I usually get too distracted by music to write, but a few decent tracks are

I can't write to anything with vocals, and I tend to prefer silence.
Where music is desired or necessary (e.g. people around are distracting) generally I listen to classical (Verdi, Chopin, Bach are pretty comfy and undistracting) or modern music that is especially chill (with no lyrics).
Three artists I listen to a lot (especially when I'm writing in noisy spaces):
Max Richter

I like to listen to long ambient tracks. Even instrumental music is too distracting and I feel like I write according to the feeling of the music so it makes the writing biased.
I like to listen to those 10 hour loops of ambient stuff like rain falling, howling winds, jet engines, submarine engines.
harsh noise and power electronics only
anything with clear vocals need not apply

I writed almost all of my novel under Perdurbator. Nocturne city and dangerous days mostly.
But I had this preference because this music was a perfect fit for my setting. I suggest you all to choose music that could be a good ost for your work

I try to do that and imagine anime openings to my stories with my favorite song at the moment.

I unironically listen to Mozart. Chopin when I feel a little too melancholic.

This is my Nietzsche music. I can't really say why, though the video probably has something to do with it.
You see several people in stereotypical normie situations (smugly stood beside their new car, stood in a board meeting, etc). All while, you have these outlandish things penetrating all levels of the normie existence; and ascending all of them is the main man who, unlike Sisyphus, is actually managing to push his boulder/burden to highest peak.
I find something pretty Nietzschean about all of that; the higher you go with his philosophy, the more 'normality' loses its appeal, the more it crumbles, and the more you notice - all the while climbing towards something greater, leaving it behind.
You also have the consistent 'twang' sound throughout, which suggests to me the lack of concrete permanence that is so notable in his philosophy.

Makes me think of Zarathustra coming down from the mountain, too.
Forgive my autism. I also associate the 2nd Movement of Beethoven's 7th with Kant, alongside Grieg's 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' for when I want a metaphor, in music form, of it all 'coming together'.
Anyone who's read Kant will know what I mean.

That's a lot of thought for one song, anon.
But...it does kinda make sense, actually
>I also associate the 2nd Movement of Beethoven's 7th with Kant, alongside Grieg's 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' for when I want a metaphor, in music form, of it all 'coming together'.
Those are two wildly different pieces. Is there nothing else?
If you like bright eyes, similar artists are Fleet Foxes (best songs imo are Tiger Mountain Peasant Song, Mykonos, and Blue Ridge Mountains) Also, Rocky Votolato, Milky Chance and Iron & Wine, Temper Traps, and Jose Gonzalez. Other good writing songs:
Where is My Mind - Maxence Cyrin
Bird's Lament - Moondog
And Still They Move - Colin Stetson
Unfallen Kingdom - Gramatik
Ghostwriter - RJD2
Soulful/choppy hip-hop instrumentals and the sound of violins.
>>8212271
nothing but instrumentals for me
boris, earth, a lot of drone and post rock, etc.
