Need help selecting a song for Death Note AMV

Postby Ishiaru » Mon Apr 28, 2008 3:28 pm

Hey,

I've been looking for a song that has to do with murder and/or something to do with the plot.

The following are the songs I am not looking for:

- ANY linkin park songs (they're great, but it's getting unoriginal)
- Getting away with murder - Papa Roach (I've used it)
- Any slow songs

Thanks in advance. I will greatly appreciate any suggestions.

I moved this here as it's more appropriate than in General Music.
"A creator needs only one enthusiast to justify him." - Man Ray
"Restrictions breed creativity." - Mark Rosewater

"Killing me softly" I forgot who it's by

"It ends tonight" by all american rejects
the lyrics say something like "when darkness turns to Light, it ends tonight"
new banzors in the making :p

Last Day of 1888 by Kids in the Way
It would have to be done from a perspective other than Light, though, as it's sung from the viewpoint of the person being murdered.

Kids in the Way wrote:Crowded streets and the memories of all the faces you see
you don't know who I am when you're looking at me.

Hang me tonight in this false and jaded light.
In the center of the square, murder's breeding in the air.
We're all innocent.
The shadow's playing with our eyes.
It's playing with our eyes.

Sharpened tongues and the loaded guns of all the forunate sons;
you're the jack, back in black, ripping air from our lungs.

Hang me tonight in this false and jaded light.
In the center of the square, murder's breeding in the air.
We're all innocent.
The shadow's playing with our eyes.
The shadow's playing with our eyes.
The shadow's playing...

I'd cut my heart out of my chest and attach it to my sleeve.
If I thought that you would think differently of me.
I'd cut my heart out of my chest and attach it to my sleeve,
If I thought you'd think differently.

Hang me tonight in this false and jaded light.
In the center of the square, murder's breeding in the air.
We're all innocent.
The shadow's playing...

Hang me tonight in the false and jaded light.
In the center of the square, it's breeding in the air.
We're all innocent.
The shadow's playing with our eyes.
It's playing with our eyes.
The shadows play with our eyes.


Also, this song isn't actually about murder, but you might could twist it to work.
Regime Change by Disciple

Disciple wrote:Build it up, I’ll tear it down.
My finger in the strings connected to your hands,
I dance the mockery, a theme of decadence.
Now I, I'm sinking in this violence;
This time, emancipation is my right.

This is what I want, for you to die;
This is what I want, to be alive.

Scene of complacency, an apathetic mind,
But when it’s brought to light, I see a king on a borrowed throne.
Right now, the violence taking over,
This time, regimes are changing in my mind.

This is what I want, for you to die;
This is what I want, to be alive.

And I’m so sorry, my old friend, I’m leaving you tonight;
So caught in this moment, the last breath of your life.

So sorry!

This is what I want (I'm sinking in this violence), for you to die (emancipation is my right);
This is what I want (the violence taking over), to be alive (regimes are changing in my mind).

So sorry! Try to understand! [x2]
So sorry! Understand!
So sorry!

That last song is flipping awesome. :up:



I actually have an awesome song that's explicitly about murder, but it doesn't even come close to resembling Death Note. :\
... yea ...

I had this idea a while ago but I never completed it or anything.

Puscifer - The Undertaker

There are two versions of the song. The album version and the Renholder mix.

Album: http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=Oxse7hW1qAc
Mix: http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=WM6YevemuaQ

Lyrics (for the Renholder mix, the album version doesn't differ much):

Thank you for making me
feel like I'm guilty
Making it easy to murder your sweet memory

You were way out of line,
went and turned it all around on me again
How can I not smell your lie
Through the smoke and arrogance?

But now I know
So you will not get away with it again
I'm distant in those hollow eyes
For I have reached my end. So...

Thank you for making me
feel like I'm guilty
Making it easy to murder your sweet memory

Before I go tell me
Were you ever who you claimed yourself to be?

Either way i must say goodbye.
You're dead to me. So I...

Thank you for making me
feel like I'm guilty
Making it easy to murder your sweet memory

I'm severing the heart then I'm leaving your corpse behind
Not dead but soon to be, though.
I won't be the one who killed you
I'll just leave that up to you

I'm not gonna be here to revive you
I'm not gonna be here to revive you
I'm not gonna be here to revive you
I'm gonna be the one to say...

I told you so (X8)
I told you

Severing the heart then I'm leaving you corpse behind
Not dead but soon to be and
I'm gonna be the one to say I told you so

depends on what version you are looking to use, its a really old song, the most recent version is by The Fugees but it takes out some of the lyrics...

You'd need a subtitles for it, because the song is in Mandarin, but I think Jay Chou's 'Twilight's Chapter Seven' would work really well for a Deathnote AMV. Very atmospheric, chilling song (for Chinese pop), and also extremely appropriate to Deathnote's tone.

Jay Chou (in translation) wrote:In a small alley on a sunlit December day, 1983
Twilight’s Chapter Seven
The typewriter continues to push to truth, to the next line
The smoke from the pipe
Floats toward the withered trees
You silently cry to me

Off Baker Street, the circular park
The iris-shaped badge on the knight’s arm
Dimly lit

Not a sound, man, horse or cart
A late-night visit
Evil under a Victorian moon

A bloody first act
A disappearing pistol
A charred cane
A melted wax figure
Who wasn’t at the scene of the crime?

On the jewellery box
Glyphs form a red herring
Contradictions lead up to the dead end he made
The evidence is perfectly buried
As declared by the mouth that scorns Scotland Yard

If evil is a glorious, cruel chapter
(Then justice is a deep, hopeless depression)
I will personally write its ending
(Then I light up the spark in the ashes)
The morning breeze and sun dry the last sad line
(Such raindrops will wash the tall, dark wall)
The black ink tainted with serenity
(The lights dim; the red curtain falls)

The truth hits the earth without leaving footprints
The distinct sweet smell of flowers; colourful clothing ensnares the sight
For different reasons, everyone dons a mask and tells lies
Motives have but the single name of ‘desire’
Across the human swamp, who can escape defilement?
We can forgive and forget, but must know the truth
The iron bed has been moved, the last piece of the puzzle falls into place

I hear footsteps: the anticipated leather shoes following me
He pushes the door open, the kerosene lamp flickers in the night breeze
The typewriter pauses at the murderer’s name; I turn about
Westminster Abbey’s night sky starts to boil
An opening on the chest, a beautiful death
I taste one last mouthful of sweet truth
I smile as I think on justice, only quietly served
The violin lies on the Thames

If evil is a glorious, cruel chapter
(Then justice is a deep, hopeless depression)
I will personally write its ending
(The typewriter pauses at the murderer’s name; I turn)
The morning breeze and sun dry the last sad line
(Westminster Abbey’s night sky starts to boil)
The black ink tainted with serenity

If evil is a glorious, cruel chapter
I will personally write its ending
The morning breeze and sun dry the last sad line
The black ink tainted with serenity


And in the original Mandarin (if you're interested):

Jay Chou wrote:1983年小巷12月晴朗
夜的第七章
打字机继续推向
接近事实的那下一行
石楠烟斗的雾
飘箱枯萎的树
沉默的对我哭


贝克街旁
的圆形广场
盔甲骑士臂上
鸢尾花的徽章
微亮

无人马车声响
深夜的拜访
邪恶
在维多利亚的月光下
血色的开场
消失的手枪
焦黑的手杖
融化的蜡像
谁不在场?

珠宝箱上
符号的假象
茅盾通往他堆砌的死巷
证据被完美埋葬
那嘲弄苏格兰警场
的嘴角上扬

如果邪恶是华丽残酷的乐章
(那么正义是深沉无奈的惆怅)
它的终场我回亲手写上
(那我就点亮在灰烬中的微光)
晨曦的光风干最后一行忧伤
(那么雨滴会洗净黑暗的高墙)
黑色的墨染上安详
(散场灯关上红色的布幕下降)

事实只能穿向没有脚印的土壤
突兀的细微花香刻意显眼的服装
每个人为不同的理由戴着面具说谎
动机也只有一种名字那叫做欲望
越过人性的沼泽
谁真得可以不被弄脏
我们可以遗忘原谅但必须知道真相
被移动过的铁床那最后一块图终于拼上
我听见脚步声
预料的软皮鞋根
他推开门晚风晃了煤油灯
一阵打字机停在凶手的名称我转身
西敏寺的夜空开始沸腾
在胸口绽放艳丽的死亡
我品尝这最后一口甜美的真相
微笑回想正义只是安静地伸张
提琴在泰晤士

如果邪恶是华丽残酷的乐章
(那么正义是深沉无奈的惆怅)
它的终场我回亲手写上
(打字机停在凶手的名称我转身
西敏寺的夜空开始沸腾)
黑色的墨染上安详

如果邪恶是华丽残酷的乐章
它的终场我回亲手写上
晨曦的光风干最后一行忧伤
黑色的墨染上安详


Awesome song. Sorry, I'm going off to listen to it now... :P

Someone suggested to me that I make a DN with The Becoming by Nine Inch Nails. I didn't really feel like doing another Light vid anytime soon, but I thought I'd pass on the suggestion cuz I really do think it was a good idea. 8-)

If that kind of thing is your style. Personally I don't think anything goes better with Death Note than NIN, I've made 3 already.

The Becoming Lyrics
I beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me
I'm stuck in this dream it's changing me I am becoming

the me that you know had some second thoughts
he's covered with scabs and he is broken and sore
the me that you know doesn't come around much
that part of me isn't here anymore

all pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry
drowns out all I hear there's no escape from this my new consciousness

that me that you know used to have feelings
but the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay
the me that you know is now made up of wires
and even when I'm right with you I'm so far away

I can try to get away but I’ve strapped myself in
I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
I can see it killing away all my bad parts
I don't want to listen but it's all too clear

hiding backwards inside of me I feel so unafraid
Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip away

it won't give up it wants me dead
goddamn this noise inside my head
