Songs for inspiration.

I've been really busy lately. I've had a lot of school things (got my graduation gown yesterday! Eeeep!) and I've had to do a lot of arty things for college. I have to get my portfolio together soon, and I need some new pieces to show the diversity of my work. 

I have to listen to music while I work. It's seriously a must. I have to have some type of background noise in order to work. 

So, I've compiled a list of 25 songs that get my creative juices flowing. 


  1. The Girl is Mine by Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney
  2. White Teeth Teens by Lorde (anything by her, really)
  3. Middle of Your Heart by for King and Country
  4. Somewhere in My Memory by John Williams (instrumental)
  5. True Affection by The Blow
  6. Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles
  7. Jamming by Bob Marley
  8. You've Got a Friend by James Taylor
  9. New Soul by Yael Naim
  10. MMMBop by Hanson
  11. Follow Your Arrow by Kacey Musgraves
  12. Invisible by Hunter Hayes
  13. Wagon Wheel by Darius Rucker
  14. Nobody Compares by One Direction
  15. She's So High by Tal Bachman
  16. Run-Around by Blues Traveler
  17. Sign on the Door by Edwin McCain
  18. Let It Go by Idina Menzel 
  19. Beauty & The Beast by Angela Lansbury
  20. In Too Deep by Sum 41
  21. Happy by Pharrell Williams
  22. Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus (One Direction version is good, too! This song does curse quite a few times, just to warn you.)
  23. I Wish by Cher Lloyd & T.I.
  24. Pretty in Pink by the Psychedelic Furs
  25. Jolene by Dolly Parton
I also often listen to the Jack Johnson station on Pandora, Disney Movie Soundtracks, instrumental Christmas music, & anything Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, or Edwin McCain is perfect for drawing/painting/being creative. :)
