Songs Suggestions (with downloads)

Nadia Ali is my favorite vocalist ever. She's the vocalist for the duo iiO. They've had big hits including Rapture, At The End, and Runaway. She will be featured on Armin van Buuren's latest album Shivers and I just though that the song she does is so wonderful. Basically, this song (or any other song with her singing) would be great in an AMV. Her lyrics are so beautiful and different from most of the stuff that gets played today. Here's the song title and lyrics:

Armin van Buuren featuring Nadia Ali - Who Is Watching

Is it stinging, the acid in your stream?
Hear the ringing, voices in between
You picked this tune to play, and you had to have your way
Got your masterpiece, but you don’t seem pleased

So here it is, custom-made
You wrapped the world around your finger
Did you take on an endless tower; has your spring turned into winter?
You’re frozen-cold, a one-man show

But who is watching?
There’s no-one watching

No-one’s watching (repeat)
Oh-oh
No-oh (repeat)

Now you got it, everything you asked
Burned your bridges, so why you turning back?
My doors won’t fit you through; your head’s too heavy to
What could I give you now? Still I sing till…

So here it is, custom-made
You wrapped the world around your finger
Was it all a big mistake; has your spring turned into winter?
You’re in control, a one-man show

But who is watching?
There’s no-one watching

So here it is, custom-made
You wrapped the world around your finger
Your claim to fame turned out a shame; has your spring turned into winter?
You held your own, a one-man show

But no-one’s watching
Now no-one’s watching (repeat 4 times)

You can’t go back and you can’t come back
And you can’t go back and you can’t come back (overlap with chorus)

But who is watching?
There’s no-one watching (repeat 3 times)

No-one’s watching (repeat)
No-oh…


Yes, so that song is very different from the all the other work she has done before. All her songs with iiO are basically electronica (dance/house/trance/etc.), but Who Is Watching is a guitar tune. It reminds me of the music in Secret of Mana.


Here's another song. It's about suicide, but it's very beautiful:

Andain - Beautiful Things

Got up early, found something's missing
My only name.
No one else sees but I got stuck,
And soon forever came.
Stopped pushing on for just a second,
Then nothing's changed.
Who am I this time, where's my name?
I guess it crept away.

No one's calling for me at the door.
And unpredictable won't bother anymore.
And silently gets harder to ignore.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see.
What's done is done, this life has got it's hold on me.
Just let it go, what now can never be.

I forgot that I might see,
So many beautful things.
I forgot that i might need,
To find out what life could bring.

Take this happy ending away, it's all the same.
God won't waste this simplicity on possibility.
Get me up, wake me up, dreams are filling
This trace of blame.
Frozen still I thought I could stop,
Now who's gonna wait.

No one's calling for me at the door.
And unpredictable won't bother anymore.
And silently gets harder to ignore.
Look straight ahead, there's nothing left to see.
What's done is done, this life has got it's hold on me.
Just let it go, what now can never be.

Now what do I do?
Can I change my mind?
Did I think things through?

It was once my life
It was my life at one time.





Another suggestion that I have. This song is very dark. The breakdown in the middle reminds me of a boss-fight scene in video games:

Gudrun Gut featuring Anita Lane - Firething.

Any trance song would do well. I'm a big electronica fan. [MOD99: Suggestion omitted.]

P.S. Keep up the awesome work!

I'm suprised how you guys can give your idea of good songs for an AMV out like this. If I have a song I'd like to use then I'd make sure to keep it to myself, and give everyone sneaky looks thinking they may steal it.

I'm not saying this in a bad way at all, I'm actually quite happy with what you guys are doing. So keep up the good work!

Sorry for the random post.

Andain - Beautiful Things

I imagined RahXephon and Lain Serial Experiments when I was listening to this song. It's good ^^d though I won't be making the AMV.

I don't know how to make AMVs... I just really like them a lot! I'm addicted!

from how you wrote this out and the links are from yousendit, I'm going to assume that these are licensed tracks and should not be distributed like this.

Lock and remove links please.
