I enjoy when someone takes a beautiful song and combines it with a beautiful story (like in this video). The sentiments in the song, Falling, seem to ring true to the story line of North and South. Both Mr. Thornton and Miss Hale seem lost as to what is happening between them. Mr. Thornton admits to it first and eventually, Miss Hale comes around to his way of thinking–she is as incomplete without him as he is without her because they have fallen in love.

Music Monday: In My Veins, Andrew Belle
This week I have been writing some rather sad moments, and a song that Youtube happened to recommend to me, really captured the feeling I wished to convey in my writing. The song is outside my regular listening genres, but then again, writing sad, angsty moments is pushing me outside my regular writing boundaries as well. So, let me share both the song and a small snippet of what I was writing.

Music Monday: I Don’t Dance
Yesterday afternoon, I was creating this graphic…

…and the song that kept going through my head was…
(This song has always made me think of Mr. Darcy. 🙂 )
I often use music when writing:
relaxation music that helps me focus
upbeat motivational songs (played at a high volume) that get me going
and of course….
songs that evoke emotions and ideas inspiring some part of a story.
Since this blog is about following my imagination….I thought I would start sharing some songs that I find spark that imagination. Unlike those that are often a part of Wordless Wednesday, these songs will probably have words (though maybe not always). And just as Wordless Wednesday has a connection to a story, these may also have a connection…just like today’s.
Enjoy your Monday!
