Some writing music: Part 12 -SUMMER SPECIAL-

Good day inmates!

It’s summer time finally! The sun is beaming down (occasionally), the sky is ever-blue and the island I live on is full of visitors. Oh yes, summer! The time of year for music festivals, trips to the beach, road trips along sweltering roads and wonderful parties at sunset. The time of stargazing and sunbathing. It’s my favorite time of year, believe it or not. I wanted to post another chapter of the Harlequins writing music, but I thought it would be fun to do it a bit differently this time. We’re here to celebrate the summer after all!

So yes! This is the “Summer Special” of the Harlequins writing music! Let’s all rejoice and party and all that! I’m going to post some summery songs that I may write with sometimes. I find that my productivity goes up noticeably during hot weather, it just makes me feel more energetic and creative. Since this is a special, I’m not too bothered about posting songs by artists that I have posted in the previous chapters of writing music. Some bands have dark depressing tunes, while still having energetic ‘party-esque’ summer numbers. These songs will represent the innate nature of summer. Some will be high tempo beach party songs, some may be spirited and optimistic holiday anthems, while others may be slower watching-over-a-sunset tunes. Let’s see what we get eh?

Now, let us delve into the musical minds of aestival artists the world over!

So there we go! That’s it for our celebration of the summer months. I hope you’ve enjoyed this special edition of the Harlequins writing music! I feel that each of these songs is quite summery, you can’t really have summer music without at least one Blink 182 or Offspring song eh? Give each of these bands a try if you haven’t already, you shan’t be disappointed! Anyway, I hope each and everyone one of you out there is having a wonderful summer! I intend to! Best keep those tans topped up right?!

Until next time, have a very crazy day inmates!

Some writing music: Part 1

Greetings inmates!

Raise your hand if you like to write or type in silence?

I’m willing to bet that the majority of people play some music while they do, whether it’s to help them think or to just to keep the silence away. Some people listen to their favourite artists, whether it be a metal band, a rapper or some kind of DJ. Personally, i always listen to music while writing. It helps me think and I can say for certain that quite a lot of my ideas have been inspired by various songs. I’m going to post some of the songs here that i like to listen to while i come up with my stories, poems and characters. Some of these will be probably unsurprising: esoteric, ghostly electronic numbers. Others… not so much. Some may almost seem like they would hinder one’s thought process.

Allow me to introduce some of the Oldschool Harlequins writing music…
