Writing Music

Hello, everyone I thought I could share some music that I listen to help me write and if you can recommend anything too that would be just swell.

I’m just going in order of songs on my playlist so don’t think I’m judging it on how good or terrible it is.

 

ST. Chroma

I like this song for the beat mostly. it helps me keep track of what type of style I want to exude in my poetry. plus, the line is really what my next poem is going to be about.

Can you feel the light inside?
Can you feel that fire? (Can you feel it, can you feel it? Oh)
Oh, fire (Can you feel it, can you feel it? Ooh, oh), fire
Can you feel the light (Inside), inside?
Can you feel that fire? (Can you feel it?)
Oh, fire (Fire), fire (Ooh)

Daydreamin

my aunt played this song when me and my family went on a trip and i got inspired to write a character about it. in fact, the character it’s based on is the main character in the book I’m writing. my favorite lyrics are. 
As I spy from behind my giant robot’s eyes
I keep him happy cause I might fall out if he cries
Scared of heights, so I might pass out if he flies
Keep him on autopilot cause I can’t drive
Room enough for one, I tell my homies they can’t ride
Unless they sitting on the shoulders, but that’s way too high
Let’s try not to step on the children

 

Cigarettes out the window

I feel this song is good for poems surrounding growing up or rain. at least that’s what I get from it; I actually wrote a poem with the song in mind 2 weeks ago. my favorite lyrics are:

My girl Liddy used to always smoke
Cigarettes when she couldn’t sleep
I wonder what she did when she got done
I guess she’d just flick them out in the street
Poor little Liddy, she wishes it was dark
But it’s never really dark in LA
The light from the billboard always shines
But it changed twelve times since you went away

 

Falling Behind

this song helps me to try and bring out the feeling of yearning in a relationship or the feeling of a one-sided relationship. although I haven’t integrated it in a poem it has helped me write short stories. Here are my Favorite lyrics:

The sun’s engagеd to the sky
And my best friends found a new guy
I’m only getting older
I’ve never had a shoulder to cry on
Someone to call mine
Everybody’s falling in love
And I’m falling behind

I’ll try and put more of my suggestions on the next one so sorry it’s too short. 

All lyrics I got from Genius.com
