Idunno, I couldn't find a topic like this, but if I missed it point me in the right direction?

Anyway, do you listen to music when you write? If so, what kind? Any song in particular that helps you write that one critical scene better? Discuss/share here (:

I like classical music and OSTs for certain settings, usually when I'm trying to describe scenery or the mood of a certain atmosphere.

Yours is the epitome of unadulterated love. You are willing to carry out an act of justice in the name of said love, and hell you are still walking around trying to get to your beloved after your head has been chopped clean off your shoulders? You sir, are a kittening winner in my book.
Congratulations.

I listen to some good old metal or whatever that puts me in the mood to write or read fan fiction, and thanks for posting this thread I find it fun. happy.gif

It depends on what I'm writing. It's a matter of setting the mood. At the moment, I'm mainly focusing on creepy/scary/paranormal stories, and I've been listening the the music of a youtube pianist by the name of Myuuji.



Otherwise, other creepy tracks. But regardless of what I listen to, it's almost always instrumental. Lyrics conflict with my thoughts and make things more difficult. It's all about mental imagery.
On the morning of Wednesday, April 11th, 2012, my Aunt Karla passed away. She was my mother's baby sister, and my coolest aunt when I was a kid. She was the best babysitter ever, and she was like an older sister to me.

Karly, I don't know if you can hear this. I am not a believer, I haven't been since Sheryl died. But if you can, I want you to know that I'm truly sorry for everything bad I've ever said about you. When you were suffering, I should have been there to help you. I should have visited. I should have encouraged you to leave the house and get a job, to be active and alive the way you used to be.

I promise that I will do everything that I can to be successful and a good person, to make you proud the way you would have wanted me to. No matter what I said, I loved you. And I will always love you. Rest in Peace, you will never be forgotten.

Well, as a starting point, the Death Note OST.

Oh, I haven't listened to the Death Note OST in quite some time. Then again, I haven't written anything creepy in a while either. I'm thinking the Mirai Nikki OSTs probably have some pretty creepy tracks. There's about four and they are still putting them out.

One I like especially, though it's not creepy is this:

It helps me get through all of those touching scenes and it really helps a lot with the current story I'm working on ^^

Classical is almost always the best for me. But so long as it is mainly instrumental, and so long as it has the feel that I'm going for, just about anything will do.

My playlist on my computer is what I listen to when I write, but I dont look listen to it every time. For me the mood of the music has nothing to do with the mood of the story I'm writing. The purpose of me listening to any music at all is just to get me pumped.

All trance. All the time.

Usually I go to http://www.di.fm/ and hit the vocal trance station, but I also like to listen to my weekly radio programs from Armin van Buuren and Above & Beyond from http://liveset.us too.

Mmm, trance is good. I'm not sure what you would classify this as but I listened to this in the recent chapter of the story I'm writing


It's fun to dance to as well heheelq7.png
