I LOVE the writing/music connection!!<br />I enjoyed both those songs! Such different feels!!<br />You need to listen to THIS song is you haven't yet-It's R. Kelly-who is kind of a jerk, but the song is incredible! It's called 'THe WOrld's Greatest', and it just makes me smile and spin around when I hear it! It works to inspire my writing AND to inspire me as a person! I feel like Rocky running up the steps when I hear it! FABULOSO! :) <br />OH!!! and I clicked on ur 'Writing it out' link from another blog a minute ago, and it came up in some nonsense language! I dunno why--it was weird!Pen Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443147029903410419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-80376489874248523852009-10-25T21:45:16.145-04:002009-10-25T21:45:16.145-04:00This is a great post, Beth.

And, music is such an inspiration for me. <br /><br />I have never heard of Michael Franti, so thanks for the information and for the totally captivating videos. <br /><br />This is awesome!dellgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04620967832227857674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-77959415924545907622009-10-25T11:02:38.764-04:002009-10-25T11:02:38.764-04:00Every time "Say Hey" comes on the radio,...Every time "Say Hey" comes on the radio, I have to turn it up and sing and dance to it.

(I have a playlist for every emotion). I may just have to add these songs to my happy and sad playlists. Thanks for pointing them out to me!Shannon Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08003607156860716462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-44786461256614877722009-10-24T15:59:58.470-04:002009-10-24T15:59:58.470-04:00My husband is a singer/songwriter and feels everyt...My husband is a singer/songwriter and feels everything through music. He just read my YA ms and said he was so impacted by it that he wrote a song for it - it's a dark song but it goes perfectly with the book.

And you are right they evoke totally different emotions, although the second one does deliver hope despite the sadness. Thanks so much for this. It was wonderful and thought-provokingTricia J.

I love music...couldn't live without it. I'll often find theme songs to fit whatever it is I'm working on. It adds a new dimension to my writing.

This is my first time hearing this artist, and I like him. He seem comfortable with who he is and translating that appreciation to us all.<br /><br />As a writer, I long to create the palace of memories with my readers. <br /><br />Wonderful and timely post for me, thanks!Tamika:https://www.blogger.com/profile/04874834971492028558noreply@blogger.com
