writing music



here's a great playlist for a summer road trip or a morning walk. me, i've been writing to this music for a while now, and i really love these songs. when i'm brainstorming or writing, i like a song that makes me think, or gives me some insight into a character's personality, or sets the mood, or maybe even makes me stop short and feel something i've been needing to.

i've left off some songs that you're probably already listening to and tried to include the stuff you might have missed.

if you're interested in the playlist, email me as usual.

  2. play list! play list! send it to me - you have my e-mail.

    and if you want the truth, with the title of this post, i was fully expecting you to announce that in addition to all your other projects, you were also writing (as in composing) music. i wouldn't have been surprised. :)

  3. You always have such interesting and eclectic lists. I haven't heard of most of these songs. Although, that doesn't mean much, because I don't know most songs by name or group. I just know them when I hear them, lol.
