Not metal, but given where most of our music comes from, metalheads should appreciate this. This song is extremely old and has a lot of history to it. It is hauntingly beautiful and relaxing. Everything sounds better in Swiss. When to listen: Honestly, I use it when brainstorming or when relaxing between writing sessions. It really is a song that can be used in multiple … Read More From My Writing Playlist

Sabaton kind of reminds me of the Dropkick Murphys with this song, but it’s still a good one. When to listen: Charged with positive energy, so I’d say during writing fatigue. It’s a good way to recharge while still getting some inspiration.   Readers, Do you have a question about writing, publishing, my stories, etc?

  Not even the Imperial March could come close to being as recognizable and identifiable as the Top Gun theme. Far more simplistic in nature, yet bombastic and upbeat at the same time. It is such an iconic theme clearly right out of 80s Hair Metal, that you can’t ignore it. When to Listen: … yeah this is another upbeat writer’s block song.
