Depending on my mood, I'm a fan of Classical, Classic Rock, and Power Metal. Favorite bands are Amon Amarth, Manowar, Sabaton, Billy Joel (saw him in concert, it was pure awesome), Bruce Springstein, Led Zepplin, Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner, and Evanescence for some reason. Recently, I've been listening to this concert. Floor blows away Ghost Love Score and Ever Dream. Nightwish - Live in Concert - Live from Wacken - Full Show - 01:30:13 - HD [ 2013 Wacken, Germany ] - YouTube
There's this one song that I hear all the time on the radio driving to school, but I can't remember the artist or even the lyrics! It's really frustrating because I LOVE the song and I'd like to download it. It's this folksy/alternative rock style with definite Celtic undertones. A nice driving beat too. I wish I could find it.
Latesly I've been listening a lot to a playlist that consists of the songs from the Hobbit trilogy soundtracks - Song of the Lonely Mountain, I See Fire, and The Last Goodbye. They're beautiful and powerful. I mean get a load of this. I've been listening to it all evening and it still has the capacity to make me tear up.
I'm an avid listener of Hip-Hop, Country, Pop, Rock, some oldies, some 80's rock, and early 2k music. My favorite performer is Eminem. He always drains the anger away from me whenever I feel it or lifts me up if I'm feeling down. My favorite songs are: Lose Yourself, Soldier, I Get Money, A Lil Bit, Gunz Come Out, (Most of Eminem's music after the 2,000's), Ambitions As A Ridah, Thug Style, Keep Goin', Break Ya Neck, Aerosmith, Toby Keith, Pitbull; etc.
I usually listen to anything with a good upbeat, something to keep the blood pumping. Not in a head-banging way just enough to energize me so I can write. Other times it depends on the scene I'm writing as the music help put me in the right mood. Usually all I need is background noise. Whether it's country, rock, sound tracks, blues, classics, or even movies or TV episodes I've seen dozens of times. I.E, I'm listening to season 3 of Big Bang Theory.
I'm super in love with Tangerine Dream. It's been my writing soundtrack for the past week and I think my husband is ready to bash the t.v. in lol. Tangerine Dream
