Music helps me write…

Sometimes it just helps drown out the chaos around me, dogs yapping, TV playing, or children running around. In general though, music helps me calm down, or pump up emotions I need to write a scene. I love a variety of music from classical to pop to hip-hop to rock to 80’s electronica (Not a big country fan, but there are a few in my playlist). The best music for me to clear my head with are intros – songs from TV shows or movie theme songs that evoke a specific response in my mind. I’ll give you a sample of that playlist, there is little or no lyric in any of them: Battlestar Galactica (1978), Star Wars (several), Star Trek (Next Generation), Dr. Who, Knight Rider, A Team, Avengers (from all the movies), Game of Thrones, and Stranger Things.

One thought on “Music helps me write…

  • I myself prefer silence, but sometimes, annoying sounds need drowning out, and that’s when I bust out the post rock. Eighties synth like the Stranger Things soundtrack is pretty cool too.
