I am doing miming in drama. Could you suggest a good emotional or abstract song to mime to?

Question

We have 5 ppl in our group. We need to make up a mime to a powerful, slow, emotinal, abstract or freaky song. We are getting graded on our performance in a week but we can't find a song.

In the performance we have to depict a topic similar to the following. Suicde, death, abuse, drugs, emo, sad stuff, heartbreak.

Could you plz help me?

Answer 1

Best I ever had - Vertical horizon

Goodbye I'm sorry - Jamestown Story

Missing - Evanescence

My Immortal - Evanescence

Answer 2

Listen to 'Beauty of Uncertainty' by KT Tunstall. This song deals with a multitude of interesting ideas and includes lots of lyrical imagery for you to explore with your group. It has has nice sparse sections and builds to an intense refrain where the vocals become pained and longing. The form is Verse-Verse-Verse-Bridge, so don't stop listening untill the end, that's where it gets interesting. I hope this helps:

Answer 3

Crazy - Patsy Kline

National anthem - whatever yours is.

Walk on the wild side - Lou Reed.

All Tommorrows parties - Nico.

I've had enough (kate Mcgarrigle wrote it.)  

There is a ot of really big druggy emotional stuff on Lou Reeds Berlin album but maybe a bit OTT>
