What do you feel when you listen to some music?
How does some types of music make you feel? Do you have any examples? For me, i really like the Jonas Brothers and when i listen to some of their songs i get a feeling that i dont really understand. Im listening to them as i type and i feel as if im going to cry but i dont think im sad. I really like their music and even when i went to their concert i almost cryed in the crowd as they performed. Do you ever get a feeling like this? What songs give you certain feelings?
Do you listen to music while writing?
Rarely will I listen to a song that has words while writing. The song I do listen to while writing to block out the world around me is Naruto Shippuuden - Hurricane Suite It's 10 minutes long. It's soothing. It's perfect. So far, it's been played 790 times on my itunes. If it's 10 minutes long...I wonder how many hours I've listened to it. Hmm... =) But I do have a playlist that I listen to for inspiration. Such as Sunshine by All American Rejects When the Day Met the Night by Panic at the Disco Basically the whole CD Pretty Odd by Panic at the Disco =p
Why do people write while listening to music?
I personally decide what i want to write. Then find music to match the mood of what im writing. People are influenced by their moods, which are in turn influenced by many things including music. If your writing a battle scene for a novel, listening to something like TSFH is great. If your writing romance, listen to a love ballad. Your writing will improve in quality of description, because the musoc makes you feel as though you are there.PS: just my opinion/experience and also, typing this out on a phone os a pain.Hope this helps.
What are the best songs to listen to while writing?
I advise you not to listen to music while you are writingIt is a distraction. It could calm you down when you need your guts on fire.To be clear...Thinking about writing can be done anywhereYou may find stimulus in a crowded roomInspiration and ideas can come from anywhere, but once you start to put your thoughts down you should be isolated from the real world. You are now in your own worldI have discussed this with artists as well, who also feel that background music is distractingFor many years I had background music, and have a large library covering jazz and classical to play when writing. Once I stopped playing it I wondered how I ever did anything with it on. It is one stage away from having the phone ringing.I am luckyI am totally deaf, and when I work I remove my hearing aids so I am totally isolated from the world.On ocassions I will also draw the curtains so that the room is darkenedI know this may sound eccentric, and you will get much advice to the opposite, but I suggest that you try it for a while and see how it affects your workI might add that prior to becoming a writer I was a professional musicianMakeMovies Database
How can you write your own song, lyrics and music?
I can't really help you with the music part, I'm not much of a musician myself. But I do lyrics.... :-) Brainstorm! Use whatever is around you when writing lyrics. 1. What mood are you in? Feed that with words. Sit down and write a bunch of words out that describe/relate to how you're feeling. 2. What have you been doing lately? Put what you or your peeps have been going through into a story, or just say how you feel about it. 3. What are your passions? Things you feel strongly about? Maybe turn it into an encouraging song, or something that inspires others to take action. 4. Listen to other music, let it grab hold of you, and write what you feel. Sometimes I just sit down and listen to the radio. Or listen to a spesific band, and what will most likely happen is whatever kind of music you listen too, that's what will come out on paper (no, this does not mean you're copying! It actually works.)
What kind of songs do you like?
I listen to almost all kinds of rock. 70s 80s rock, alternative, oldies, hard rock, rock 'n' roll, I listen to it all lol. I do listen to some pop. But none of that weird crap like Justin Berber. Just those new songs that Rhianna or Katy Perry sing. I'll pretty much listen to anything except rap and country.
Is it okay to listen to music while writing stories?
I almost always listen to music while I write, and I find that it can help get your creative juices flowing! It is totally okay to write and listen to music at the same time.Here's a tip: make playlists for certain moods or stories. Put songs on the playlists that'll help you get into your story and enter the characters' minds. For example, if you're writing about a heartbroken person searching for the meaning of life, use songs with a melancholy tilt. If you're writing something that's action-packed and thrilling, use songs that make you want to drive at 90 mph and overthrow a small country. Music relating to your writing can also help block out everything else that's in the real world, effectively helping you immerse yourself in your world. It's really hard to be writing a medieval love story while your housemate watches Gordon Ramsey scream at people, but putting on some noise-cancelling headphones and listening to Gregorian chants can help keep you in your medieval mood. I've found that songs can give me a little jolt of inspiration when I've run out, too. Maybe you hear one line and you think "oh my god, I could have my characters do X, Y, Z!" It's really great when that happens, trust me.Here's an article that may help you out a little!44 Perfect Songs To Listen To While You Write Those are all songs suggested by fellow writers. Happy Writing!
Do you ever get inspiration while listening to music? If so, what's your favorite type of music to listen to?
Yes, definitely.“There’s nothing new under the sun,” so I would highly recommend looking for inspiration when you are stuck in a rut.In the context of creating or producing music, it is common practice to get inspiration from other successful pieces of music.A producer usually has a few go-to tracks that they use as a reference for their own mixes. It has nothing to do with the genre or the artist but more with how the vocals sit in the mix, or how the drums were recorded, etc. The mix resonates with them on a powerful level and they want to convey that same emotion in their own work.As far as songwriting, a good example would be the band Coldplay. Every song I have heard from Coldplay sounds like another song I have already heard, but of course, has their own twist. They even got into a little trouble over “Viva la Vida” with another famous guitarist/songwriter who had a legitimate beef that they took his melody verbatim and made millions.That being said, I believe there is a HUGE difference between plagiarism and inspiration. You wouldn't even know what music is if you didn't hear it before, and the brain and the subconscious is so complex that most of the time you won't even realize when you are being inspired by something from your past.Personally, when writing music, if I don't have anything to get me going, I will take a hit song I like, and take something subtle (usually drum beat) and that gets things warmed up. Given, I also recommend writing 100 songs and picking the best 10 before hitting the studio.As far as a soecific genre to get inspiration. Listen to it all. All the greats. I am not fond of country music, but I can definitely appreciate Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw. Heck, “my old friend” by Tim McGraw made me cry.If the question is referring to “inspiration” in a more general sense, my bad. Can't help you there.
What type of music do you listen to?
I listen to a lot of music, it’s basically the only form of media I consume. As a result, I listen to a wide variety of music.Power/Progressive/Symphonic/Thrash Metal - I used to think Metal was all shouting, but then I found about these genres, and now I mainly listen to these subgenres of music. I like these subgenres of Metal for the sheer energy, clean vocals, and lack of generic Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus structure.Some songs from the genre I like:Pop Punk - I’ve always been into pop punk, but I only really started to get into it during the month of July. I mostly listen to Pop Punk with my other friends who listen to pop, and when I am in an “edgy” mood. I like a whole bunch of bands, but my favorites from this genre are Panic! at the Disco, Set it Off, and Billy Talent.Some songs from the genre I like:Rap - Although I don’t listen to Rap often, I do enjoy certain artists quite a bit. I like quite a bit of rap. On the serious side of things, I like artists such as Eminem (I know, very cliché. In my opinion, Eminem is an artist that I believe is popular and not overrated.), Logic, Aesop Rock and Kendrick Lamar. All of these rap artists have meaningful lyrics which contribute to my enjoyment of them. On the opposite spectrum, I listen to rappers such as Froggy Fresh, Tech N9ne, and certain Pokemon Rappers (I used to be a huge pokemon nerd). These rappers don’t have the most meaningful lyrics, but I like the humor.Some songs from the genre I like:(The first 6 minutes are just backstory, feel free to skip it)Avante-Garde Music - Avante-Garde music is very experimental and weird, and they aren’t afraid to be very different from regular music. It’s really weird, but good. I like it when it’s done well.Some songs from the genre I like:So yeah, I have a diverse taste in music and if you give me music to listen to I’m willing to listen to everything atleast once.
Can I listen to songs while studying?
Why Not?I used to study while listening to music. When I was 15 I prepared for my 10th final exams (called THSLC in Kerala, is a Board of Technical Studies exam), playing "Gentleman"(a newly released Tamil Movie, Rahman's 2nd Tamil Hit, I think! ) of A.R. Rahman in a loop (there was no ipods at that time so I have to manually change the sides in a cassete player) and passed with a First Class (above 60%)Anyway, that was my my case. None of my friends supported me on my habit of listening music while studying. Some even tried hard to stop me from doing it saying "Don't Play with your Final Exams". But parents were supportive, Thanks to them!Studies have been conducted that some types of music such as classical music can improve the brain's capacity to solve spatial problem. When you listen to music while studying, your brain is activated to think spatially.Experiments have been conducted to prove if the theory of listening to classical music can improve the memory skill of the students. In 1993, a psychologist performed this experiment and he used the music of Mozart to a group of students. He then gave the students an exam to test the memory skill. The test proved that those who listened to Mozart has higher scores. This is popularly known as the Mozart effect.Here's another study by Nick Perham and Joanne VizardPage on readcube.com
