Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2007 10:41 pm Post subject: Song ideas for a creepy Charlie/Claire video? |
|
|
I've been poring through iTunes and can't find just the right song to use, so I figured I'd ask you lovely folks here. I've decided to make my very first shipper vid -- of sorts. It's basically an AU with the added bonus of CreepyStalker!Charlie, hurrah! Unfortunately, I can't for the life of me think of a good song to use. Snow White Queen by Evanescence would be perfect, but someone made an absolutely amazing Claire and CreepyStalker!Ethan video to that not long ago and I don't want to seem like I'm trying to copy it. I also considered another Evanescence song, Taking Over Me, but there's also a slightly unstable Charlie and Claire shipper vid using that. Sigh.
So I'm in a rut. Any help you guys could provide at all would be very much appreciated. Thanks! |

I started to use "Every Breath You Take" by the Police for an Ethan/Kate vid I did a while back because it has a nice creepy stalker vibe to it. It has been used here at LVI but not for Charlie/Claire. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
Good luck! |

Um, Helena by My Chemical Romance kind of has a beat-heavy base with a little creepy vibe if you listen to the lyrics...plus it's an awesome song. Dunno if it'd work for you though, but it's worth a listen...
What's the worst thing I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and good night
So long and good night
Well if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and good night
So long and good night... _________________ avatar: Plastic!Winchester Theater by anteka @ LJ; icon by me

Well if you're into Evanescence's songs, 'Haunted' is another one you could use. Within Temptation are similar to Evanescence so there's probably a couple of their songs you could use. I'm quite liking 'Forgiven' from their new(ish) album. _________________

I love these type of videos. Evanescene is an awesome choice. I actually used Snow White Queen for a creepy Charlie/Claire vid a while ago and uploaded it on YouTube. But Evanescene has quite a few of those type of songs. I can't really name any, they're all good. But her new album 'The Open Door' has some great songs to fit that mood. I think there may be a good Xandra or Lacuna Coil song that might fit it, I don't know if they're on itunes.. |

So I don't make my fiftieth vid with Elvis Costello, 'I Want You' is always a good choice. (If I can find it on Napster, I'll burn and upload a copy to Z-Share.)
I personally thought it would work really well for something dealing with Ethan and Claire, but if you used Charlie and Claire, it would work well too.
Lyrics!
Quote: | Oh my baby, baby - I love you more than I can tell
I don't think I can live without you and I know that I never will
Oh my baby, baby - I want you so it scares me to death
I can't say anymore than I love you; everything else is a waste of breath
I want you: You've had your fun; you don't get well no more
I want you: Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
Be careful, darling - you might fall
I want you: I woke up and one of us was crying
I want you: You said, "Young man, I do believe you're dying"
I want you: If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days
You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways
I want you: Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget?
I want you: Since when were you so generous and inarticulate?
I want you: It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for
It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
I want you: It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing
I want you: He tossed some tatty compliment your way
I want you: And you were fool enough to love it when he said
"I want you"
I want you: The truth can't hurt you; it's just like the dark
It scares you witless, but in time you see things clear and stark
I want you: Go on and hurt me, then we'll let it drop
I want you: I'm afraid I won't know where to stop
I want you: I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you
I want you: I want to know the things you did that we do too
I want you: I want to hear he pleases you more than I do
I want you: I might as well be useless for all it means to you
I want you: Did you call his name out as he held you down?
I want you: Oh no, my darling - not with that clown
I want you: You've had your fun; you don't get well no more
I want you: No-one who wants you could want you more
I want you: Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up
I want you
I want you: I'm going to say it once again 'til I instill it
I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it
I want you |
... granted, this is more of an adult lyric than might be fitting for Charlie (why I think it would work for Ethan), but damned if it's not obsessive stalker material. _________________ I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.
