Music does take me down memory lane, and I get so nostalgic listening to Christmas music because of our family get togethers.

When I'm home alone I put in the TV rather than music. I agree music is a very good thing and we all need it.<br />Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-51202835056298517052013-08-24T20:12:22.817-04:002013-08-24T20:12:22.817-04:00I need silence when I'm writing.

It's ironic because music is so vital to me like breathing. I have to have it going at all times, even sing along to the shame of my family. As you said, those are the songs of my life.Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-74530049849856847442013-08-24T18:55:17.108-04:002013-08-24T18:55:17.108-04:00Hi Cara, this is a thought provoking blog post. I ...Hi Cara, this is a thought provoking blog post. I need silence usually when I write, with few exceptions. I love Christmas music, too. It puts me in a nostalgic mood and helps me get jump-started for the holidays. Often I'll get stuck on an old song I hear but it doesn't just play in my head - my poor husband and son get to hear it over and over until I tire of it, and there's no 'silence' button they can use to turn me off!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005215075724810989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-64901887258578803092013-08-24T18:19:47.460-04:002013-08-24T18:19:47.460-04:00Thanks, Paris.

Wish I could get more into music.<br /><br />Thanks, Vicki, my friend. Classical or Spanish guitar music sounds very nice. No one's ever sung to me. How romantic.<br />Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-5081227535330492212013-08-24T17:46:06.337-04:002013-08-24T17:46:06.337-04:00Hi, sweetie!

I, too, play lots and lots of holiday tunes at Christmas. But one song was sung to me--and I Love Her. Wow, that made my heart beat fast back then. oxVicki Batman, sassy writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846704675542248648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-33043231935110844482013-08-24T17:11:05.925-04:002013-08-24T17:11:05.925-04:00There was a time when I needed silence to write bu...There was a time when I needed silence to write but now I find certain songs really inspire different moods and have been quite helpful in keeping my momentum, especially when writing action scenes.

I get stuck on one for a week or so, and then somehow it changes for another week. Heard once about a third of the people hear constant music like me, but don't know if that's true.jean hart stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287808234288499369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-63884725121426701742013-08-24T09:21:55.347-04:002013-08-24T09:21:55.347-04:00Thanks, Liz.
