At any given time I'm listening to Cory Branan, Leonna Naess, Eve 6, the King's Noyse, Sean Paul, Green Day, the BoDeans, Buddy Holly, Nowell Sing We Clear... the list goes on. But I rarely listen to music while I write. I start typing the lyrics.
The quote reflects a person's diverse taste in music, spanning various genres and eras, emphasizing how music is a constant but also how they choose to prioritize their creative process. Interestingly, despite listening to a wide range of music, they find that writing is a solitary activity that typically involves internal dialogue. Starting to type lyrics suggests the influence of their musical background directly into their writing, blurring the lines between audio inspiration and textual creation. It highlights the intimate relationship between music and writing, illustrating how the two can intertwine yet also remain separate activities that foster different aspects of creativity.
