Know any good songs about losing your mind?
I was inspired to make a Desmond video to Alice Cooper's "Welcome to my nightmare". I thought it would make a good summary of what it's like to see the future, etc.
guess it happens when you don't pay attention to the lyrics. while I was working on the vid, the lyrics weren't matching up to anything I could apply to Desmond, for example
"Welcome to my vacation/Unnecessary sedation/I know you'll feel at home/Cause you belong"
So while I was struggling to match clips to lyrics, I did come up with a video that wound up being a little AU, and pretty sad. Cooper's song however is upbeat, with heavy rock and funk, and I realized after putting together my little story that "Welcome to my nightmare" would really be more appropriate for a Juliet/Others vid.
So I yanked all the music and just made a video that would be hopefully enjoyable to watch regardless of what song played. Now I need a new tune. There must be tons of songs out there about going crazy and questioning reality, but I can't think of any. I'd welcome any suggestions. If you'd like to beta before you decide, let me know! |

"Flagpole Sitta" by Harvey Danger has some lyrics about going crazy/insane, that's a pretty upbeat, heavy rock song too....
Um....what else comes to mind?
"I wanna be sedated" by The Ramones
"Brain Stew" by Green Day
& also "Hitchin' a Ride" by Green Day - it's not quite about going crazy, moreso drinking/alcoholism, but it might work since Des does seem to enjoy the drink a bit (perhaps a bit too much, hehe )
Hope those give you some ideas!! I'm sure your vid will turn out great!! _________________

Hehe - I might have to take you up on that Trey
I also think "Freak on a Leash" by Korn would be awesome for Ben too _________________

Thanks, Nep! And since we're talking Ben songs, I thought of a great one today myself, although I don't have a lot of Ben footage:
Play for Today (The Cure)
It's not a case
of do what's right
It's just the way I feel that matters
Tell me I'm wrong
I don't really care
It's not a case
of share and share alike
I take what I require
I don't understand
You say it's not fair
You expect me to act like a lover
Follow the rules and deserve the reward
To hold you in my arms and wait
and wait
and wait for something to happen
It's not a case
Of telling the truth
Some words just fit the situation
Call me a liar
You would anyway
It's not a case
Of aiming to please
You know you're always crying
It's just your part
In the play for today |
