Classical music can be a great source of inspiration for songwriters of all styles as, most of the time, even the most famous classical works are in the public domain, and therefore, free for us to use however we please! Countless pop and rock songs have been based on classical pieces, with some of the most influential pieces spawning multiple songs!

NOTE: March 2022, I had to remove the section about Pavane and Little Mix due to copyright issues.

📍This video was originally sponsored by "Primephonic", however, now that "Primephonic" is no longer available I have removed the sponsored materials from the video.
