4 people who can't make AMVs but have good song suggestions

"...i raised the flag that she unfurled..."

yes, i'm aware of what the song is about. but i doubt that many other people are (or even aware of the song in the first place). i was thinking more along the lines of the song's sound and title than the peculiar sexual implications of its lyrics when i suggested that one.

still, congratulations on figuring that one out. as i said, i doubt many people quite catch on to things like that anymore (and why should they, when so many modern artists are so much more explicit).

"Armin van Buuren - Yet another Day" for Evangelion

It's a trance song. Think Soul of an Angel.

"Some things disappear inside.
Should I try to run away.
If I could I would escape you.
I won't argue anymore.
I have lost the will to be.
Hope you don't think I'm ungrateful.
Why, why are you laughing?
Is it something that I said?

I don't like this place at all.
Makes me wonder what I'm here for.
Someone take this pain away.
Dying to see another day.
And I don't want to be your friend.
Or pretend I can fit into.
I'm incensed, I'm blown away.
Dying to see another day.

Close the curtains lock the door.
Left my note upon the stair.
In hope you wouldn't read it.
Fake emotions in my head.
Everything I've seen and read.
Can't begin to find a reason.
Why, why are you laughing?
Is it something that I said?...

I don't like this place at all.
Makes me wonder what I'm here for.
Someone take this pain away.
Dying to see another day.
And I don't want to be your friend.
Or pretend I can fit into.
I'm incensed, I'm blown away.
Dying to see another day.

in case anyone is so curious as to wonder about the rest of the lyrics to "hunting girl", here they are:

one day i walked the roads
and crossed a field to go
by where the hounds ran hard.
and on the master raced:
behind the hunters chased
to where the path was barred.
one fine young lady's horse refused the fence to clear.
i unlocked the gate but she did wait until the pack had disappeared.

crop handle carved in bone -
sat high upon a throne
of finest english leather.
the queen of all the pack,
this joker raised his hat
and talked about the weather.
all should be warned about this high born hunting girl.
she took the simple man's downfall in hand -
i raised the flag that she unfurled.

boot leather flashing and spur-necks the size of my thumb.
this highborn hunter had tastes as strange as they come.

unbridled passion - i took the bit in my teeth.
her standing over - me on my knees underneath.

my lady, be discrete.
i must get to my feet -
and go back to the farm.
while i appreciate
you are no deviate,
i might come to some harm.
i'm not inclined to acts refined, if that's how it goes.
oh, high born hunting girl -
i'm just a normal low born so and so.
______________________________

it doesn't seem like that far a fit from mononoke, however, if you take some of the metaphor literally in your choice of visuals.

trying to make an ecchi vid with this would probably just leave the audience at a loss unless they had this lyrics sheet sitting in front of them, especially given the celtic/military/rock feel of the song.

Considering that while I would want to make my own, but am completely clueless to the particular, and I can't understand the guides(which is my fault entirely), so to that end I have these suggestions:

Unwritten Law: Before I Go
Unwritten Law: Cailin
Sarah McLachlan: Stupid
The Flys: Got You Where I Want You
Disturbed: Dehumanized.

And that is all.

Here's a combination that appealed to me so much that I picked up a legit copy of Adobe Premiere and attempted to start it, but I've got so much to do it just never took off:

Song: The Devil Went Down to Georgia - Jack Daniels Band
Anime: FLCL

that is a good song, I've played it in Orchestra, it's fun.

Song:I'm just a kid-Simple Plan
Anime:Inuyasha (humor)

Charlie Daniels is a band, Jack Daniels is a whisky. Last I heard "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" came off of "Million Mile Reflections", not a liquor store shelf.

Does sound like an interesting possibility, though.

Here's another one Pardon Me by Incubus set maybe to Witch Hunter Robin or any other anime in which people burn.

Hero Man · Post by **Hero Man** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 6:06 pm

Here's what I'd like to see. . .

N.E.R.D. - Rockstar
I don't really care which anime it's set to.

Barenaked Ladies - Chimpanzees
Maybe a Pokémon AMV about Mankeys and Primapes.

"Weird Al" Yankovic - You Don't Love Me Anymore
Should be set to Love Hina or something funny, since the song is just that

Jay-Z - Dirt Off Your Shoulder
Instead of EvaAdidas's idea, I think it should be about a really tough character, like Sanouske (sp?) or Kaiba or something like that.

This one's so obvious; I can't believe I didn't think of it before:
CHER LYRICS

"Half Breed"

My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The indians said I was white by law
The White Man always called me "Indian Squaw"

[CHORUS:]
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

We never settled, went from town to town
When you're not welcome you don't hang around
The other children always laughed at me "Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee"

[Repeat Chorus]

We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can't run away from what I am

[Repeat chorus]
