This Is How Lame I Am - Part II

So I've got a new "keep my sanity while I wait to hear if I got the job" song that's calming me down better than "Don't Stop Believin'" And not only that, I found I can embed a sample of it it in my blog courtesy of imeem. If you click the song name in the player, you can go to imeem and listen to the whole thing.

Now, the thing is that lots of people think "Gonna Fly Now" is the most inspirational music from "Rocky," but it's not. It's just happy music. The inspirational piece of music is called "Going the Distance". This is when Rocky's up against it, when Rocky's fighting his demons, fighting his doubt, fighting against everyone who tells him he can't do it. This is the darkness of self-doubt that Rocky conquers to beat Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang, Ivan Drago.

"Don't Stop Believin'" has a good chorus, but it's essentially a power ballad. When you need something about slogging through, earning every hard-won step toward your goal, and making it to the end... "Going The Distance" is your music.

I am soooo lame.
