Agreed. When writing an action scene, I need extremely loud and zany songs, but if the song happens to switch to a slow one, then the quality of writing drops dramatically. So basically, binge metal, kids!

@HoldenKern, @HoldenKern, "Kids." I found this hilarious (no disrespect) because you're twelve, aren't you? Haha!

@Andrew Knight, Bingo! Come on, I'm tired. Give me a break. (You probably shouldn't, since my breaks can range from 5 minutes to a lifetime.)

@HoldenKern, I'll give you a break, but only because you remind me of myself at that age. I've always been an old soul

@Andrew Knight, Hey, I see the wrong and stupid in every person around me. I don't know if that's because of an "old soul" or I'm just cynical. Or maybe I'm a cynical old soul. Or I'm crazy. I'm hungry. Is anyone else hungry? Because I am. Maybe some prunes and sardines will help. Ha!

@HoldenKern, It's 9:16 where I am. PM. I'm half-awake waiting for my med prescription to be filled for tonight. I'm not hungry; I'm a zombie.

@HoldenKern, these days, I totally don't mind being called a kid. I've been wearing anti-wrinkle cream since I was 22 as a preventative measure. Mistaken for younger, the better.

And yes, the songs I am currently listening to for this scene I'm on are way too basic to even mention, its almost embarrassing.

@shnuffeluv, BRAAAAINS!! Wait, no. BUUUURGEEERS! It's 9:18 over here as well. I've just had a day and 3 quarters.

@Frances, I see...well, I'm way too short for my own good (or everyone in my school are radioactive tree monsters. I would read that comic), so I get mistaken for like a fifth grader sometimes. It's a harsh life we live. Cold, alone, and short. Give to the "Short Children Charity", help dwarves in need!

@HoldenKern, oh honey, your twelve, give yourself a few years. You'll be fine. I promise. Its all uphill for you but at 27, its all downhill for me haha

@Frances, Ha! I'm sure you're doing fine. Me, on the other hand, should probably get some shut eye before I fall asleep on my keyboard. See ya, NaNos!

@HoldenKern, Enjoy it while it lasts! And it doesn't last long, trust me

@HoldenKern, I've got my meds! Finally! Hopefully this'll keep my bipolar tendencies in check! Night!

My wife looooves Lady A, she has some great music out there, real feel-good stuff

What kind of scene are you trying to inspire?

@Frances, Well something dark but not too dark. It's a scene where my main character meets with a counsel. And there is a funeral too.

@Sophia Laney, There's a band called H.I.M you might like. It's gothic rock so it might fit the tone of the scene you're writing.

@Nicole Armas, Thanks I'll check them out.

@Sophia Laney, No problem!

@Sophia Laney, Ok so some of these aren't "rock" but they are intense and little dark, I like to use them for my stuff sometimes

Bastille & Gabrielle Aplin, "Dreams"

Gemma Hayes, "Cloudbursting"

Banks, "Drowning"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXwl0X9057o

Banks, "Brain"

Meg Meyers, "Sorry"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym1J5IAk2P4

It's not rock necessarily, but Imagine Dragons "Demons" can sober you up.

@Frances, thanks! I love Banks!

@shnuffeluv, Thanks! I'll totally check it out.

@Sophia Laney, Me too!! her stuff is so fabulously moody!

@Frances, omg I love the music you chose! Thank you so much!

@Frances, yes it is. I love Goddess and Waiting Game. I discovered her on Spotify. How about you? which songs do you like?

@Sophia Laney, Yay!!! I thought it might work. I wrote a story about a American nurse in WW2 with bad PTSD to that last soundtrack winter and it worked wonders.

@Sophia Laney, I really love the ones I sent you but those two you mentioned are great too! Drowning might be my favorite.

@shnuffeluv, By the way, I love Imagine Dragons

@Sophia Laney, aren't they good? I love using them as mood music

Wow. I just listened to it and all I gotta say is........that was amazing.

This is absolutely beautiful! I love pieces that are purely instrumental. Have you heard this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3BuTwCOa4c The pianist isn't very well known, but I love his compositions. :)

That's awesome! The music that was used in Deemo, this game, is also fantastic. Most are instrumentals and they can really get you going.

The Cinematic Orchestra <3 I love their song To Build A Home (it was used in my all time fave film, Another Earth) and anything from Patrick Watson

That song is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now Plot bunnies are attacking me! haha

@JellyKat, that was actually really pretty! He's good!
