Thursday Thirteen #36 “Songs that Inspire”
Songs that charge my writing, and sometimes even inspire it. Too bad that utube has so many of the best videos that have had embedded removed, I assume at the record companies request. Oh well.
1) “Youth of the Nation” by P.O.D.
2) “Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence
(inspired my novel Cryptic Voodoo (which may be getting a name change, the novel not the band), one scene in particular was based on part of this video)
3) “Stranger” by Billy Joel
4) “Dark Lady” Cher (inspired my villain in Ancestral Magic, Morrissa Donaldson, especially the very beginning of this song.)
5) “Angie Baby” Helen Reddy
6) “(I Just) Died in Your Arms” Cutting Crew
7) “True Faith” New Order (makes me think of Eve from Cryptic Voodoo, the feeling of being outcast from her peers, but being free)
The next two are so hot, the never fail to fuel me up for my more erotic scenes. I warn you, you put these on full screen and I’ll not be responsible for the result (wink)
8) Beautiful Liar with Beyonce and Shakira
9) Shakira 'Hips Don't Lie (f. Wyclef Jean)'
10) Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen (performed by Seal) (I was thinking about this song in part while I wrote the first scene in Natural Order, but this song has touched me for so long far before that)
11) Dear Mr President - Pink- Live
12) Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me - Elton John
Though the version with George Michael is my fav, even though I can’t find an embedded version of that one
13) Queen Latifah- U.N.I.T.Y.
(this one is one of my very very favs, and great for when I need to charge my Amazon battery and do some literary ass kickin’. Is there any guess now why I have such a crush on this woman?)
