What music do you listen too when you write

This is the place for readers of poetry. Discuss poetry and literary art. You can also discuss music here, including lyrics. Also, you can discuss poets themselves, in addition to poetry.

I rarely listen to music while I'm writing but always when I'm reading lol. I generally play Bruno mars or artists like that.

I'm really composing I are inclined to favour academic, or melodies without lyrics. I find hearing to melodies with vocals a bit diverting if I'm writing..

It depends on what I'm writing. Generally I make "writing playlists" on Spotify for my different projects. Coldplay's album "A Rush of Blood to the Head" greatly influenced my first novel.

I typically don't listen to music, there are too many words going through my head when I do

Latest Review: "Branded" by Katie Hamstead

Post by W-Harbinger »

I usually listen to instrumental music that fits the mood of the scene I'm writing. I usually find something from movie/video game soundtracks. Sometimes I can listen to music with lyrics as long as the words aren't in English. My mind is able to see it as white noise in a way.

I usually listen to my iTunes library on shuffle. If I want to switch it up and listen to something else, I listen to country music on Pandora.

I actually have trouble writing when I'm listening to music. I do love it when I'm brainstorming, though. :) In that case, I like listing to music by Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, or Frankie Valli. Yes, I am a lover of old music!

I like to listen to a lot of Sade when I write. I don't know why but it gets those writing juices flowing and keeps me from getting writers block. :D
