I came across one of my old pieces which I wrote to Bach's Little Fugue in G Minor (Organ). I'm not usually inspired by music, because if it has words, it gets in the way of my writing. But occasionally there are songs that can inspire me, or help me with the process. My current obsession is with Death Cab for Cutie, I really want to write something set to "What Sarah Said".

Is music useful or hindering to you? Have you written pieces that are enhanced with music accompanying them? Share away!

Hindering.
Mind you, I love music. But I tend to be a bit analytic when listening to a song -- there's no such thing as "background music" for me. It takes precedence over conversations and inner thoughts. Kinda tough to write in these conditions.

Same. I occasionally find myself trying to predict or analyze the chord progression. XD

LOL, yes, I do that too.

IAWTC, it's why I'd only listen to instrumental because I don't have a brain for instrumentals, but I tend to parse lyrics.
