Inspiring music for a love story? ?

Question

Does any one know of or have music that inspires them to write?

I'm writing a love story and I'm having writers block, but it's not the first time. Usually i just listen to a good song and the mental wall is gone, but I'm having a hard time finding such song.

Any help is welcomed. Thanks

Answer 1

On my love story playlist (yes, I have one), the songs are:

****Before it's too Late -- The Goo Goo Dolls

****After Tonight -- Justin Nozuka

*******************I Will Follow You into The Dark -- Death Cab for Cutie

**The Scientist -- Coldplay

*****Fix You -- Coldplay

*****Clocks -- Coldplay (yes, I really like Coldplay)

****Oh it is love -- hellogoodbye

****Sweet and Low -- Augustana

Like a Star -- Corinne Bailey Rae

****Light Up the Sky -- Yellow Card

******You're Not Alone -- Saosin

Fidelity -- Regina Spektor

*****Near to You -- A Fine Frenzy

******Starlight -- Muse

Chasing Pavements -- Adele

Hero/Heroine -- Boys Like Girls

*******This Boy -- The Beatles (don't knock it till you try it. the Beatles have great love songs)

Everything -- Micheal Buble

Pictures of You -- The Last Goodnight

Hey There Delilah -- Plain White Tees

*****Stolen -- Lifehouse

*****All You Need is Love -- The Beatles (but I'm actually talking about the Jim Sturgess version)

Girl -- The Beatles (but again, try the Jim Sturgess version)

The ones with stars are my favorite (and the sweetest).  I would reccomend listening to at least some of each song because they're all different and sweet in their own way. Hope you like them!!

Answer 3

Keane- anything they write gives me goosebumps and it brings out a lot of emotions.

These are some beautiful and inspiring love songs by them:

"On a Day Like Today"

"We Might as Well be Strangers"

"Fly To Me"

"A Heart to Hold You"

"Try Again"

Answer 4

Thunder - Boys Like Girls

Accidentally in love - Counting Crows

can't fight this feeling - Reo speedwagon  

Answer 5

I don't really listen to music and write like you, but I can think of two songs that I really enjoy and that always sounded inspirational to me, perhaps especially for a love story.  Those two songs are:

"Breathe Me" by Sia - This is perhaps the only song that I can listen to all day long and not get tired of it...

AND

"Gabriel" by Lamb - This is a beautiful song sung by a woman with a very unique voice...

Best wishes!

Answer 6

I listen to enya when i write. she is calming and you don't really have to listen to what is said to get the message so it isn't likely to distract you.

Answer 7

Some of my favorites are (sorry, they're not all "happy" love songs, but there is a good variety):

-Madi Don't Leave by PlayRadioPlay!

-Pressure Suit by Aqualung

-Nicest Thing by Kate Nash

-Falling by Emmy Rossum

-Favorite by Liz Phair

-Such Great Heights by The Postal Service

-The Moment I Said It by Imogen Heap

-Dark Blue by Jack's Mannequin

Sometimes, I'll randomly watch amv's on youtube to a TV show that I like with a good pairing - that gives me a good idea on songs. I hope I was able to help!
