Happy Monday! Woo-hoo two weeks in a row with Music Monday. Last week I mentioned an idea I wanted to do for this segment and this week I'm kicking it off.
Music is a big part of my writing process. I've talked about it before, and it's why I started doing Music Monday. Over the course of the year I've met many other great authors who also use music as part of their process.
She has many amazing songs on her list, but the I chose actually brought me close to tears knowing how it plays into the story and for the character. Now I can't listen to this song without still getting a little emotional and thinking about Jon. #teamJONforever!!
The video I linked is the one she shared and this version gives me total chills. The original version also affects me, but not quite in the same way. You really feel the meaning behind the words and the depth of emotion with it being their voices only.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, even without the context of her story to go with it. Let me know what you think.
Until next time,

"I Found" by Amber Run
Sometimes I find a song(s) whose beat, rhythm, lyrics etc meshes with the story. Other times it inspires a story. Two songs immediately come to mind. Arielle "Until we go down" and Nathan Lanier "Sand."
ReplyDeleteOMG yes, I had 2 songs that made me think of projects. I've not written them, but they do get the wheels turning. I should probably write down the general idea. Did those songs inspire any of your current work?
Deletethanks for stopping by
Lanier's "Sand" inspired a desert fight scene to a story idea I wrote and filed away. And other plot points. Thinking that story might be 2018 NaNoWriMo project.
