Actually I got the new Nightwish album, Dark Passion Play, a week before NaNo, and many of the themes in the songs match themes in my story (Yes, my story is depressive, it's actually based off a series of nightmares I had). So I've been listening to that constantly when writing sad or dificult scenes.

However, when I'm writing happier scenes, I've found myself listening to the Riverdance soundtrack, which I also recently found!

I am living to nourish you, cherish you
I am pulsing the blood in your veins
Feel the magic and power of surrender
To live, Uisce Beatha

Thats a chorus from one of the songs on the track, and the amazing voices singing it, as a group, it's so moving, like nothing else.

For the record, Uisce Beatha is Gaelic for Water of Life.
