I thought it would be good to have a thread where, if you're not sure about what kind of song to use, or you're looking for a particular kind of song then you can ask here, people can give you songs that they know and then, if necessary you can go to Charlee's Song Request thread and ask for it there.
So I was wondering, does anybody know of any good songs about parents/children and their relationship? I want to do a Ben/Alex vid and I want a good song that would suit them. I've got Slipping Through My Fingers but I cant really work with it. Any suggestions? _________________

"Confessions of a Broken Heart" by Lindsey Lohan is good, but I think there's already a Ben/Alex vid with that one....
There's a couple country songs about daddies giving their daughters away or whatever..."I Loved Her First" by Heartland or "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw? Both of those might be a little sweet for Ben, though, lol. 
Good idea for a thread, by the way!  _________________

Awesome idea for a thread amy!
As for your ben/alex vid, what kind of mood do you want it for? Because there's a good song by Michael Bublé called Daddy's Little Girl, and its kinda sweet, moody. But then there's Isn't She Lovely? by Stevie Wonder which is more upbeat  _________________

The One Who Knows by: Dar Williams
Lyics 
[spoiler:ad3ba0199a]Time it was I had a dream
And you're the dream come true
And if I had the world to give
I'd give it all to you.
I'll take you to the mountains
I will take you to the sea
I'll show you how this life became
A miracle to me.
You'll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done, you'll be the one who knows.
All the things you treasure most
Will be the hardest won
I will watch you struggle on
For the answers come
But I won't make it harder
I'll be there to cheer you up
I'll shine the light that guides you down
The road you're walking on
You'll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done, you'll be the one who knows.
Before the mountains call to you
Before you leave this home
I will teach your heart to trust
As I will teach my own
But sometimes I will ask the moon
Where it shined upon you last
And shake my head and laugh me say
It all went by so fast
You'll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done, you'll be the one who knows.[/spoiler:ad3ba0199a] _________________

ok, I'm going to use my own thread again
Anybody have a good song for a really dark Charlie vid? Preferably a song that's not overplayed? It's got to be a dark song perhaps about murder or something? i cant explain it but any suggestions would be great!  _________________

Oooooh! I bet there are loads! About murder? Is this for a character study? Or AU or something?
Uhh you could try Breath by Breaking Benjamin
Maybe Sweet Sacrafice or Thoughtless by Evanescence.
Sorry can't think of any more. If I come across something I'll let you know!  |

depends what kind of vid you're doing. Is it an AU or just a tribute? Instrumentals are good for that sort of thing because normally songs just have one type of mood. I know the Lost soundtrack particularly has some moving songs that you could use, aside from the obvious ones like Life & Death.
Parting Words and The Gathering from the soundtrack both start of quite bittersweet and then end on a hopeful note.
I dont know if this helps or not but i dont really know a lot of music to know any non-instrumental songs like you want :S _________________

I used this in a non-Lost vid... starts out sad, but definitely ends on a note of hope
