Anyone ever write when listening to music and get way too invested the music?

I can't write with lyrics I can follow on; even really familiar stuff breaks me out of anything approximating flow. Instrumental or a language I don't follow without having to think about it works pretty well. Same for coding (my day job.)

Background music when writing. We've all have probably tried it. But have you ever found yourself too invested in the music?

You're writing along, and before you know it you are typing in time to the melody? Then the music starts to pick up and your fingers can't keep pace. But d&#$ it! You're going to try! It's a race now! So you keep going, making a few mistakes but you're tapping along.

Then the song ends... And you just have a mess of the dreaded red scribbly lines under 60% of your work....

Many times

I do feel something listening to anime, game ops and osts but more like imagining my own anime with that kind of music within certain scenes. Did that made sense? Prob not :)))))
