Chronic Husker 85 Posted February 20, 2007 Everybody Hurts - REM. If I were making a movie, I'd probably pick Mazzy Star "Fade Into You". I'm pretty sure this is the song you'll end up using. Also, go to bed, Dave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dave32 14 Posted February 20, 2007 a guy is having a bad day and flips out on his one friend, but then later he finds out he dies. you never find out from what, but you see him in the hospital and then at his grave. I'm loving all the suggestions keep them coming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kutulu 1,552 Posted February 20, 2007 Something I Can Never Have - NIN or dirt or anything by NIN...AIC may have a few "down" songs as well. I hurt myself todayTo see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end You could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of ###### Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right here What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end You could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way <------The man in black.

TD Ryan2 314 Posted February 20, 2007 a guy is having a bad day and flips out on his one friend, but then later he finds out he dies. you never find out from what, but you see him in the hospital and then at his grave. I'm loving all the suggestions keep them coming! are you looking for something pop/rock? or something more instrumental, classical, or new age? Springsteen - Nothing Man (on The Rising) Don Henley - New York Minute (don't really like the song, but it may fit) Van Morrison - Into the Mystic (dying, lost friends, etc) I will find you - Clannad (from Last of the Mohicans soundtrack) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 3,455 Posted February 20, 2007 Van Morrison - Into the Mystic (dying, lost friends, etc) I will find you - Clannad (from Last of the Mohicans soundtrack) Anything from Van Morrison should fit the bill, and that Mohicans soundtrack is chilling to be sure When that dood promises the chick that he will find her no matter what, the wife always gets in the mood...

MicktheGreat 1 Posted February 20, 2007 Some good recommendations in this thread so far. I've always found Ben Folds' "Fred Jones Part 2" to be really depressing... Fred sits alone at his desk in the dark, There's an awkward young shadow that waits in the hall. He's cleared all his things and he's put them in boxes, Things that remind him that life has been good. Twenty-five years, he's worked at the paper, A man's here to take him downstairs. And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones. It's time. There was no party, there were no songs 'Cause today's just a day like the day that he started. No one is left here that knows his first name, And life barrels on like a runaway train Where the passengers change but they don't change anything, You get off, someone else can get on. And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones. It's time. Streetlight shines through the shade, Casting lines on the floor and lines on his face, He reflects on the day. Fred gets his paints out and goes to the basement, Projecting some slides onto a plain white Canvas and traces it, fills in the spaces, And turns off the slides, but it doesn't look right. Yeah, and all of these bastards have taken his place, He's forgotten but not yet gone. And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones. And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones. And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones. It's time.
