Musical Monday - Breaking Benjamin
Hello and welcome to another Musical Monday.
This week I am turning it down a notch in the peppy department (a department I hang around in way too much) because writing - and life - is not all happy and sunshine.
The videos I am featuring this week will help you tap into the darker places in your mind. Anger, rage, fear, tears, regrets… All of these themes are present in Breaking Benjamin’s videos, music, lyrics, etc. If you need to get into a darker place for your writing, then Breaking Benjamin is a good place to get started.
That being said, the last video - Rain - isn’t quite as ‘dark’ as it is a sad melody. Rain is the first Breaking Benjamin song I ever heard and is one of the songs I listened to repeatedly during some bad times in my life a few years ago. It’s definitely good for getting into the less pleasant parts of your mind for writing, so I wanted to include it.
Enjoy.
So Cold
Rain
And there you have it! Your musical inspiration for the week.
There are a lot more songs out there, so do some hunting! I hope you find this music inspirational.
If you have any suggestions for singers or bands you’d like to see featured, let me know in the comments. I won’t promise to put all selections up, but I do promise to take a look. Besides, I’m always open to falling in love with a new band or singer and adding more music to my massive collection.
Have an excellent week filled with inspiration, time to write and a very generous muse.
