Any music that gives out inspiration?

[dotpapercrowndot]

I was wondering if there is a music that gives out an inspiration, which has this up beat tune, not too sad nor too rock just right I guess, because sometimes music just makes more sleepy than inspired ahaha

YES! Those are the kind of jams I listen to. Positive up lifting music. Though, my tastes lean more towards the rock side so it might be too rock for you. Here they are anyways

Melodysheep on youtube has some of my favorite autotune tributes of inspirational people like Robin Williams, Charlie Chaplin, Bob Ross, Mr Rogers.

Anything by the Aquabats is just happy slappy fun music about how if you're working hard you're a winner

And one last place I turn to for positive rock is 106.3 The Rock radio station (it's Christian station but very decent rock Skillet, Flyleaf, Demon Hunters,TFK, Amberlin)

A bit of Classic Rock, Slade has a lot of fun music and songs about raising out of the dark depressing times.

BNL cover of Lovers in a Dangerous Time has one of my favorite lines of all time, "Kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight" <3

Then there's Weird Al, Slade, NSP, lots of ska bands. I love the positive beats XD

Yes and it scares me, but it also gives me the fuel to draw and dream up the scenes for Et Spiritus Divino I listen to the Horror Synth GenreT_T...

There's music by The Piano Guys as well....they take modern(ish) songs and throw them at classical (like Mozart and Bach). All of their songs are upbeat and exciting, and there's no lyrics in most of them, if that's your thing.

Here's an example of one of their first videos from 2011:

A lot of the music I listen to doesn't have any lyrics. I guess lyrically speaking, anything from the Cocteau Twins relaxes me and gets me in my mode. Elizabeth Fraser's voice is akin to an angel playing from a harp to me.

If you're into spoken word/rap type music with a positive inspirational message, I recommend Eyedea

Hm, I know I listen to indie pop rockish songs (idk how to really describe the genre) like the Killers, or the Strokes. Tokyo Police Club has really good upbeat music too! Or, I listen to chiptune, like Anamanaguchi! That's always so quick and cute, like a video game (I guess the video game music helps me feel a sense of urgency, like I need to defeat the boss that is my next page!)

I hope this helped! ✨

[soyaayaa]

Yesss! Pogo is excellent!!

[dotpapercrowndot]

I actually have been using Spotify a lot to get me into the mood for drawing and art for me... I'll share a few artists I've been listening to for ya since I range quite a bit.

I tend to lean gothic rock, rock in general, and moving instrumental... you'll see what I mean in a minute.

All of the above are some of the sound track I've got going while I'm working on my comic. I really try to get a mix of music for the tone and feeling of the panel (First few panels certainly go to Asp, Starset, and Tiamat.)

I just let Spotify also spin and I end up in... interesting places o.O

I dont know if it fits what you are asking for but Tangerine Dream and Jean Michel Jarre always works for me.
Right now I'm mostly listening to Tangerine dream to get inspiration. They have made an enormous ammount of albums and soundtracks over the years. I discover something new all the time. But Jean Michel Jarre has probably had a bigger impact on my drawings overall. Since some of the most important parts of my comics and art is a direct result of his music.

Some upbeat Tangerine Dream:

And some upbeat Jean Michel Jarre:
This first one has my favourite music video.
