When you get serious about chasing your dreams, there will be people who laugh and say, “That’s impossible for you.” But you can just laugh them off—in the end, the ones who keep pushing even while being laughed at are the ones who get what they want.
That’s the message I feel from this song.
Take my handSimple Plan

Released in February 2008, this song is included on Simple Plan’s third album, “Simple Plan.” While Simple Plan often writes songs about not wanting to grow up, this track is a motivational anthem directed at their uncertain, gradually maturing selves, expressing the importance of believing and having confidence.
DriveIncubus

There are times when, while everyone around you seems to navigate things skillfully, you feel like you’re the only one clumsily struggling on.
But doesn’t it give you strength to think that there’s a ray of hope that only those who keep struggling, even clumsily, can see? Listening to this song makes me feel like my awkward self is being affirmed.
What I’ve doneLinkin Park

Released in April 2007, this is Linkin Park’s 13th single and is also included on their third album, “Minutes to Midnight,” released in May of the same year.
The song’s lyrics convey that everyone makes mistakes and still wants to make amends over time, serving as an uplifting message that encourages looking forward and living ahead rather than dwelling on the past.
Pardon meWeezer

Released in May 2005, it’s a track from Weezer’s fifth album, Make Believe.
The song’s lyrics describe how actions done with good intentions for someone you trust can be perceived as meddling and end up hurting them.
It’s an encouraging song that expresses the hope that, when there’s a foundation of trust, it won’t become a major problem and the relationship can return to the way it was.
JumpVan Halen

Released in December 1984, it was Van Halen’s 17th single and is also included on their sixth studio album, 1984, which was released the same month.
The song’s lyrics convey the message that there’s no point in feeling down—stand on your own feet and face forward.
The title “Jump” embodies the idea of taking a step forward, making it an uplifting, motivational anthem.
You Could Be MineGuns N’ Roses

It’s a powerful track by Guns N’ Roses.
Over an energetic, memorable guitar riff, Axl Rose sings with his distinctive voice, complete with shouts.
The solid drumming is cool as well.
It became a massive hit and served as the theme song for the film Terminator.
