There are times when the gloves come off, the headphones go on and the only words you need filling your head are your own. And like rainy days and Mondays, these times call for a well-crafted playlist. Enter Paper Writing Music, my personal archive of super-focused, late night playlist to end all playlists for your favorite copywriter. The qualifications to gain entrance into this esteemed group are as follows:
1) Track must be full-on instrumental
OR
2) include only lyrics in a foreign language
OR
3) contain lyrics that are inconsequential to the overall effect (see Mylo – In My Arms)
(bonus points for being loud enough to drown out any surrounding noise and peppy enough to ward of sleep and/or boredom)
As with any quality playlist in this digital age, it’s work in progress. Here’s the latest track to gain entre into the playlist: from the Amelie Soundtrack (and on the recommendation of MeFi via This American Life) J’y suis jamais alle by Yann Tiersen.
