If so, which song?
HT: theme from Trigun
Yeah, I use The Ecstacy of Gold from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. It starts quietly and peacefully so doesn’t startle me but builds to a crescendo which guarantees my awake attention.
This is an amazing choice. I just changed all my alarms.
Seems like I’d condition myself to hate that song.
That’s exactly what happens lol
Yup. I tried it because it sounded like a pleasant way to wake up. Instead I just started hating some of my favorite songs.
This.
Now I just have a generic alarm signal because I would like to keep enjoying the music I like
When I was in my teens I used Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, by Led Zeppelin as my alarm, over 15 years later and I can’t help but feel like I’m being yanked out of dead sleep every time I hear it.
The correct way is to use a song you already hate…
But why would I want to make waking up even more horrible by playing a song I hate? I don’t think there is a way for the songs to win
Mornings are rough, true. But when you hate the song enough, you can make your morning at least slightly better when you make that POS stop.
I use Your New Morning Alarm by Marc Rebillet
I wake up to iPhone‘s disgusting alarm, but I shave listening to Slayer - Raining Blood
not currently but in the past I used jethro tulls solstice bells and kelpie.
Right now I use a mix of these two:
+1 for Marc Rebillet
I use the radio, so that I don’t get conditioned to hate one specific song, but still have something more pleasant than an alarm tone (which I’d also grow to hate)
“Just Us” by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross

I have others for other alarms. I set multiple so that I can gauge on who I want to be for the day.
sometimes I want to be Donnie Azoff, most the time I want to be almost unemployed.
Yes, I use Teh Internets from the Super Meat Boy soundtrack.
“Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and shine. Not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest. And all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until… well, let’s just say your hour has come again. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes.”
That followed by ‘marc rebillet - wake up’
Vanessa Carlton’s “A thousand miles”, mostly for the piano part at the beginning.
Not to mention it’s an absolute banger
Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien by Edith Piaf, for reasons (yt)
Concerning Hobbits. I picked it to try to set the tone for the day, and it usually works. I’m not a morning person so this is about as good as I can get.
