As an author, I draw inspiration from a lot of sources and music is a pretty big one. I like to listen to songs before I start writing to ease into a more creative and emotional mindset, whether I’m preparing to write an angsty scene or a joyful one. While my favorite songs change pretty often, these are the top ten I’ve been listening to while working on my current series.
“A 1000 Times”-Hamilton and RostamThis song has angst. It has crooning. It has LONGING. Go listen to it. The whole album (I Had a Dream That You Were Mine) is very good, too.
“Homecoming”-Kanye West feat. Chris Martin“Homecoming” is a love song about a city rather than a person (and please don’t ask me how long it took me to figure out that “Windy” is the “Windy City” and not a girl named Wendy.)  Anyway, it’s a nostalgic tribute, both uplifting and bittersweet. Kanye West has done some epic songs, but this might be my favorite.
“Drive”-HalseyWhen I listen to this, I feel like I’m driving on the highway in the summer with the windows down, and my relationship is falling apart. If you want to feel like that too (and who doesn’t?), go check it out. But seriously, I love Halsey’s voice, and she does a mean love song.
“This Side of Paradise”-Hayley KiyokoThis is a song that creates the perfect atmosphere of dreamy longing. It has a little bit of a dance/80s-type beat (like a lot of Kiyoko’s songs), but it manages to still feel sad and personal and wistful.
“Nature Boy”-Nick CaveNobody does weird-happy love songs like Nick Cave. Nobody. This song just makes me feel joyful, like everything is going to work out fine, and true love really is the most powerful thing in the world.
“Here With Me”-Susie Suh & Robot KochThis song is just lovely. It’s soft, slow, haunting, and infused with longing. Great to listen to to get into an introspective frame of mind.
“Famous Blue Raincoat”-Leonard CohenLeonard Cohen is one of my go-to artists for angst, and this might be the angstiest of them all. Listen to everything on this album (Songs of Love and Hate) if you want to feel a soul-deep sort of sorrow.
“Treasure”-Bruno MarsThis song just makes me feel good. It’s fun and romantic and you can dance to it. Also, you can pretend that Bruno Mars is singing the lyrics directly to you…which everyone does…right?
“Love Story”-Taylor SwiftThis is another that makes me really happy. It’s so cheerful and romantic. Also, it’s Romeo-and-Juliet-themed with a happy ending! How could you not love that?
“Country Feedback”—R.E.M.So, I listened to this song about twenty times when I broke up with my high school boyfriend. (Is that TMI?) Anyway, the lyrics don’t make much sense, but it’s painful and raw and the perfect inspiration for even the most angsty scenes.
