1. Luna composed this herself

2. This song is about her mom being her “medicine” during difficult times

Missy Elliott – Pep Rally

Sooo I made a historically informed mix for Tiana and her restaurant. All songs from the 1920s with an emphasis on New Orleans artists, with a few other things thrown in for variety’s sake. It’s meant to sound like a night of dining and listening to the band at Tiana’s Palace, so it’d be good for an 1920s themed writing too. Historical Disney: Tiana’s Palace by linkeepsitreal.

[WRITING IN THE DARK] is a mix for writers looking for inspiring and yet unobtrusive music. Over the years I’ve found myself returning to certain tracks — in part for the feelings they evoke— but mostly for their ability to aid my writing process without distracting me from the story. The above is a selection of my favorites~ ♥︎

♪ Listen to this mix on 8tracks ♪

Ever since I answered this question, people have been asking me for my favorite music tracks to listen to— well, here you go! These are seriously some of my favorite tracks to listen to while writing, "Schala’s Theme" in particular tends to sneak into every single one of my books. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed making it~ ♥︎

Matsuko Mawatari -  Hohoemi no Bakudan(Smiling Bomb)

i started crying by the time the chorus came around. 

everybody, please watch this video. it’s not another cute romance or  break-up song.  the video very clearly shows that this is about Lee Michelle’s struggle to be accepted in very large part to her skin color. The child acting in this deserves every single award, as does Michelle. Both the song and the video hit really hard.

some important things to keep in mind:

- Michelle is half black and half Korean. Some people act like saying “African American” is better than black, but she’s never been to America. Afro-Hispanic people exist, African people exist —  not everyone black is African American.

-for God’s sake, PLEASE don’t comment on how amazed you are by her Korean.  She was born and raised in Korea. It’s her first language. Just because she doesn’t “look Korean” to you doesn’t mean she’s not.

- I skipped the first 1:30 of the video because watching a little girl run around in panic makes me anxious, personally. The song starts around 1:35, but parts of the beginning are really cool. I just couldn’t handle it.

- Michelle was also featured in the absolutely gorgeous Rewind by Double K. Please go support both songs!

I want this girl to get support and love from us. Please, check her out, reblog this video, support her with views, anything you can.  It’s clear that she has a struggle before her in the k-pop world despite her incredible talent, charisma, and beauty. It’s really inspiring that she is making that the root of her work.  As a person with brown skin, and also a person with a heart, this was really, really important to me.

Beldina | ‘Blow Me Away’

Keeping with her perfect track record so far, ‘Blow Me Away’ highlights Beldina’s strongest attributes as a pop singer/songwriter. With stylish synthesized beats and her unmistakable airy vocals - Belinda continues her march into pop super stardom. With an upcoming album scheduled for release sometime this year, Beldina is without a doubt one you should be on the look out for if you’re not keeping tabs on her already.

After Tonight| Justin Nozuka

I’m just a ghost in this house I’m just a shadow upon these walls As quietly as a mouse I haunt these halls I’m just a whisper of smoke I’m all that’s left of two hearts on fire That once burned out of control You took my body and soul I’m just a ghost in this house
