music to reflect the thoughts and moods of a character, I listen to the tracks my sixteen-year-old plays when I pick him up from school. They speak a lot to his mood and current concerns. And I build in my head a story about a character living out the same playlist he is choosing.
Give it a try: Ask a teenager to give you a list of three to five songs to play. Write the story those songs sing to you.
For me, it can be very freeing to not have to find the songs to fit into some character box, but instead to build the box that could hold songs you did not choose.
Lemme know how it goes for you.
