I am a big fan of writing to music. One of the first things I do with an idea is to make a playlist. Finding songs and putting them in a collection in order helps me organise characters and, more importantly, the plot. And once that is done listening to it can help get me back into the mood for that particular story.
While I listen to a lot of different bands/musicians while writing, depending on my mood and what I am writing, here are five artists I love to write to, and three of my favourite songs for each.
Au Revoir Simone
Electronic Dream Pop
Emilie Autumn
Violinist (Classical and Electronic) and Singer
Florence + the Machine
Indie Pop/Rock
Nightwish
Symphonic Metal
Within Temptation
Symphonic Metal
Only 3 songs would play for me but from what I did get to hear I have loved and I will definitely check out the others you have listed here. I can certainly see why these songs would inspire you to write I have been looking for new songs/artists to inspire me to make graphs and these will certainly do that so thank-you very much for sharing
.
The ones that played were: Au Revoir Simone – The Lucky One, Within Temptation – Howling, and Florence + The Machine – Heavy in your Arms
That sucks about some songs not playing. Trying to figure out why, although it’s a bit difficult because all songs are playing for me.
Maybe it’s my internet? It’s quite slow so perhaps the songs take too long to load and then stop.
Oh, I loved Au Revoir Simone! Thanks for turning me onto a new band.
