Do you know of any songs I can use for my short film ?

Question

I had to make a short film at school on teenage depression/suicide, does anyone know of any appropriate songs I could use, preferably sad slow ones that are also dramatic. Also I need a faster song for the building of tension in a chase type scence any suggestions would be much appreciated. I just need to know the name of the song and artist.

Answer 1

Pain- Three days grace

this is a great song, it has a slow beginning and gets faster.

alot of 3DG's songs are like this.

check them out

Answer 2

Greenday- wake me up. That one always makes me think of depression lol, its a really good song.

Answer 3

Avril Lavigne, Nobody's Home (about being lonely/depressed)

Good Charlotte, Hold On (GREAT one about suicide and depression- the video even has clips of people who have survived suicide and people who have lost loved ones to suicide)

Bink 182, Adam's Song

Metallica, Fade To Black

Black Crowes, She Talks To Angels (references pain, maybe from a "cutter")

Kelly Rowland, Stole (good one about a depressed kid bringing a bomb to school?)

My Chemical Romance, I'm Not Okay (not a slow one, but it's great)

I know a TON of them, I just can't think of them. I'm going to go through my playlists and then I'll add more. Good luck, and great job recognizing this very serious matter.

For the tension scene:

Ozzy, Crazy Train

Good Charlotte, Little Things

Linkin Park, One Step Closer

Ok here are some more:

Something Corporate, Down & If I Die

Linkin Park, Given Up (about wanting to die)

Hawthorne Heights, Rescue Me (about not wanting to be suicidal anymore)

Answer 4

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams- Greenday (loneliness)

My Immortal- Evenesence (about losing someone)

Going Under- Evenesence (gives angry vibe)

Numb- linkin park (or anything from their meteora album)

At least listen to these =]

Answer 5

Actually, using an up-beat song while portraying the grim reality of suicide will get a lot more attention.  If you use Aqua's first CD, the very first song says "we are the happy boys and girls".  show a few gravestones with the dates showing  how young the person was when the died while playing that song, and yo uwill definitely get a reaction.  you can use some hard songs like Guns n roses 'welcome ot the jungle'.. ozzy oasborne and lita ford did a song a few years back called "If i close my eyes forever" that is all about suicide.  and if you want ot know how it feels to have those feelings, and/or  wha happens when you act on those feelings, jsut ask.  I'm a ten-year survivor, and now, a age 24, I am eagerly looking forward to this september whe nI stand beside my BF, and on our day share his last name and life.

Answer 6

R.E.M Everybody Hurts

sorry that's the only sad slow one I can think of

Answer 7

Avril Lavinge - Nobobys home

Avril Lavigne - Now your gone

Avril Lavinge - Keep Holding on

Avril Lavigne - I will be

Avril Lavigne - Runaway

Thats all i can think off sozz x*x
