Question of the day thread number 2!
RokofAges75:
^ LOL The song you're thinking of is "Heart Without a Home," or as I call it, The Metaphor Song.
mare:
thanks! I didn't think he had a song called "Two Hearts" lol
Sakabelle:
The Metaphor Song, haha!
Music heavily influences what I write. I find that I've always loved trying to find the story in a song. So it's definitely easy for me to use music to get inspired. There will be times when I know exactly what I'm going to write that I need the peace and quiet to get a perfect scene out of my brain. But when I'm just going with the flow and letting the characters do whatever they want, that's when I need some kind of musical motivation, and that's why Running Up That Hill is so music based. Plus, with that story I like to look back at the music I've used before to get myself in the mood to write it again. So that's why I always put the lyrics at the top it's more for me than for you guys LOL.
Anyway, In Pieces was based on my interpretation of that song. I think that's actually the only BSB fic I've done with a BSB song. I also did an Avatar story based on Downpour, since Avatar is so heavily based around the elements and the two characters I write about mostly are fire and water so that song seemed to fit. I even stole a line from the song for the title lol it was called Between the Lines of Reason.
FrickingKaos:
Music does inspire ideas for stories. I've used song titles as story titles when I couldn't come up with one. If I have trouble doing that, I listen to my ipod and try to find a song that fits the story.
When I'm writing I listen to music, almost never BSB...or I watch a movie to get my creative energy flowing.
mare:
I do not have one single song on my iPod yet lol I use it for everything else except listening to music. Probably because I have no clue how to put music on it but even if I did, I would barely use it for that.
