Do you use music as an inspiration for writing?

I tend to write more about the musicians, but to do that you HAVE to include their music.
I don't really get ideas from songs (not yet anyway!) Great musicians are always inspirational to me!Not really in a direct way. Rather, I think that certain types of music are better for enriching my mind and therefore enhance my creativity and expression

Yes, music often inspires me to write. Sometimes, music reminds me of memories which turn on the creative switch. Poetry and music are so entangled in my mind that both get triggered together too often.
Soft and melodious, especially romantic - sometimes inspirational too - is the genre which would inspire me the most.
Often music creates a story floating with the sound which reaches my mind and I can visualize my characters dancing on the tune, or have their faces painted with passionate expressions - using the music as a background effect.
Great lyrics are inspiring too, I feel like complimenting them, extending them, praising them. And yeah, stupid lyrics are inspiring too, I feel like making fun of them.
I don't do that very often, but I might start doing it on a regular basis in future, so you could count that in inspiration - genre - satire.
I wrote a poem - inspired by a song - for my sweetheart - long ago. About ten years ago.
The song was in Hindi (my mother tongue) had lyrics, a portion of them meant this: we are apart for so long, when will this separation end? I've to travel, very long from night to morning each day... (Excuse my translation capabilities, but I hope this gives an idea)
And here are the first few lines of the inspired poem:
The distance actually between you and me may be few hundred miles...
But how shall I calculate the distance between my seeing your smiles...
The distance between the two days I see you, has turned into months...
I start in the morning by hoping change - happiness will come our way...
And each day passes by...
