Music can be a great source of entertainment but it can also be a source of inspiration. Even of the music is only loosely connected to what I am writing, it can help me focus. I find that I cannot write an essay for school without some kind of background music. Without music, I tend to get great bouts of writer's block. However, when the music kicks up, I begin to get inspired. So how about you? When does music inspire you the most? Looking forward you hearing your thoughts.

Really that is great. Yes, music can bring up some good past memories for me as well at time to time. It is just a matter of listening to the right music at the right times. There will be times where it really brings up something that is good and puts me in a pleasant mood. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and contributed to the topic well.

I can say that music inspires my whole day. Once I wake up, the first thing I do is to grab my iPod and play some upbeat music to keep me going for the whole day. I can't really work with music, but it does affect my whole day. :)

Yes, inspiration can come in many forms especially when music is involved. In fact, I find myself pretty much listening to music every single day and being inspired by it, even if it is for many different reasons. Of course, some things inspire more than others but it is true, inspiration can be found throughout the day. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well.

Hi there Megamatt!
You're right. Music can have effects on our moods and sometimes, even with the way we think. I could not concentrate much when writing while listening to music but from time to time, I get inspiration from music when I write. Sometimes, I write poems and even short stories that popped into my mind when I hear certain songs.

Hi there Megamatt!
Yes, that's true. I also find inspiration from music but still, it depends upon my mood. But when I am in need of inspiration, I usually listen to the ballads and get inspiration from the stories that they tell.

Music is so inspiring as long it is not so loud. If it is so loud, it can disturb a lot of people. I cannot concentrate on my work or study if the music is so loud. Music is the best when I am about to sleep. I can sleep easily depending on the kind of music.

Yes, that is very true. Just loud enough where you can get something from it but not too loud where it is disrupting my concentration. I find that it is hard to me to sleep when music is playing and I tend to try not to listen to any for about an hour or two before I go to bed. However, maybe that is just me. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

music inspires me the most when i'm sad and when i'm lacking ideas.. when i'm sad i tend to listen to music and relate to it.. meaning i listen to sad songs but then, it makes me wanna sing and so i just sing my heart out.. when i'm lacking ideas, ilisten to music.. try to understand their message and sure enough i find new ideas to explore..

Very, true, music can be very uplifting and can cheer a person up when they are down. It really tends to get our mind working as well but it also can improve our mood. It is truly something that has multiple purposes and I guess that is why I spend most of my time listening to it. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated and contributed to the topic. Have a nice day.
