I couldn’t do this week’s topic without showing some songs that I will put on when I need some inspiration. That or I have trouble with a scene and they can help me get through the issue. I’ve been using them less and less though because I’m just letting the playlists run through, but I still want to share.
This last one is actually the first inspiration song. I listened to it all the time in high school and college when I wanted to write. I’d also listen to it when I couldn’t get to my books and was feeling depressed. Been a while since I felt like putting it on for some reason. Still, my mind went to it first when I thought of this post:
Legends of Windemere 
Believe it or not, I am unfamiliar with these except for Johnny Cash. Shows my age I think!

Funny thing is the Johnny Cash song is him covering a Nine Inch Nails song. 😁

Charles, every song seems to be for a different mood. The Johnny Cash song really got to me. Made me look back at my own life progression and how I changed it in my book. The Hurt taken away and replaced with Hope! 📚🎶 Christine

I think so. Funny thing is that I usually played them whenever if I was writing. Brainstorming was when I was more specific.

You’ve mentioned some of these in other blogs. I can’t help thinking of how during a talk with a movie producer, the producer talked about how just the right song was needed for a scene in a film. So it’s understandable that these songs inspire you for different reasons.

I didn’t know producers do that, but it makes sense. I always wondered if songs were usually made for movies or came out first then chosen for the movies.

Thanks for sharing these. I was unfamiliar with the first and third ones, and I didn’t recognize the fifth until I started listening to it. Then I remembered that I used to hear it on the radio sometimes (which really shows my age, I’m sure) and liked it.

Third one I stumbled onto years ago. It was on an alternate rock station that had just turned up, but I don’t hear it any more. The first one was popular in 2009/2010. I’m actually surprised about you knowing the last one. Nobody ever seems to remember that.

It really does. Unless you’re doing something boring. Then time crawls.
