The Soundtrack to Your Writing

The song you write to, the one you use to get you into the mood, the groove – what is it?

Maybe it’s a different song for a different project. My all-purpose pumped-up for writing song? Depending on the level of rejections it may be Christina’s Fighter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB7pQpNx-F4 or Pink’s Bad Influence http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsM0RLAK1nY&feature=related.

Some days it’s Richard Ashcroft’s* Break the Night With Colour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BahH6ClfMpQ, Bernard Fanning’s Songbird http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J99Eg0qQh1g or Powderfinger’s I Don’t Remember http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i61fD2Co7k. Then there is Kate Bush’s The Hounds of Love.

What’s yours?** Does Neil Gaiman write to Amanda Palmer’s Astronaut?

* Yes, the man is an amazing collection of bones and angles.
**Jason Fischer, I know you’re gonna say Eye of the Tiger.
