How has music shaped what writers write? That is a question I have always pondered. Just as music has come to shape many a scene in television shows or movies, music can also be said to influence writers and their works. In my own experience with music I know that such songs as The Prophet’s Song by Queen and Green Day’s Holiday have both been instrumental in my works. The Prophet’s song had struck such ominous chords in my imagination at such a young age so as to inspire me to write something with apocalyptic overtones, it culminating in my first work, From Whence They Came. Also too the striking phrase by Green Day “Like an Armageddon flame” is such a vivid depiction of foreboding doom that I just had to sample it from them too. Hope they don’t mind.
There are, I’m sure thousands of tie-ins as to music throughout literature, just how many authors bring them to the spotlight, I’d like to know.
