Princes of the Universe by Queen (Two stories and an extra video)

Posted on June 21, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

When I got into fencing, I got into Highlander.  This song came with that and it’s the only thing that’s stayed.  In fact, I keep pausing here to sing along.  (No man can be my equal!)  I should pause the … Continue reading →

Piano Man by Billy Joel

Posted on June 19, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

I’ve always loved this song.  I think I really need it today.  I have no musical talent, but I always sway to the rhythm and occasionally sing it.  The best singing incident with this song was in college.  We were … Continue reading →

Et tu, Pandora?

Posted on June 18, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

I listen to Pandora when I’m blogging and writing.  There have been a few times the songs fit what I’m writing, which is great.  Hero by Skillet for a Luke scene is an example of this. Today, it is very … Continue reading →

Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve

Posted on June 11, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

I thought I posted this one before, but apparently I never have.  Something about this song always drew me in.  I could never tell if it was a sad or hopeful song either, but that might have been part of … Continue reading →

Dreamer by Ozzy Osbourne (And a bonus)

Posted on May 28, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

You typically don’t think of this kind of song when you think of Ozzy Osbourne, which is why I think it’s so great.  Something about it just makes me smile.  Thanks to Petite Magique for reminding me about this one.  … Continue reading →

My Way by Limp Bizkit

Posted on May 25, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

Yeah, the band may not be around (are they?) and Fred Durst seemed to gain some infamy.  Still, this song became a personal anthem for me during college.  Born of frustration and simply getting fed up with certain people, I … Continue reading →

Badass by Saliva

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

I’m putting this song up simply because of its amazing timing.  I’m writing the scene that kicks off the HUGE battle in The Compass Key.  This started up the moment I wrote ‘the half-elven warrior charging at the zombies’.  That’s … Continue reading →

Hero by Skillet

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

I just started hearing this song, but the timing of this one turning up is funny.  I’m writing a point where Luke and Nyx are fighting.  This is a fight that is nothing like their previous scuffles and arguments.  Nyx … Continue reading →

Juke Box Hero by Foreigner

Posted on May 7, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

This is definitely a song that gets my blood pumping when I’m writing an exciting scene or one that requires a character push through a difficulty.  The words and the beat are simply epic to me.  Though, it’s Foreigner, so … Continue reading →

Send Me An Angel by The Scorpions

Posted on April 29, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

I just like how the older rock bands didn’t always play loud, high-energy songs.  They knew how to throw a slower, calming in there.  This one always calms me.
