Put the feelings associated with a drug of your choosing into music form. It doesn't have to be experienced based; for example, you can write about a trip, being around others who are tripping, the positivity or negativity associated with your drug...anything.

Not sure if people prefer musical cues (ie something in 11/4) or imaginations cues ( imagine a walk through woods) but here's my contribution. try to write something you could drum along to on a steering wheel.
I hope to hear someone actually post something aural on this sub!

You have had a dream for as long as you can remember. You've had the tools necessary to fulfill that dream but never sat down to put the work in. You're now looking back on all the years you could have been working towards it. You still have a lot of time ahead of you to start, but you wish you would have started sooner.

If WritingPrompts can be comical and still exercise creativity, so can we.

As I understand it, we're all supposed to be using these prompts to write music. Is anyone going to share it? As far as I know people in /r/writingprompts post their creative efforts as replies to posts.

Write a piece about an angel in Heaven who falls to Hell, split into three distinct sections.
Some limitations (challenges):
Keep a main motif that is varied upon throughout the sections
Modulate to mark the beginning of each new section
Limit yourself to three main sections
Write for an unfamiliar instrument
Change partially or wholly the instrumentation between sections to instruments that contrast the feeling of the section (eg. Overdriven electric guitars in a happy section)

"One day with life and heart is more than enough to discover a world." -James Russell Lowell
Write a piece about discovering something new, maybe as small as a new flower growing nearby or as big as a literal world.
Have fun!
