Inspired music

Listening to music is a release. Do you ever have those days when you just need to unwind, get anger out, or just have something to fill your ears? Music does all those things for me. I’m pretty open to all types of genres, minus rap and country. When I listen to songs, I wonder where those songs stemmed from. Some are pretty hard to figure out what the inspiration for being written was, but others have it explicitly stated. For example, a song about a girl who broke a guy’s heart. Pretty easy to figure out- the lyricist probably had something like this happen to him. But I like to expound on this general situation. Really listening to the music, figuring out what a person is thinking in writing these, and going from there. For example, perhaps the woman left the man because she had to move to a different city far away from him and could not handle a long distance relationship. Or maybe it’s a tangled love decagon with lovers hooking up all over the place and hearts broken and repaired by another within a few paragraphs. That could almost end up as a comedy. Whatever it is, something has inspired this singer/songwriter to write about the subject they did. Lending an ear and an open mind to it is always fun.
