I-Power Music or Anthem...

[Dylan]

I was thinking today of a song that could serve as the mantelpiece of I-Power. A song that when played people would relate it more to us and I-Power more than the band itself (A good example would be Eye of The Tiger for Rocky)

As I was thinking about 3 songs came to mind. I'll post them and the links to their lyrics and music videos on youtube. I doubt we'd ever REALLY be able to do this but it'd be cool to imagine up songs suitable for the movement. Anyways here's my top 3

The first one is Smashing Pumpkins song Bullet with Butterfly Wings

The second is The Revolution Will Not Be Televised by Gil Scott Heron

Third and final choice is Come Together by The Beatles

I didn't embed them in case most of know these songs. I will also be adding the mp3 files to my profile after posting this and the 2nd choice was featured in my I-PowerCast.

I have not made these choices because one of them WILL become an anthem. This is a forum for imagination. I'd be very interested in hearing what you all would suggest as an anthem for I-Power. I never mentioned this to anyone in "The Crew" or anything like that and I doubt anyone would go through all the trouble of getting the permission of whoever controls these intellectual properties to let us use them for free. Even if we all did I doubt they'd allow it.

I still remember getting a letter in the mail when I was 15 telling me I was being sued by Aftermath Records for downloading and distributing Eminem songs

Have a good one

[Daniel Lockwood]

The Roots - False Media
Gym Class Heroes - Simple Living

[Dylan]

Amazing choice

[Lone Sal Bug]

Queens Innuendo happens to be one of my favourite songs of all time but I seriously think this should be a strong candidate.

It's epic, here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=cpys1c3jCNs

It asks all the deep questions many members here seem to ask..it's frightening how perfect it is.

amirite do it do it

[Dylan]

lol these are pretty awesome

[Cain]

I've Got The Power by Snap.

It's in Bruce Almighty.

It seems pretty damn fitting to me.

Faithless - We come one
video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2y2GZHuukw
lyrics: http://www.lyricsdownload.com/faithless-we-come-one-lyrics.html

even thoug it's commercialized - i think this "faithless" message is powerfull, and good candidate for anthem song.

I know the first 3, am watching the 4th one now, not bad at all. I'm not so much into the heavier stuff as some but I agree that they're all suitable

[Fernando]

Hmm, great idea! Of your list, I definitely go with #3.
