[Quiet Man Cometh]

It's hard to say. It's really a sort of the spur of the moment thing. Often I will find a particular song that is inspiring at the moment, perhaps for a piece of writing I'm doing, but it's rarely the same song for multiple pieces. The Tea Party seems to have that effect. I have several fiction pieces that I've developed (not necessarily written) to some of their songs. "Heaven Coming Down," "Army Ants," "Gyroscope", and "Transmission" I've attached as my inspirational piece for writing certain stories.

When it comes to general mood-lifting stuff or 'get-up-and-go' then it's power metal for that, stuff like Hammerfall or Dragonforce. I just find power metal to be the most uplifting thing in the world, even when I'm in a depressive or frustrated funk.
