use pep up in a hyperbolic way

[alpacinou]

Hello

First, is it correct to use "pep me up" about music?

Listening to this song really peps me up.

Now, how can I make it hyperbolic? Would this be good?

Listening to this song really peps up every molecule in me.

Listening to this song really peps up every fiber inside me / every fiber of my being.


Is there another expression which means doing something, listening to a song, for instance, makes you euphoric and energetic?

First, is it correct to use "pep me up" about music?
Listening to this song really peps me up. Yes, that's okay and natural.

Now, how can I make it hyperbolic? Would this be good?
Listening to this song really peps up every molecule in me. No
Listening to this song really peps up every fiber inside me / every fiber of my being.No

'Pep somebody up' is a set, inseparable phrasal verb. You can change who is being pepped up, but not what.

Is there another expression which means doing something, listening to a song, for instance, makes you euphoric and energetic?

The only one that comes to mind at the moment is 'pump me up', but I'm sure there are others.

And about pump up, are these correct?

Listening to this song really pumps up every molecule in me.

Listening to this song really pumps up every fiber inside me / every fiber of my being.



I think there must be an expression which means that something really makes you energetic and euphoric:?:

While your alternative expressions are not commonly used (if at all) I'm sure they would be understood.

makes you energetic and euphoric

Well, there's that.

(Note that I didn't use really.)

But there's gotta be a colorful and interesting idiom about this.

There's jacked, jacked up, and lit up.

Dear all, is this correct?


My heart leaps to my throat with jubilation whenever I listen to this song.

 

[Tarheel]

It's OK.

 

[GoesStation]

But it's not something a native speaker would be likely to say. Keep it simple and say My heart soars whenever I listen to (or hear) this song.

I really like this my friend.

Is this correct?

My heart soars when the song soars.
My heart soars when the violin soars.

My heart soars when the song soars.
My heart soars when the violin soars.

They're grammatical. I'm not sure what image a soaring song or violin conveys though.

I found this definition for "soar" in Oxford dictionary:

5.when music soars, it becomes higher or louder

Listening to this song really peps me up. Yes.
And about pump up, are these correct?
Listening to this song really pumps up every molecule in me. No - like pep up, it's not natural.
Listening to this song really pumps up every fiber inside me / every fiber of my being. No - like pep up, it's not natural.

I think there must be an expression which means that something really makes you energetic and euphoric:?:

There are, but these don't work when trying to apply them to things like molecules/fibers.

You could say something like 'This song really gets my blood pumping' or 'This music really gets me hyped (up)' or 'Listening to this song really sets my muscles twitching'. That last one isn't terribly natural, but it's better than the versions you've asked about.

We use 'wired' as slang to mean very excited or over-stimulated. ' After that fourth cup of coffee, I was really wired'. I suppose you could extend that to music.
