musical inspiration
Songwriting's driving force
Musical inspiration is the creative spark or influence that moves someone to compose, perform, or appreciate music.
It can refer to the source of a composer's ideas—Bach was her primary musical inspiration—or the feeling of being creatively energized: I woke up full of musical inspiration and wrote three songs before noon.
