When writing, lyrics can get in the way sometimes. Having some cool, inspiring instrumental music playing while you’re writing can really help you nail down that flow, or so I’ve found. I’ve been adding to my instrumental playlist for years and in recent ones, I’ve found some truly awesome instrumentals!
