Top 10 Things Music has Helped You Through

The Blues quite literally found me just as someone and I were at the end of our relationship. Ironic eh? But it really did help me through. I rely a lot on music to help me through a lot of things. It's an incredible comfort to me through bereavement. I'm missing my Pop's terribly but listening to his favourite singers and songs is making me feel closer to him.

I find that, depending on what setting, mood or character I'm writing at the time, different genres and songs help me to 'set the mood and pace' of the piece. It really helps me to develop the setting or a character's personality. It might sound strange, but music really does help.
