Songs to Get You in the Mood to Create Something Amazing

Let’s channel the muse, baby.

Whether you're painting, writing, designing, or brainstorming your next big idea—music can be the key that unlocks that creative flow state. I like to call these my “doorway to magic” songs. Each one holds a little creative spark.

1. “Electric Feel” – MGMT

2. “Borderline” – Tame Impala

3. “Paper Planes” – M.I.A.

4. “You & Me (Flume Remix)” – Disclosure

5. “Ain’t It Fun” – Paramore

   
   

Tips for Curating Your Creative Flow Playlist:

1. Pick songs that help you forget time. No lyrics? Great. Tons of beats? Even better.

2. Find music that moves your body or your breath. Flow starts there.

3. Explore lo-fi, ambient, or instrumental genres if lyrics distract you. Or go wild with creative chaos.

4. Use tools like Shazam or the “Spotify Radio” of one song to build around a vibe that already works.

And when you're ready to trade creative flow for a little main character energy, explore my favorite Music to Romanticize Your Life and give your everyday moments a soundtrack of their own.
