Hiya guys, I wanted to ask if you have any music that you like to listen to while writing, drawing, ect. And if so, would you post in the comments? I think this will be useful for anyone who needs a muse XD

E.S. Posthumus - Nara Good

E.S. Posthumus - Nara
Good sweeping epic track. Great for more mystical/fantasy projects.

Dead Island Trailer Music
Slow, but excellent for quiet/sad/bittersweet things

Welcome to? Bangkok by Brand New
Short, but a good intense track.

Poets of the Fall - Dreaming Wide Awake
I just love this. HAHA. Good for action, epic struggles, etc.

Strobe (Adagio in D Minor)
Great for tragic struggles.

Folklore Soundtrack: Engraved Time
A good mischievous, eerie, and somewhat playful track.

Steve Mazzaro - Redwall
And a good intense battle song for good measure.

Mostly I use as a background

Mostly I use as a background music for writing Astor Piazzola's pieces.





I always use only instrumentals, since any lyrics bother me when I'm writing.



Future Loop Foundation - Music created by synthetic experiments, sometimes very inspiring.

Awolnation--Sail Rapidly

Awolnation--Sail
Rapidly falling in love with this song, and although this isn't the 'official' video, I simply adore it.

Barenaked Ladies--Baby Seat
A good song for when I'm in a bit of a down mood, reminds me that I can pull through anything.

Dave Matthews Band--Gravedigger
Always makes me think, and some fantastic imagery.

Dave Matthews Band--Funny The Way it Is
Another thoughtful song, always bittersweet.

Franz Ferdinand--What She Came For
Pretty much the theme song for one of my characters, but also just a fun song in general. C:

Once Soundtrack--Into the Mystic
A cover of the Van Morrison song, but I love this version, and the movie that it comes from is just fantastic.

KT Tunstall--Black Horse and the Cherry Tree
Such a great beat, and again, fabulous imagery.

Mumford and Sons--The Cave
Bright song, gives me hope.

Raconteurs--The Switch and the Spur
Fantastic storytelling.

Red Hot Chili Peppers--Monarchy of Roses
Not sure why, but this song always inspires me.

Sam Roberts--An American Draft Dodger in Thunder Bay
Another great story, and interesting sentiments.

Tokyo Police Club--Bambi
Great song.

U2/Greenday--The Saints are Coming
<3

Chris De Burgh--Spanish Train
I love my my story songs. Great telling of a classic struggle.

Watchmen Soundtrack--Pruit Igoe and Prophecies
Instrumental, very different.
