I'm lucky enough to get a program called Guitar Center Sessions on my TV programming--basically, it's an hour-long show featuring a band or artist. They play, and talk about their beginnings, what inspires them, etc. I love this show. For some odd reason, it sparks my creativity as a writer.
Does music inspire you too? Any favorites?
Here's OneRepublic being awesome:

I;m going to look for that. I love that sort of show. Different things inspire me different days. But I cannot listen to music with words while reading or writing. So a lot of classic music.
ReplyDeleteI only use music sometimes to drown out noise (like when I'm writing at the food court or something). I haven't listened to classical in a while, should try that again...
ReplyDelete16 Horsepower's "Brimstone Rock" always want to write post-apocalyptic because it sounds like the end of the world.
ReplyDeleteI used to listen to Evanescence for dark mood writing :-)
ReplyDeleteFleur, thanks for bringing this show to my notice. Music inspires me to the extent that it puts me in a good mood. I don't have favourites but I listen to all kinds of songs including sentimental stuff like "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, "Those Were the Days" by Mary Hopkins, and "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" by The Four Aces. I love the old classics. I also enjoy listening to Peter Frampton, Frank Sinatra, Engelbert Humperdinck, Foreigner, Carpenters, BeeGees, Scorpions, REM, Sarah Brightman (soprano), ABBA, and Perry Como among several others.
ReplyDeleteI love all of those too, Prashant. The classics always put me in a good mood as well. Sinatra was my grandmother's favorite, so his music always makes me think of her :-)
