One more favorite. It's in a lot of music for writing, dark ambience, etc., lists, but this recording is by the composer.

Fighting for everything I want. And I want so much. This gets me every time.

And, of course, the crying song with a big thanks to @Serra K

Love those violin pieces!

I love Agnes Obel's music. Here's a performance in Paris:

Not a composer but a virtuoso interpreter, may she brighten your life as she does mine.

TW: War themes

 

[Julie]

I couldn't possibly listen to anything while writing - I need total focus.

I'm exactly the same. The only time I'll listen to music is if I'm trying to evoke a particular mood, in which case I'll free-write and then try to capture the emotion in words that go with my story.

Nevertheless, I'm enjoying seeing what others like to listen to.

Hi all, someone (I think @Mel L ) suggested a thread for sharing our favorite writing playlists. Here's mine

Nordic-style (also some Slavic) music:

I can't listen to music whilst I am writing, but I have different playlists (depending on my WIP) for inspiration to get me in the mood to write - 'The Resistance' by Muse, Barcelona by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe, anything by Karl Jenkins, and occasionally a bit of Mika!

Ah dang guess NBC only works in the states. This version has a long piano sequence slapped on the end to make it permissible as a different video, but really the only part I'm talking about is the song / video for "Rise". Let me know if it works.

Okies, watching now

Love the piano bit too.

Love the piano bit too.

It is beautiful, too Just not the original.

I just love this rainbow version.

 

[Peyton Stafford]

Sigh. Love this guy's renditions. Must be the polar climate...

 

[Peyton Stafford]

Sigh...

 

[Peyton Stafford]

I just love this rainbow version.

Love the ukulele. Ooh... The song is an LGBTQ anthem here in the US. And for those of us with imagination, too.

 

[Pamela Jo]

My new focus music.

 

[Peyton Stafford]

Giving me chills... Read the composer's comments.

I should recommend this composer's channel. He has the magic... at least for me.

I love his quote: "A drink from your well Uncle Mimir." --Odin

Another of my favorite songwriter/singers.

And here is my favorite song of hers. It touches themes many of us write about. I will stop talking and let Litopians listen.

 

[Peyton Stafford]

Another favorite band. Notice the corroded brass of orchestra's woodwinds... Lovely touch.

Seamus Heaney--if you do not know him, read Seamus Heaney - Wikipedia. I loved his poem Whiskey and Eggs. Here's a tribute to him and to all great Irish writers from Royal Albert Hall featuring Imelda May.
