Day to Day happenings in my life

My tunes

PROMPT July 17th

How important is the role of music in your life and in your creative process? Do you write to music? If so, what kind and why do you think it helps?

No, I can’t write to music,I find it distracting. I don’t think I have a particular type of music I really like, It all depends on my mood. Sometimes I love music from Musical Theatre, other times music from my teenage years. I never get sick of the Beatles, they wrote the background music of my formative years. The lyrics are the most important part of a piece of music. When my husband was working away for a year, one of Norah Jones albums became so important to me. All her words resonated to some part of the life we’d shared. It was as if she’d written them just for us. Maybe that is why we’re drawn to certain music at different times of our lives.
ABBA’s music is always uplifting, I know all the words! I don’t understand or ‘get’ much out of modern music. I know... I sound like an old fart.
