DAY 22
Song: "Disturbia"
Artist: Rihanna
Album: Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded (2008)
This song single-handedly fueled my horror writing for the better part of a year. I remember this was still at the point where Rihanna was considered another traditional pop star, and a song (and video) this dark really took people by surprise. Oh, if only they knew what was in store for them two years later when Rihanna would release "S&M" ... 
I love the haunting quality of this song; the industrial beat and her melodic lyrics... it's just such a delightfully creepy song, it was a major inspiration for me whenever I wanted to write something darker and needed to tap into that part of my psyche that I usually keep locked away in the presence of company. 
The song was actually developed with then-boyfriend Chris Brown (and we all know how that worked out  ), and debuted as part of a re-release of one of her earlier albums. I like a lot of Rihanna's songs, but I think this one will always be my favorite because it was such a significant part of my writing in the years where I was trying to branch out and learn how to write some much darker, more sinister stuff than I had in the past.
