Latimer: I was at the Bon Iver concert in the O2 in Dublin this week. It was absolutely brilliant – they were electric.
As I sat and listened, I thought of what inspires me. There are times when some artists just catch me – absorb me into their songs. Music is an unending source of encouragement and motivation; songs can become the soundtrack for scenes I want to write, or characters Ridley and I have created. Songs can set the mood; just by listening to a certain tune I can get into the mind-set to write a particular moment.
I left Bon Iver feeling inspired, swept up in dreams of characters and moments.
As I walked out of the venue, I heard a girl say;
“That was amazingly deadly!”(deadly meaning ‘fantastic’ in Irish vernacular)
Couldn’t put it much better 🙂
Who, what or where, inspires you?

Bon Iver is my daughter’s favorite band. Now I know why.
She has very good taste robin :)! They are an amazing band, definitely one my favourites now too!
I love Bon Iver. Love it when I drive to my destinations esp. when I hit mountainous roads or with open field road views. Or, at night! Soothing voice, soothing sound. His self-titled album is one of the top 3 of 2011.
Did you know about his version of “I can’t make you love me”?
