Do you have 'theme songs' for your characters or stories?

It's a little weird, but I quite often will be listening to music and find one that describes one of my characters perfectly, so it becomes their theme song, and I refer to it to try to get the same vibe when writing that character. Sometimes I even make it my character's favourite song. Do you do this too?
 
I don't have songs that describe my characters, but I do have songs that inspire scenes from my books. I will listen to them to remember what I was thinking so I can finish the section.

Music in general just helps me write.
 
I haven't tried that, but it makes perfect sense. And it's a good way to develop the character more!!! Brilliant idea!! Does it work for the antagonist as well??
 
I do this all the time. It's actually part of my technique to overcome writer's block. Happy writings!
