Sooooo…I wondered if you had any songs that make you think of someone/a certain scene in your stories. Possibly even your entire story. Just some music that makes you go, “this is the story of my character’s life!” or “this is my villain’s theme.” Anyways, thought this might be fun. 🙂

@ingridrd I’ve thought of this before and it does sound like a ton of fun. For some reason, though, I can never seem to find the perfect song. Any suggestions of where to look?
October 24, 2017 at 3:46 pm #49734@emily I usually find them by chance, whenever I’m listening to the radio or something.
@kate-flournoy I listened to that song and it sounds like you have a very interesting MC. 😉A dreamer who believes in the impossible...and dragons. (INFJ-T)
October 24, 2017 at 4:31 pm #49750@ingridrd I love listening to soundtracks – they often remind me of my daydreamed stories. It’s awesome. Have you heard the song “Shells” from the Finding Dory movie. It’s the song that’s playing when Dory (SPOILER ALERT!!!) reunites with her parents. When I hear that song, I also think of reunion or reconciliation.
@emily So yeah I would highly recommend listening to soundtracks from movies, TV shows, games, etc. Instrumental music in general is a must, come to think of it. Anything that elicits emotion! Something that make you feel like you wanna cry. Those are the best kinds of songs, in my opinion!

October 24, 2017 at 4:48 pm #49757Has anyone heard of the show Dear Evan Hansen? The song Waving Through a Window is basically the life of my MC. Here it is.

October 24, 2017 at 7:26 pm #49762I love Audiomachine music. @emily TREE OF LIFE!!! *dies* So beautiful!
Although I think one song that I really think is inspiring is by Enya, The River Sings. I love that one…very hero-returns-from-journey-ish.
For my upcoming WIP, I find that Stained Glass by Jon Guerra is perfect. It’s basically for his character arc.

@dragon-snapper Yeah, it’s awesome. Btw, why do people always “die” when they love something? I just listened to that one by Enya. It’s beautiful!
@dekreel You should listen to it. It’s very inspirational in my opinion.October 24, 2017 at 9:10 pm #49791@emily … Um… *shrugs* Maybe it comes from the term, “It’s to die for…” ? Which never made sense to me because if you died for it then you can’t have it. Okay, so I didn’t die. I pretended to die. I’m still alive!

@dragon-snapper I am pleased to hear it. Lol
October 24, 2017 at 9:17 pm #49796@dragon-snapper exactly. More accurate term… “It’s so good you want to live forever and have it always.” 😛 Perhaps those people meant “if it’s in heaven, take me now.” *shrug*
