Do you have a playlist especially for writing?
I kinda do. Sometimes utter silence isn’t motivating, so I have some tunes that make me go write. It changes from day to day, but I found I like tunes that have a steady rhythm to them, and lyrics that aren’t too complicated.
They basically serve to provide a background, to dispell the silence, but don’t distract frm my train of thought.
There is no correlation between the songs and my story (I hope), but Amy McDonald seems to work just as fine as Barlow Girl or Classic FM (unless they put Wagner on, in which case I end up air-conducting instead of writing).
Lately I found a particular song by ZoeGirl and another one from an unknown DJ in that playlist.
Weird, much?
