Normally when I write, I try and listen to something that will pump me up rather than picking a playlist made especially for one WIP or another. I personally don't have a problem tuning out music with words (usually at least) And this playlist is actually over 3 hours long, so I'm posting an abbreviated list here! And since the playlist is a mix of country and pop songs, I abbreviated it to just some of the country songs.
Granted, I also listen to 80s rock and Sabaton while I write sometimes, but those have their own playlists...

What genre do you listen to the most while writing? Can you listen to music with lyrics? Do you want to see the pop side of this playlist?
I usually listen to acapella while I'm doing...anything. Also, Piano Guys and Lindsey Sterling. And I don't have any trouble tuning the words out, either! All the people who are bothered by words perplex me. XD
ReplyDeleteOoh! I love the Piano Guys and Lindsey Stirling. Stirling's cover of It Ain't Me? *chef's kiss*
DeleteAnd naturally I LOVE the Piano Guy's Mission Impossible theme. The music video is just AMAZING!
I listen to Lo-fi and/or jazz. Helps my brain function easier haha I do listen to stuff with lyrics sometimes! Mostly Niall Horan's Flicker album; it's soft and comforting to the ear. I'd love to see the pop playlist!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've heard of Niall Horan...I'll have to look it up!
DeleteI sometimes listen to music with words, I love songs that just give me the vibe. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite playlists is actually not mine but I follow Rosemary's which is called Golden Boy: story idea. Its' on Spotify. COuse I like my new WIP playlist I've made as well.

I'll have to try and find it. (TBH I usually just make a playlist for each WIP and then...not use it. Whoops)
Deletewhen I'm writing it doesn't matter whether there are words (with the exception of songs i haven't heard before, then my curiosity gets the better of me and i end up paying attention to that instead :)
ReplyDeletewhen I'm writing it very the mood/sound of the song, they all have the same feel to them regardless of genre.
That makes sense...I basically just mentally wipe everything when I'm writing (Usually just distraction wise, but sometimes also writing ability. Oopsie)
DeleteGood choices, I listen to a mix of things.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
