Book Soundtracks (#2)

I did a post like this a couple of years ago: you can read it here. But in that time, I’ve listened to more music and read some different books. I thought, given my love for both, that it is time I gave it another go.

Music can often be my inspiration. If I’m struggling with a certain scene, or trying to get into a character’s mind-set when something big is occurring, the right song/playlist can often be my key. I wonder if the authors mentioned or, indeed, any published author has their own playlist when they write. Do any of you writers out there have set songs that just scream inspiration to you?

I know, personally, the Spirit soundtrack does it for me every time. But here are some of the songs that I think sum up a few books perfectly:

When I’m watching a film, I always find myself thinking about the soundtrack and what it says about the film in question. So that got me thinking… What if books could have soundtracks? What would you pick for your favourites?

I know when I am writing, all I need to do is put certain music on and the words flow like there is no tomorrow.  You Can’t Take Me by Bryan Adams from the Spirit Soundtrack is the song I like to consider to be the theme tune for my main character.
