EMS-Related Songs

[Stewart1990]

Yes, we all know of the 'firemen's song' and the other greats by folk musicians. But I'm talking about what pumps you up for a long shift, picks you up when your down, and makes you swell up with a little bit of pride. Share with us your EMS playlist!

 

[Shishkabob]

I'm confused... song that talk about EMS stuff, or songs that we like to listen to while doing EMS stuff?

When i want a pick-me-up driving through Boston (or responding to a call), I blast "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" by Dropkick Murphys. There are plenty of songs related to EMS and medicine that can be interesting... everything from
How to Save a Life -- The Fray
Staying Alive -- BeeGees
Wanted Dead Or Alive-- Bon Jovi
Another One Bites the Dust-- Queen

Someone from a while ago had a playlist of music to play when with a psych patient... i recall it was funny...

 

[fortsmithman]

Keep Hope Alive by The Crystal Method
Ambulance Blues by Neil Young

Either/or. Its basically: What inspires you?

 

[Stewart1990]

How to Save a Life- The Fray
The Atist in the Ambulance- Thrice
Paramedic- These Green Eyes
Hero- Nickelback

 

[DrankTheKoolaid]

Pretty much the entire Means To An End album by Biohazard.

 

[Stewart1990]

Sadly, I have to add my entire list of downloaded ringtones to this:

I'm Shipping Up to Boston- Dropkick Murphys
Scotland the Brave
C'mon, C'mon- THe Von Bondies
+ Paramedic by these green eyes

Johnny Cash!!!!! (I know....)

Anything "country" really.

I also really like It's America by Rodney Atkins.

 

[Mountain Res-Q]

Its basically: What inspires you?

Anything Garth Brooks or Toby Keith... but I'm a redneck. :blush:
My fav as an emergency service worker is "The Change", by Garth. It has a bit of a public service theme to it, and I like to think that it is about me and my dedication to helping others despite the opposition I sometimes feel:

----------

One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
They say what good have you done
By saving just this one
It's like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm

And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me

This heart
Still believes
The love and mercy still exist
While all the hatred rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss

And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me

As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone

I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world we know
Never changes me

What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me

----------

County Fan or not, I highly recommend it.

life is a highway

 

[MedicTom]

Favorite moment with my previous partner of 5 yrs, responding to a call lights and sirens going, speeding along (we live way out in the country and were on a straight rd) singing along to Low Rider @ the top of our lungs.

One I just found a few months ago, The Angel by Sequoyah Rain.

 

[fma08]

Life is Beautiful by Sixx A.M.

 

[DV_EMT]

life is a highway

good song! they (rascal flats) came to the california mid state fair last year and tix sold out within the hour.

as for me, im not sure that I can answer that since i'm still looking for employment. but if i had to pick a few, im sure itd be classic rock or techno (what a clash right?). both pump me up for just about anything B)

Well, I think MSDelta pretty much covered the list, but I would like to add the theme song from the hospital security department I worked for.

Bodies by Drowning Pool

 

[Kookaburra]

I can't believe you people.

Does no one listen to "Rescue Me" by Fontanella Bass!? Or, hell, even "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Öyster Cult? Tsk, tsk, I'm disappointed.

I also love singing along to "I'm Gonna Live Until I Die" by Frank Sinatra.

"Keep Hope Alive" by the Crystal Method
"The Artist In The Ambulance" by Thrice
