More recently though (probably because of looooonnng hours writing and editing Kiera), I’ve discovered several songs that help get my creative juices flowing while writing without distracting me too much from putting down words. 😉
Here are some of my favorite songs and the moods they set for me. I hope you find one that’s perfect for you!
Romantic and wistful.
Happy, creative, and young.
Joy and hustle.
Bittersweet and wistful.
(If you watch the video, skip the last 15 seconds or so to avoid an immodest sketch.)
Creative and hustle. (Editing or word sprinting ninja!)
Peaceful and soothing.
All the emotions. 😉
Simplicity and joy.
What are some of your favorite writing songs? Can you listen to songs with words, or do you like to choose an instrumental that sets a mood?
ahh Kate, did you steal from my playlist? 😛 I love all these songs! 😀

Hey Kate,
I have only a select few songs I really enjoy listening to when writing, but one I keep coming back to is I See Fire by Ed Sheeran. It helps focus my mind, especially when it comes to characters understanding what is at stake in the story!

That’s a great song, Tanner! And it sounds perfect for the type of stories you write.

I’ll have to listen to these! 😉
When I write, I like to listen to a genre I think is called epica. It’s like epic music, and there are no words, though sometimes vocals. This kind of music pretty iffy, because some of it is too tech-ey, and others are too heavy on the bass or dark or something. So albums tend to be hit-or-miss with songs we like. But once we find them, it’s super awesome. 😉
Also, I would recommend checking out more of Taylor Davis’s music! She has 2 albums of music written by her. One is called Taylor Davis, and the other is called Odyssey. You might find some more songs you like! 😃

That’s awesome! I like PianoGuys kinda of for that reason. What are some of your favorites?
Eeep! Thanks! I love her music. I’m *pretty* sure I’ve listened through her entire YouTube backlist, but I should check those out just to be sure. 😉

I listen to instrumental music when I write, read, and do school, because it helps block out noise. I like having a variety of music—different instruments, different styles (slow, dramatic, livelier…)
