"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

I'm listening to Celtic Woman on YT - first time I've ever heard her but I am LOVING her vocals!  A stirring song can make the blood go hot, no?

She sorta reminds me of Annie Haslam of Renaissance...I remember listening to them growing up as they were a favorite of my Mom's...her vocal range was nigh unmatched among her contemporaries, ethereal and soul stirring.  Hard to find their stuff on YT because a lot of their songs were REALLY long...Scheherzzade, for example, had a running time just short of 30 minutes!

Here's an excerpt - a medley of 'Song of Scheherazade (only the Prince and Princess portion) and Ocean Gypsy and even this is not their best recording.

Tao of the Machine is awesome. That was my favorite song from the Need For Speed games. Oddly enough, it was in Naruto too.

I have noticed that the really inspiring songs tend to get used more than once...which is cool because video game soundtracks are how I get exposed to music I might not otherwise listen to.

Anything by these fine lovely ladies get`s me in the medieval mood and makes me want to stroll the highest battlements of beaumaris castle as the sun sets over the rolling Welsh mountains.

Now that I get the point of this thread.  I know that I over did it in my first post, but I am impressed with the song selections!

Here is a song that does make me Knightly

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgKoyL4HW7o[/youtube]

Bittersweet but what can I say, I'm addicted to the lyrics of the song.  This is what Knights of Today must say to their loved ones/wives before they either go questing or making a promise of loyal love (on a more subtle note).

Hope you enjoy it!

Is that the same 'Medieval Baebes' who show up at MDRF?

The song that motivates me the most is Breis' remix of the X Vs Zero battle theme from Megaman X5 & 6. That song is awesome! I play it (and many other remixes by him) whenever I go for a run. I could definitely go into battle with that song raging in the background.
