I love this song. It’s a sweet melody sung by one of my favorite female volcalists: Elize Ryd (Amaranthe), as well as the singer from Sonata Artica. When to listen: Whenever. This is a song about togetherness. Listen to it during a scene where your characters share a moment, or even on the general playlist!

Heh… well this one should be a surprise to no one! When to listen: Um… I would say general playlist again.

I successfully learned Latin, and still botch it up on a regular basis when trying to speak it. Then what are you doing listening to this? Do you have to understand everything in … Read More Off My Writing Playlist #Music #Metal #Writing

Not a fan of Groban personally, but this is really the best version of this song I’ve heard. When to Listen: Touching scene for a touching song. This is one to listen to when you’re writing a solemn scene between some of your main characters. Something either before or after the big fight when they have some down time to express feelings. Readers, Do you … Read More From My Writing (Christmas!) Playlist #Music #Writing

This song is dumb. I mean downright dumb. Listen to the lyrics and the horrible things that they say about Africa. I know… I know… they meant Ethiopia, but they didn’t say Ethiopia, they said Africa. “There’s a world outside your window, and it’s a world of dread and fear Where a kiss of love can kill you, and there’s death in every tear … Read More From My Writing (Christmas!)

This band is a seriously acquired taste, but they grew on me over the span of a few years. When to listen: This is a powerhouse song.

Temperance is insane in some of the stuff they put out. Highly recommend giving them a listen. When to listen: This is a high stress, high pressure song. Listen to this when writing either during the final battle or during a high stress time, perhaps the initial conflict or something like that.
