Crucial Track – 12 July 2026

What’s your go-to song for getting ready in the morning?

I don’t think I have such a song. Mornings are bleary eyed stumbles for caffeine, as quietly as possible so as not to wake my son.

However if I am up early to exercise then I need something upbeat to get me going, and I find the repetition of You Can Do It quickly moves my mood to where I need it to be.

“You Can Do It” by Caribou
