Songs That Inspire My Creativity
This list is the be all and end all for songs that will inspire me. If I am ever stuck on something and need a little kick, these tracks will help. As well they are on a playlist marked “Chris…FOCUS” that I set to shuffle while I am on a work, camera in hand. Some entries on the list are a bit off the wall, but so am I. From this list you will find a few things that stand out. One is that my musical tastes are all over the map, which is how I like it. Also they span well over 50 years of history which is awesome. This list could actually be listed every month and most likely would include a new set of 10 songs with new post. But between you and I that little track at number one would be there very often.
PS…I put hours of thought into this with multiple changes as well.
10 – Tangled Up In Blue – Bob Dylan
I love the story telling here, it also gets me thinking as he’s moving forward through his life.So many things going on in this song and I love to follow along.
9 – Until The End Of Time – Tupac
If you are younger you may not know much about Tupac or why his music was important. But this track has always moved me and that helps me when I am stuck.
8 – Message To You Rudy – The Specials
This ska track has always been a favorite of mine. I will always find it helps me when I’m stuck in a rut because it puts me in a great mood.
7 – Everybody Knows – Leonard Cohen
This man was an absolute legend and this song just sounds cool to me. It gets me thinking as he moves through all that is happening within the lyrics.
6 – Karma Police – Radiohead
These gentleman are all over my music collection. I must own all of the Radiohead albums and yes they were purchased on CD. This one makes me move forward as the songs always makes me feel like something is catching up to me. Just like the awesome video for this song.
5 – Take Five – Dave Brubeck
I am just now getting into Jazz. This song puts me in such a good mode that whatever is blocking me from moving forward goes away right away.
4 – Venus in furs – The Velvet Underground
Big time song right here. It sounds a little different from everything else to me. I love different. I went on a walk recently in a deep fog when this track come on. It set the mode and helped me capture over 75 images.
3 – Teardrop – Massive Attack
It has always sounded like a countdown to me. It makes me go for it before the end and times up.
2 – Sympathy For The Devil – The Rolling Stones
The Woo Woo through out the songs gets the wheels in my head turning. At the end you do almost sympathize with the bad guy. Almost
1 – A Day In The Life – The Beatles
Two songs in one with an awesome piano crash at the end. It’s my favorite Beatles song and they are my favorite in the history of everything. They get number one on any list that I put together.
