Musical Monday of the Night

by JM

Hello and welcome to the last full week of April Musical Monday!

This week has certainly not gone as planned in my life and I am eager for a theme for the week that will make me feel good and remind me of things I like and find comfort in.

This week, the theme is: Night

Now before you ask me about this choice, I am a night owl. I used to be much more so, but even after my college days, I like the night. The moon, the stars… I have always been able to work well at night and have always found peace at night.

Night and everything related to it has been inspirational to many writers, poets, and even painters. While it does not always have the colour and light of day, it has mystery and music all its own.

This week I have chosen some favourites and some random songs for your listening pleasure. I hope they help you with your writing and you find music as inspirational as I do.

Have a happy and productive Monday.

We Belong to the Night – Pat Benetar

This is an old but good favourite of mine.

Music of the Night – David Cook

I can’t often resist putting in a song from Phantom of the Opera.

Into the Night – Santana Featuring Chad Kroeger

This is one of my must have songs. I have loved it since I first heard it, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Because the Night – Patti Smith
