CFA StudiesTheme Song

@diya that’s a good one!

Feels like deja vu.

@zee I thought it was gonna be ‘hard days night’!

That’s a good one too! Why are Beatles’ songs so apt for CFA studying?!

@diya that’s a good one!

@Zee because they did their 10,000 hours!

That’s really apt lyrics @Sascha!

“Here Comes the Sun” by George Harrison for after the exams.

I love that song @tacheman! It’s just so happy, brightens up your day (and in season too) 🙂

For example, given her apparent penchant for “Rocky”, @christine may go with “Eye of the Tiger”.

Lots of people would love Eye of the Tiger!

I love Sinatra to begin with!

“Here Comes the Sun” by George Harrison for after the exams.

So teach me now that things can only get better
They can only get, they only get, take it on from here
You know, I know that things can only get better

I sometimes lose myself in me, I lose track of time
And I can’t see the woods for the trees, you set them alight
Burn the bridges as you’ve gone, I’m too weak to fight ya
I’ve got my personal hell to deal with

And then you say
“Walk my path, wear my shoes
Talk like that, I’ll be an angel”

And things can only get better

So teach me now that things can only get better
They can only get, they only get, take it on from here
You know, I know that things can only get better

I sometimes lose myself in me, I lose track of time
And I can’t see the woods for the trees, you set them alight
Burn the bridges as you’ve gone, I’m too weak to fight ya
I’ve got my personal hell to deal with

And then you say
“Walk my path, wear my shoes
Talk like that, I’ll be an angel”

And things can only get better

I’d just like to say that this is an awesome thread.

@marc for the record in the 1990s I was mastering Street Fighter. 😀

Glad to know you’re utilizing the 300 Hours Classical Playlist! I tend to use the Movie Soundtrack one, but @christine prefers classical too.

It depends on what you mean by ‘theme song’. A song to listen to while you’re studying, or a song to represent the studies itself? Based on your song choice I’m going to guess the latter.

To be honest, when I think of the CFA exams, a song keeps trolling my head. So I’m just going to put it here for now while I go and think more deeply about a proper song choice.

I don’t have a theme song but I’m sure if I think about it for a couple days I might come up with one.

I generally have no recollection of what song is playing in the background. As long as it is in major key and has a fast tempo all is good.

Bob Marley’s rendition of “Don’t worry be Happy” 😀

@zee I thought it was gonna be ‘hard days night’!

Mine has to be Levels by Avicii…very modern, but I link it to studying as I downloaded it my two week holiday to the Dominican Republic last year on which I spent most of the time studying L2. It’s surprisingly relaxing to revise on a beach…you do look a bit odd with a calculator though!

Is it bad that I like Nickelback?

I vote for “That’s Life” by Frank Sinatra

Specifically because it fits so well with the CFA timetable:

“You’re riding high in April,
Shot down in May.
But I know I’m gonna change that tune,
When I’m right back on top in June.” 🙂

The best thing is, I only tonight realised that the scientist Brian Cox used to be the pianist in D:Ream!!!
