From My Writing Playlist #Amaranthe #Metal #Sabaton #82nd #Music

I actually love this more than the Sabaton version. I’m a huge fan of Elize Ryd and am actually going to meet her this coming August! This song also reaches me on another level because… well… My grandfather was All American 82nd. So yeah, big time love on this one! When to listen:  General playlist, tons of positive vibes and multiple places where this would … Read More From My Writing Playlist #Amaranthe #Metal #Sabaton #82nd #Music

From My Writing Playlist

Got a request to recommend a good ‘rock opera’ song. Really it doesn’t get any better than Avantasia and in particular this song! The Great Mystery has everything; chorus, amazing instrumentals, guest performance by metal legend Bob Catley from Magnum… oh yeah! This has to be on my list! When to listen:  I’ll give you a hint, skip to 9:19. Then picture your favorite Disney … Read More From My Writing Playlist

Off My Writing Playlist

I can’t believe I’m doing this…   You’re a stronger person than I am if you can watch this video and still take this band seriously. All I’m going to say… When to listen: DON’T!!!! Hahahaha Just kidding. This is a psych out song. Don’t listen to it while writing. You kind of have to watch the video to really get the full effect. It’s … Read More Off My Writing Playlist

As the Holiday season comes to … Read More For the Kids!

From My Writing Playlist

Yeah, no Heavy Metal playlist is complete without at least 5 songs by Dragonforce. This song is pure adrenaline. It makes you feel good, it’s upbeat, and I love it. When to Listen: Well, it’s on my general playlist and I like to listen to it whenever, but if you’re looking for a specific time to listen to it… burnout. I’m not kidding. Are … Read More From My Writing Playlist
