Writing Music: Extreme Music

Occasionally I discover not one piece of writing music but a massive resource with enough music to last a life time. Or at least a few feverish writing sessions. This week, I present to you, Extreme Music. This website is dedicated to music, specifically from films and TV shows, although they have plenty of other music too. There are loads of albums to try. Or, if you need music to suit a certain mood, genre or situation, you can search the keywords. Then refine the search as needed, even down to the type of instruments used. You can even filter the songs by speed, depending on how much energy you need in your music.

You can find Extreme Music HERE.


I’m still exploring this site myself, but I’m loving it already. With Camp NaNoWriMo just around the corner, a musical resource like this is a gold mine. I know where I’ll be going to find the music for my writing sessions. I’m looking up more romantic-y types of music at the moment to help me prepare my novel. What type of music suits your book? Is there a song that just feels right for your plot?

  1. The site is amazing! :) There is a song that matches my plot-- well, two, technically. The songs are "She Will Be Loved" and "The Man Who Can't Be Moved." Listen to the two and my two main characters and the plot is all revealed.

    xoxo Morning
