I'M CALLING ON THE POWER OF LVI TO HELP ME.

I'm looking for a song about a strong, independent woman. In the same vein as "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks. Just don't want to use that one because... Well, it's used a lot.

And if it could not be about "oh this man screwed me over so I'll show him how awesome I am without him" that would be great. XD

The character I want to vid with this song is Lilah Morgan from Angel, if anyone is familiar with that.

There is a song they used for the Buffy promo during season 7.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYu0xObibl0

The chorus is this


You say I'm just a little girl, just a little girl
How can I compare? What do I know?
What have I got to share?
But there's nothing in this world, nothing in this world
That could hold me down, can't you hear me?
Don't you understand
That I want to be myself, want to be the girl,
want to be the one that you can rely on
How I wish that you could see all there is of me
How I long to hear that you take me
For who I am


Just read it's about Lilah.

JACK OFF JILL - DEVIL WITH THE BLACK DRESS ON

Ever look into anything by Alanis? Or Garbage? Very two strong and independent performers right there.

Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves

Elton John - The Bitch is back

Billy Joel - Stiletto

Foreigner - Cold as Ice

I'd say in the middle. It'd be a vid about Eowyn and Eomer from Lord of the Rings. Not sure if you're familiar with the fandom?
I couldn't find a good, fitting song yet.


There's a creepy song called 'Cry Little Sister'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fFo-WZsm5Q

Here's another modern version of the same song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS3kYVGMJGY&feature=related

This is coldplay's 'Brothers and sisters' I don't know if this will help or not.

I'm looking for a good, slightly angsty character centric song. The character is Shawn Spencer from Psych... I was thinking of doing Numb by Linkin Park, but that song is kinda over done, so I was hoping for something new and fresh.



A few Nine Inch Nails songs, Something I Can Never Have, Right Where It Belongs, And All THat Could Have Been.

Jimmy Eat World - Disintegration, Gotta Be Somebody's Blues

There's A Light - Jay Malinowski

Thanks so much for all the suggestions, Brooke! That'll definitely be helpful! I do know of a few songs that Alanis that I'm thinking about.

Your welcome. I wasn't sure what kind you wanted genre wise so I went for a variety.

By the way I am looking forward to this Lilah Morgan vid.

The one that just popped into my head is Getting Late by Rob Thomas. Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JknIN3fRGi8

It definitely fits in the sad/happy/quirky category.

Thank you so much for your ideas, Brooke! I'll listen to the songs. Maybe one of them will be just right for my vid

Is it an Ensemble vid?

How about "Shiny Happy People" by REM?

Okay I have two song help questions.


First, I need a good song to vid Sarah & John from I Am Number Four. I was going to use Losing Your Memory by Ryan Star, but it's so overvidded (even if it is beautiful!)


Also, I need some good instrumental type songs (can have some words, but mostly instrumental) for my contest video. Since it's an actor tribute, it'll probably have lots of voiceovers and I really don't wanna have to try to work over lyrics if I can help it.

So any suggestions you guys can give me would be awesome!

I really really really love Street Map, and it fits John/Sarah so well! Thanks Brooke.


I also adore that second instrumental that you posted a link to. I really just need something soft so that it doesn't seem like the voiceovers are fighting for power over the music. Ya know?

Thanks for the help brooke!

I'm not much help with music suggestions (and Brooke pretty much has you totally covered anyway ) but I just wanted to say yay for an I Am Number Four vid! \o/ I did a vid for Number Six a while back and I've been hoping somebody else would submit something for this movie one of these days! Can't wait to see it!
