Music

Acoustic music personally relaxes me and helps me write,

what kind of music inspires you to write poety?

Music thats about life, like how hard it is... Reallly good inspiring bands are simple plan or nickelback.. and some of Avril Lavignes songs.

Hmm. I love acoustic songs. But if I am in a certain mood that a song that is about that certain mood or situation then I listen to stuff like that. Other than that, I prefer rock. =]

Rock music(its the music i listen to) but anything with good lyrics or that reminds me of something that went wrong with me normally brings out feelings, and those feelings I can transform into poetry.

AS an fanatic music lover (I have some 800 cds last count)I write to rock, alternative, pop, contemporary jazz, traditional jazz, movie soundtracks, industrial, techno, heavy metal, new age, mash-ups, new wave (the original late 70's/early 80's new wave), punk, some classical, emo, and a lot of music that can't be classified-favorites at the moment are The Stone Roses,The Rippingtons, Straylight Run, Moby, Nine Inch Nails, Eigma, Pink Floyd (always a classic), Liz Phair, Snow Patrol, A Perfect Circle, Shakira, Vince Guaraldi, Mike Oldfield (recommend Tubular Bells 2), Radiohead ( such variety in their cds), Enya, Tragically Hip, R.E.M., Coldplay,Red House Painters (slo-core rock at it's best) Led Zeppelin, Tangerine Dream, Dave Matthews Band,etc. I seem to prefer instrumental stuff as I'm not distracted by the words, at other times the lyrics can spark off an idea, just depends on what I'm in the mood to listen to/write to. Most rap, most disco and nearly all country and ALL polkas I avoid like the plague!

Acoustic, rock... anything with sad lyrics.

Techno. ^^

And really emo things...

Dashboard Confessional
AFI
All-American Rejects

Love songs help me
any kind of love song :)

Dashboard confessional, the academy is, armour for sleep, ya know just about all rock......its pretty awesome

It depends on what type of mood I want to portray in my poetry.

For a more surreal spiritual feeling I go with Pink Floyd, or Kyuss, ya know, something spacey and out there. Anger or rage, thrash metal like Exodus, and Testament.

Generally: its about how I'm feeling or, if I'm trying to accomplish a specific message, what mood I'm wanting to invoke.

Any type of rock or metal overall: From something heavy and chaotic like Slayer, to something calm and soothing like acoustics. It all has a use.

There's way too many moods and possibilities for me to simply list here :) There's a band or genre for every style I write.

Music tht helps me write is like

-Marilyn Manson
-Flyleaf
-Within Temptation
-Ozzy Osbourne

It usually depends what kind of mood im in...theres a couple songs that just make me write like crazy though:

"even angels fall" by cruxhsadows
"she and her darkness" by diary of dreams
"this night" by black lab
...a lot by bleed the dream actually
"cellar door" by escape the fate
"hidden track" by hit the lights
"one season too late" by keepsake
"where have you been" by manchester orchestra
"your stories, my alibis" by matchbook romance
"roads" by my dying bride
"the grim goodbye" by the red jumpsuit apparatus
"wake up" by three days grace
"come back" by the early november

its instrumental but amazing && *always* inspires me
"best case scenario" by mortal treason

...wow i guess thats a lot & its not even half heh musics a big inspiration to me can u tell : )

Especially depressing songs inspire me or songs about the sunshine and being outdoors and natury

I honestly think any music inspires me to write

Hmm thats hard cos i write lots of poems when i listen to a song and i hear a line, usually relating to child abuse etc like martina mcbride.

music is a good inspiration! x

I like a lot of ambient music while I am writing a poem. It calms me.

Any music

And i also just use my surroundings as well

Classical or instrumental.

Yelp, him is the one!

Metal. Gets my brain pumpin'. :D

Anything,
Espically songs with meaning,
If you want something to get you thinking,
try Missing you-1st lady.
Or
radios in heaven-plain white tees

hope this helps :)

xx

Yah I like listening to her too and any kinds of music when I write...

Slow sad..touching music...
it helps me to come up with new ideas...

ANy kind of music. If there is a beat or a rythem i like to attempt to capture it in the moment! Music is the best thing in the world why let it go to waste ^^

Ii LOVE ACROUSTiiC MUSiiC.
ii COULD SiiT iiN MY ROOM AND LiiSTEN TO
iiT ALL DAY SOMETiiMES.
iiTS RELAXiiNG. BUT ii LiiSTEN TO PRETTY MUCH EVERY STYLE OF MUSiiC. [[EXCEPT LiiKE OPERA N WHATNOT.]] ;D ii GET iiNSPiiRATiiON FROM CERTAiiN SONGS THAT HELP ME WRiiTE BETTER.

It depents on my mood..

I like listening to really really loud rock music, it makes me not pay attention to anything. Then I can switch to Lennon and I am totally in the writing mood right there.

Rock music, or emo music
and yes, dashboard confessional

I listen to metal and some ska
HIM always gets me in the mood to write tbh

love that band =]

It has to be music with no vocals otherwise i will end up writting down what I am listening to by accident!

The music that helps me write my poems the most would have to be love songs

I like music in the catigory of disturbed....
it helps me tap into my depression which helps me write poems

Explosions in the sky and Lone wolf & cub are two fantastic intrumental bands if anyone is looking for inspiration in that category

Its the sad music,or soft tracks that makes me write any feelings.....

I usually don't listen to music...funny thing is, several of my poems sound like black/death metal (as in killing and all that) and I don't even like that kind of music...
