What music inspires you to write?

Music..as for such, would have to be certain bands. As in, Staind, Evanesence, and Linkin Park. There lyrics are powerful.

Hamell on Trail
Deftones
Incubus

Cold- wasted years
Staind-outside
Korn
Coal Chamber-My Frustration

Music sometimes gets me inspired to write. Like Deftones, Zug Izland, Esham, and bands that have songs that are bout having a rough relationship life.

Rap~~~
Eminem
50 cent
2Pac

Hip hop~~~
Avril Lavigne
Nelly
R Kelly
Pink

slipknot cradle of filth marlin manson staind three days grace our lady peace sarah mclachlan

I don't listen to music befor I write I don't want it screwing with what I write. I want the words to come from me.

I have wriiten poems based on songs by Sting and the Police...old stuff..read my poem" Once upon a Daydream" and you will see its in the songs` style and rhythym. Thanx, Timothy r

I like heavy music.. played really loud.. Sad, dark music. I love Chevelle "Red", "Send the pain below" and "Closure" I also love to write to Seether, Shinedown and Dashboard confessionals

Must be played loud.. and I am set to write ;-)

Music is the way to your soul.. You hear it, and you get this feeling of insperation.

I listen to soft rock and love songs are great!!

I've written parodies of the Beatles, Elvis, The Stones, Billy joel, and a few others. Often they don't turn out too good!!!!

Songs without lyrics do the best for me, but symphonic music is always pretty sootheing~

songs like a mad world by gary juels......for some reason this is where some of my ghost poems comes from. Odd I know but its the beat in the background that sents the mood for me

emo, rock and metal, bands like afi,the used,korn,hole and distillers and stuff yaaay

Nirvana
And you will know us by the trail of dead
Placebo
Deftones
Slipknot
Bowling for soup
Funeral for a friend
Taking Back Sunday
Blink 182
Finch......Foo Fighters.......Il Nino........ Norma Jean
and many, many more

Really Sappy Love Songs. lol

Eminem, 50 cent Usher all inspire me to write

i like to listen to slow love songs such as marvin gaye and the temtations

three dyas grace
chronic futrue
beethoven
alicia keys
puddle of mud

Definately....I usually listen to Hoobastank, Linkin Park, Creed, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Korn, stuff like that. But I have my days where I listen to like slow jams by Boyz II Men, or Tyrese, I LOVE TUPAC!!! and so yea.......

Backstreet boys
Nsync
98degrees
O-Town
B*Witched

LOL jk, I think most of my inspiration comes from Country music like Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney (Whoa... I'm all hott just typing that name), and Lonestar... besides them Id say Trapt, Switchfoot, and Jason Marz. As for females, anything Jessica Simpson and definatly Vannessa Carlton

haha try to guess that one.....(lpfan......Linkin Park....) haha

Whatever is playing ... mostly Rock though.

Well, usually I think it depends on how I'm feeling. But bands that seems to get out MORE of my emotion are:

Linink Park
Dashboard Confessional
12 Stones
CKY (well just ONE song by them though.. called "Close Yet Far")
Skillet
Third Eye Blind (but not as much cuz I can't listen to them anymore.)
The All-American Rejects
Evanescence

That's all I can think of at the moment. I think there might actually be more though. lol

Music does inspire me to write. Artists that really inspires me are 2pac, Nas, and Boyz II Men.

One song is inspiring me so much right now

Foo Fighters ''Learn To Fly''

Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me
Get things right

Hook me up a new revolution
Cos this one is a lie
We sat around laughing
And watch the last one die

Chorus
I’m looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something help me burn out bright

I’m looking for complications
Looking cos I’m tired of lying (’trying’ in 2nd chorus)
Make my way back home
When I learn to fly (high)

Verse 2
Think I’m done nursing the patience
I can wait one night
I’d give it all away
If you give me one last try

We live happily ever trapped
If you just save my life
Run and tell the angels
That everything is all right

Chorus

Bridge
Fly along with me
I can’t quite make it alone
Try to make this life my own

well.....songs with gr8 music and deep lyrics, it just triggers sumthin....

native american music

some classic rock(zeppelin, eagles, beatles, floyd, etc.)

and the smashing pumpkins

aaaaah.......

great lyrics cantchangeme. :)

j lo
evanescence
linkin park
simple plan

blues

every song can inspire me, but when I am writing I prefer to have a soundtrack in the background. The Bourse Identity is a perfect soundtrack for writing something with an edge of suspense.

GREEN DAY!!!!!!!! and lots of other bands....
