Writing Soundtrack

Do you have a certain song for certain genres?
A certain song you listen to while you write Frerard?
Was a certain stories of yours written while you listened to a single song on repeat?

Share.

I listen to a lot of Cute is What We Aim For and The Killers when I write Dangerous Face.

I listen to In the Sun by Joseph Arthur when I write Leviticus 20:13.

Lots of Fall Out Boy for Muze, Daddy.

When I write something sad and angsty that focuses more on feeling than plot, I like to listen to Rooftop by Melissa McClelland [sp?].

And the story I'm working on right now is written to a lot of Cobra Starship and Slow Down by The Academy Is...

Sick and Sain was Camisado and Cemetery Drive. Even though the title's from Nails For Breakfast, Tacks For Snacks.

Sick Boy is...nothing, actually.

A Whispering Campaign is 7 Minutes in Heaven.

My story that I wrote for school. (Which I might post on here) I listened to mainly:
Scream - Kill Hannah
and
Modern Myth - 30 seconds to mars (this song actually inspired it)

The Joker by Steve Miller for my oneshot, The Joker.
Carpal Tunnel of Love by Fall Out Boy for my oneshot, It Was Ice Cream Headaches and Sweet Avalanche
Um...
Grand Theft Autumn (Where is your boy?) by Fall Out Boy for I'm Willing to Take My Chances.
This Vicious Cabaret from the film V for Vendetta inspired The Glass Depression.
The whole CD "Life In Cartoon Motion" was inspiration for Life In Cartoon Motion.

I listen to a lot of MCR music. I have all their songs, so that is what I listen to when I write. Because I only really write MCR fanfics on mibba.

Theres more, I know, for like CSB and DBE. I even have like what characters they go to and what part oif the story they fit in, but I wont go into too much detial. Plus, I don't remember all the songs. Most of the time I just put my ipod on shuffle and write with my IPOD on for hours.

Homecoming by Green Day for > > Minutes 2 Midnight < <

Secrets... was inspired by Dru's story A Dangerous Face... even though they are completely different.

To be honest, I just turn on my iPod and listen to whatever. The Academy Is..., Taking Back Sunday, and Panic! are really good inspire-ers... -shrugs-

I almost always listen to the song, Wherever you will go by The Calling when I'm writing I am young and I don't care. And sometimes I listen to Demolition lovers or Desert song by My Chemical Romance when writing it.

I listen to I Devise My Own Demise by Papa Roach when I write I Devise My Own Demise. It helps me get that angst that's in the story out. It just helps me out.

When I'm writing Fallen, I listen to the album Fallen. It helps the ideas flow, mainly because the story is based on the album.

Sometimes when there's songs in the story, i.e. I'm writing about a gig etc., I make a playlist on Realplayer with all those songs on it, and it helps the emotions of the story flow, as they sometimes corespond (sp?) with the music. I then turn that into a playlist on here and find I've written quite a bit!

I listen to a lot of music whislt writing.

Mainly stuff from the DW ost. Since there is no lyrics, the different tones you get from the instruments make you write.

For my chapter on I Devise My Own Demise, I'm listening to all The Used songs on my iTunes. It's really helping me.

Ever the Same - Rob Thomas
Signal Fire - Snow Patrol
Bring It On Home, Lost - Little Big Town
I'll Be, Name, Feel The Silence - Goo Goo Dolls

For Matters of the Heart, chapter 6. No MCR, surprisingly.

My current update of Room 242 is being written to Better Days by the Goo Goo Dolls.

My prostitute story's going off Only The Good Die Young by Billy Joel...For, I would think, somewhat obvious reasons...

For "Boys Will Be Boys..." I listen to "Ocean Avenue" by Yellowcard, "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence, and maybe "Teenagers" by MCR. As for the Billie Joe one-shots, I listen to a lot of Green Day.

Music helps me a lot when I'm writing, songs with a slower beat tend to help me concentrate I guess. The Riders Of Emari is so far my only story with an actual playlist..

Shadow Of The Day - Linkin Park
She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5
Savin' Me - Nickelback
Crawling - Linkin Park
Rum Is For Drinking, Not Burning - Senses Fail

Yep, that last one is specifically for Chapter 3 8)

I don't have a particular song as I put my player on shuffle but sometimes a song ttle leaps out and becomes a title of a story... or a lyric can... depends on the way my mind is working at the time... the song mey give me the idea or it might just fit
