Do you listen to music while writing? I do, but I can't concentration long enough to get a lot down with it. Share some songs or types of music you listen to while writing or that just sets you in the mood. I'm in big need of some new songs.

@Relsey-TheElder

I listen to video game music , Normally LOZ (Legend of zelda ) because its meant to make you think, Midnas lament is my personal favorite

@Joneathan

It kinda matters what you're writing but I'd recommend Detektivbyrån.

@Masterkey

I like listening to basically any soundtrack from any movie I like. Recently:

Fantastic Mr Fox
Treasure Planet
Kung Fu Panda

i have a playlist that i usually put on repeat/shuffle but if i Really need to focus i use zenwriter since i love hearing the typewriter sound

It depends on the sort of scene I'm writing. Like I couldn't listen to really quiet calming music during a climax or action scene. I usually listen to the cast recordings of musical theatre shows as it allows me to focus and not get distracted changing songs, but it's also enjoyable. Musicals are great. You should listen to them. Especially relatively unknown ones, they're great and there's less of a chance of them having awful fandoms.

I listen to a ton of music while writing, and pretty much any other time (like when I'm doing art and stuff). But I have to agree with @fruitbatsandearlgrey , it does depend on the scene. If I had the time I'd make mood playlists for different scenes in a story (sad for sad, upbeat for happy, etc.).
