If you could pick a song that could best represent your current WIP, or any of your latest works....what would it be??? Instrumental, or lyrical?
The Perfect Theme Song...

Kindest Creatures, by exit clov.
I love exit clov, of course, but when I heard this song, I thought, "OMG, it's Little Cities!" It's all about the prevention of war (which LC is about, vaguely) and there's mention of fluffy creatures.

It's hard to choose one when there's a full soundtrack-in-progress (SIP?) on my iPod. Of the songs on it, I think one would work best for the main conflict, though:

For C0urt1ng Greta, I'd go with Cat Stevens' "Hard Headed Woman"
For The Seventh Circle, I have no idea. Totally none.

Me and Mr. Jones by Amy Winehouse.
Or anything on her Back to Black album, which I'm listening to almost non stop these days!

I'm with Sage... I definitely have a whole soundtrack lined up for my WIP, but if I had to choose just one song to represent, I'd probably go with "She Gathers Rain" by Collective Soul.

Well, not my NiP but my most recently completed one I listened to the soundtrack to Last of the Mohicans most of the way through, so I suppose that would work.

I have several, which I listen to. So I guess it's more of a sound track...
_Juice Box_ and _Time is Running Out_, by The Section Quartet.
_Red Alert_, Rage Against the Federation, and _Gotta Make It So_, by Warp 11.
But the main representative is definitely Juice Box.

I love finding themes.
Okay. Whisper and The Last Song I'm Wasting On You by Evanescence for "Whisper".
Now to find the others' themes. Heh.

I knew you named "Whisper" after that song! I have it in one of my soundtracks too, but it's not the "theme song" of that one.I love finding themes.

I LOVE Evanescence! They are my favorite band EVER!
So, of course my main theme for my current WIP is October by Evanescence. It's not on any of their CDs, I don't think, but I've managed to find it online, and I love it!
I also made up my own soundtrack and some of the artists featured are Hinder, Bif Naked, Radiohead, Tori Amos, Mazzy Star, and Aimee Mann.
And I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who does this too. To me, it helps me write when I have a good soundtrack to back me up.

I have a whole soundtrack for my WIP, but right now the representative song (which means I listen to it all the freaking time) is "My Rights Versus Yours," by the New Pornographers.
