This week’s song is one that motivates because of it’s upbeat sound, but also it’s awesome message.

It’s by a band that a lot of people are talking about now because of a song they have on the radio, but this is a lesser known song of theirs. You may have heard of them, there name is Gotye.

I first heard it in one of my favorite movies Going the Distance, and I enjoyed it so much I downloaded the soundtrack. It motivated me so much I used it in a final exam essay my senior year of college.

The music video is kind of weird, but they have one so I might as well put it in here. Here’s Gotye’s ‘learnaligivinanlovin’

If yer always tryin’ to get to the top
You don’t get to the bottom of nothin’!
Then you’re gone before you know it;
You’d better stop! (STOP!)
Learn a little givin’ and lovin’

It’s been done before
C’mon, do it again!
Coz if it’s good
Then you should share it round
What’s the use of keeping
all the good things that you’ve found to yourself?

Learn a little, learn a little
Learn a little givin’
Learn a little, learn a little
Learn a little givin’ and lovin’

You don’t gotta keep no other man down
For you to get up
There’s no need to worry
Just don’t give away your self-respect
Coz if it’s all you’ve got left
The rest don’t really matter now anyway honey!

But give away love (GIVE IT!)
And give it for free
No strings attached
Just don’t ask for it back

Learn a little, learn a little
Learn a little givin’
Learn a little, learn a little
Learn a little givin’ and stop!

Givin! Learn a little givin’
It’s been done before
C’mon do it again!
Learn a little, learn a little
Learn a little givin’ and lovin’
