up and turn it off before the bass can kick in and wake the neighbours.
If it can be called a song...
Discord Rare mix
Same as my ringtone.
Makes sure I wake up (lol)
No, my alarm simultaneously vibrates on my wrist and plays jungle birdsong sounds, gradually increasing in volume, which is a really nice way to wake up.
No. I have to make it the loudest, most unpleasant sound I can find otherwise it does not work.
Shared Loneliness by Mindthings
The most grating annoying song that I can find at the time. This one is my current alarm tone
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I-djgdra6Fs
I wake up angry and am scrambling to switch it off as quickly as possible but even when I do I cant go back to sleep again out of sheer annoyance of having that be the first thing I had to hear waking up.
Underground 80s radio
I have the Spongebob outro track as my alarm.
my alarm is home-assistant with music-assistant and it just plays the collection of my fave'd songs on full blast
