What music do they like?
Here’s a link to a song I really like at the moment, The Only Living Boy in New York by Everything but the Girl. It’s a cover, the original was by Simon and Garfunkel, but I love the harmonies and spaciousness of this version. It never fails to lift my mood, and it’s a great loosener before I get into writing.
