Well my lovelies, I’ve happened upon a new song to love and much like last time, it has a dash of Hook in it. Or well, kind of. I don’t know if it’s more of a theme or a coincidence that such a good-looking pirate/actor shows up in some pretty damn great music videos that I just happen upon on YouTube, but I’m just going to go with it without question. You’ll get no complaints from me here 😉
Now unlike last time, this song didn’t immediately attach itself to any character or story of mine, though theme-wise it easily could have. This time the song resonated with me, not a story in my mind or a character in my heart — which is an unusual occurrence to say the least. Though as a writer I wonder, perhaps it’s a story and character I haven’t discovered yet, perhaps the adventure continues past my current understanding…
Or perhaps this is just a beautiful song that just needs to be heard. So I’m sharing it with you my lovelies, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do 😀

This is a great song, so moving. Half way through the video I recognized the show. I don’t usually watch it, but I happened to be flipping channels and watched this episode. Loved the hook and pirate, too! 🙂
I’m glad you think so! I’m a huge Once Upon a Time fan so as soon as I saw this video I fell in love it and I think the song suits them (Emma and Hook) rather well 😀 lol
Have you ever had it happen in reverse? A somg that provokes forth a character?
I had been struggling with one of my female characters until recently when I came upon two songs by In This Moment. Made a complete 180 for the character, which gave her and my story much needed contrast. : )
Titles:
In this moment – Big Bad Wolf
In this moment – sick like me
Well, I don’t know if I’ve ever had a song reveal a character I didn’t already know about, but I’ve definitely had songs reveal more of certain characters, their ambitions, thoughts, feeling, and even actions. Most of my characters respond to music actually, some more than others 😀
