So I’ve been posting pictures related to
Make Me Whole for the last couple of
weeks and I thought I’d change it up a bit and talk about soundtracks this
week. I love music. I find it more inspiring than just about anything else.
Certain songs will trigger stories, though that’s not the case here. This story
was inspired by a couple of friends and they know who they are. However, it
doesn’t mean that I haven’t still found songs that make me think of this story.
I don’t normally listen to music as I
write. Since I do the majority of my writing at work, music is prohibited. And
when I’m home my husband or son usually has the TV running. But I love to run
the music when I’m plotting. And I do my best plotting when I’m in the middle
of doing something else. For instance cleaning the kitchen (bleh) or on a long
drive. I’ll pop in the soundtrack and let my thoughts wander.
The interesting thing about the
soundtrack for Make Me Whole is that
it’s one CD, by one artist, and it’s country. As far as I know, neither Galen nor
Nick listen to that much country. But
there’s something about Andy Griggs’ Freedom
that makes me think of these two guys all the time, especially “The Road to
Lasting Love,” “Always,” “A Hundred Miles of Bad Road,” “I’ve Learned,” “Brand
New Something Going On,” and “Where’s A Train.”
So if you get a chance check it out. I think
it’s the mix of reflection, heartache and the desire for new starts is what
keeps me coming back to this CD again and again.
