Any suggestions on music for an Eva video?

Apeotheosis · Post by **Apeotheosis** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 6:01 pm

I'm about to make an Evangelion video using both movies and the series...yes, my computer is at a critical low, lol. I'm using a laptop to boot.

Anyway, I will most likely eventually find my own music and have a few in mind, but hey - why not ask the audience hm? It works on "Who wants to be a millionare?"

It's going to be:

A. A horror/suspenseful video (*cringe*) - Not for sure on that one.
B. Underlying meaning video/emotional
C. Character profile on Shinji

I will consider others, but these are probably what I'm gonna be shootin for. I was thinking of a song about dreaming, running away (for Shinji), or a subtle holy song emotionally packed to almost, and I mean almost, cause it wouldn't really be - a parody of angels. Also, by subtle I mean, not:

"I love God. You are the holiest of all holy. We hail you. My life is nothing without you God."

You get the picture. It's just not what I'm lookin for. But thanks for everyone that will respond.

PS: I'm not looking for a religious discussion...man, I've had way too many of those. So please no arguments about religious music or anything. Late.

HEY i found the lyrics. I figured id take longer, but come to think of it, i couldve put it with the last post if i had waited...thanks again for the post on Adobe!!!

Nickelback
Too Bad

Father's hands are lined with dirt
from long days in the field
mother's hands are serving meals
in a cafe on main street
with mouths to feed...
just trying to keep clothing on our backs
and all i hear about it... is how it's so bad

It's too bad, it's stupid
too late, so wrong, so long
it's too bad, we had no time to rewind
lets walk, lets talk

you left without saying goodbye
although i'm sure you tried
you called the house from time to time
to make sure we're alive
but you weren't there
right when i needed you the most
and now i dream about it... and how it's so bad

It's too bad, it's stupid
too late, so wrong, so long
it's too bad, we had no time to rewind
lets walk, lets talk

It's too bad, it's stupid
too late, so wrong, so long
it's too bad, we had no time to rewind
lets walk, lets talk

Father's hands are lined with guilt
from tearing us apart
guess it turned out in the end
just look at where we are
we made it out...
we still got clothing on our backs
and now I scream about it... and how it's so bad, its so bad...

It's too bad, it's stupid
too late, so wrong, so long
it's too bad, we had no time to rewind
lets walk, lets talk

It's too bad, it's stupid
too late, so wrong, so long
it's too bad, we had no time to rewind
lets walk, lets talk

let's talk...

Its better to hear the song for a good idea of the feel, but the lyrics are a start, right?

I would have to say that that's a very good choice for a character profile of Shinji Gepetto. I thank you very much for your imput and listing the lyrics to the song. But I forgot to say that I'm looking for something that hasn't been used if possible...I know, that's why it's so hard for me to find songs that I'm looking forward to using.

I realize that there's one made but it's not for dl, so I'll consider it. Thanks again Gepetto.

How about Metallica - Holier than Thou

the lyrics:

No more!
the crap rolls out your mouth again
haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
little whispers circle around your head
why don't you worry about yourself instead

who are you? where ya been? where ya from?
gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
you lie so much you believe yourself
judge not lest ye be judged yourself

holier than thou
you are
holier than thou
you are

you know not

before you judge me take a look at you
can't you find something better to do
point the finger, slow to understand
arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

it's not who you are it's who you know
others lives are the basis of your own
burn your bridges build them back with wealth
judge not lest ye be judged yourself

holier than thou
you are
holier than thou
you are

you know not

Once again thanks, but that's just not what I'm looking for I'm afraid

I guess I'll have to break down and really search some lyric archives perhaps ^_^

I have most definitly found the song that I'm looking for. My God...I love it. I'm sorry that I can't reveal it, fear that someone might take it has overcome me. Because so far I haven't been able to find many amvs that have even used the song, let alone an Eva vid. Wahooo! I'm so glad. Time to get to work.
