Oughta be watching the children playing
In the yard I never see I should be mowing today
Instead, I'm searching for ways to say
All the words I can't find
Everybody's trying to be the next someone
But look at me, I'm trying to be the first something

Everyone posting should have to say what it inspires them to do.

Some types of inspiring music:

- Music about creating. The Simpson album has a lot of great songs about the artist's struggles with both himself and external forces, and resolving to create anyway. That's usually inspiring to me.

Spoiler: show

- The music of pride. Sheer audacity. Basically all good rap, before it got ruined by demands of "importance" (same with hard rock). Unapologetically enjoying one's self.

Spoiler: show

- Then there is the more visceral, musical variety of inspiration. Basically work out music, or music that "pumps you up".

Spoiler: show

- Then there is Nietzschean music. And Nietzsche always empowers.

- Nerdy stuff that gives me cool ideas to work on. You'll just have to trust me on this.

Spoiler: show

- I suppose there is also music that inspires you to be a good person or whatever. Hypothetically. I can't think of any examples.

I've never been entirely clear on how you relate to art, but I'm guessing you have some interesting thoughts on that.
