What kind of music do you usually listen to when you’re writing something?

[ElijahRyne]

No

Not even North Korean propaganda music?

Sou só eu que ouço canções nacionais com temas heroicos enquanto escrevo ficção?

Sabaton.

Agradeço seu excelente gosto musical; minhas cenas de ação e emoções intensas agora estão a salvo!

Wow, everyone's got such cool taste in music.

I try to listen to music without lyrics or with lyrics I don't understand since I get easily distracted by them.
My choice varies but recently it's been a lot of RADWIMPS and Vaundy.

Soft vibes

Rock vibes

wow, I loved the second song, thank you for the recommendation.

Eu não ouço música enquanto escrevo, bem, não consigo me concentrar enquanto ouço música.?

I’m so sorry for you :( The official “Writers Addicted to Music While Writing” association will hold a dramatic emergency prayer at 23:99 sharp in honor

I don't speak Portuguese.

For me it depends. I listen to music that fits the situation, usually. Action scenes, I listen to something fast paced, like enigmatic encounter. For more slice of life scenes, I'll just write whatever sets the mood I'm going for, but I often listen to just random elevator music.

 

[Jalvin]

Music distracts me while writing, unfortunately. I can have ambient music play for a little while but about 5-10 minutes, it'll eventually distract me, too.

It's really best for me not to turn on music when writing.

I don't listen to music while writing, well i can't focus while listening to music ?

OMG same! ?

 

[Devilish]

Eu não falo português.

kkkkkkkkkkk, sorry, it's dificult to think in one language and write in another, this happenseven when i write articles, but it was just a joke

Tis fine. I just can't understand your reply, but nothing weird or anything.

 

[CanOfTuna]

Don't @ me if you don't listen to igorrr one day and then kawaii future bass the next

 

[Nekyo]

Deep focus dark music. Or piano, orchestral, symphonic, orchestral versions of OSTs that I love from anime and games, Dark Souls, Undertale, Nier Automata, etc.

Sometimes, I pump myself up with Anime Openings and imagine how the Anime opening of my series would be depending on the arc and song, and then I end up not writing anything and doing karaoke all night.

 

[Firestorm22345]

I listened to Classical Bushido Music if I became stress to write the novel. Sometimes FNF music tracks, rap music and others

 

[McPhoenixDavid]

I have a big problem: I’ve become addicted to writing while listening to music, which isn’t very good because in silent places, with no atmosphere or emotional charge, I simply can’t write and I believe many writers are like this, so please send me your best songs and help out a fellow writer with some serious bad habits, I need to draw emotions from music and put them into my texts. Music helps me reflect and dive deeper into what I write, but I’m running out of songs that spark new emotions for me to work with, so here I am, on my knees, begging for good songs that I don’t know yet.

Here are my two favorite songs to write to:
Does the Swallow Dream of Flying – Cosmo Sheldrake

Love Me – She Wants Revenge

I listen to nothing but my neighbors' disturbing sounds and them moving furniture across the floor every minute. I wonder how many have they ended so far.

 

[CharlesEBrown]

If there is music playing while I'm writing, 95% of the time it's because someone else turned it on and I didn't notice. The other 5% is because some random line in something (usually either pre-1980 pop, or mid-80s "counter-culture" (Punk, New Wave, etc.) stuff) inspired me to start and I just kept going.

 

[MFontana]

It really depends on the project I'm working on.
For The Elarian Chronicles and Aethara though, I tend to listen to a lot of symphonic metal (Nightwish, Kamelot, Within Temptation, etc etc)
For Aestelle Nocte, it really depends on the the chapter content, but it will be one of a few different character-centric playlist mixes that I've put together.

 

[Xeoz]

White noise. Just found out that I'm having a hard time writing with music because my ADHD flares up for some odd reason...

 

[InceTagn]

It depends of the theme of the story. If I'm writing horror I'll listen to love songs

 

[CYY]

I listen to phonk bruh help me ???
My Story: The Duke’s Pirate

No way me too! Gives me a headache though. Either phonk, or taylor swift and other pop singers.

Omg Phonk makes my ears busy hahhahahah ??

 

[A-Random-Writer]

Am I the only one who hears national songs with heroic themes while writing the fiction?

Nope. I do the same thing, I mat be biased towards the US anthem but "The rockets red glare" is pretty fire for a poem turned into a anthem.
