“I sometimes have to flit between projects, and I find a different, distinct soundtrack to each really helps. So I make a playlist for each movie, with no musical crossover - and locking back into it drops me (usually) into the zone of writing that particular project. What follows are some highlights from the Iron Man 3 playlist... I usually start with a key song, which in the case of Iron Man 3 was “Sympathy For The Devil” by the Stones. There was something about the lyrics that played into a ton of things we were doing with the movie, and it’s a good track to kick off a writing session, whether I’m at my office or in some shithole hotel on location. Then, it’s a shuffle through some of the following albums. Looking at it now, this is a more soundtrack-oriented playlist than I sometimes write to, but I’m not sure I even noticed that at the time...”
