What song would you use to depict Anakin's feelings in Ep.3?

4. Look What You've Done/Jet - Get Born (Elektra)

 

Heh, On my Yahoo! station, I just heard "Fade to Black" and was going to post that one.

Even though "Master of Puppets" is about drugs, it fits because Anakin's drug is power.

Ohhhhh..."Damage, Inc." is PERFECT!

 

Use me up - Bill Withers
Special kind of fool - Basic Black
Everybody wants to rule the world - Tears for Fears
Loser - Beck

 

I would be thinking of Highlander the whole time

 

maybe anakin couldve yelled 'there can be only one' before decapitating dooku then in the beginning.

(i hate highlander believe it or not, i was forced to watch all the movies and the show by someone)


ooh, i know has anyone mentioned the song 'let me go' by 3 doors down...that would fit anakin's feelings

 

So far, I haven't seen any mention of what I think would be two very obvious choices:

"No More Mr. Nice Guy" - Alice Cooper
"Search and Destroy" - Iggy (Pop) and the Stooges

I was also thinking about "Daddy's Speeding," by (the London) Suede, although that would probably more effective at depicting Luke's point of view about Anakin. (Just as a side note: "Daddy's Speeding" was actually inspired by James Dean, which is really interesting in light of George Lucas' comments regarding Hayden Chrsistensen's 'sullen' quality in one of the featurettes on the AOTC bonus disc!)

Another really good choice would be "In My Darkest Moment" by Hanoi Rocks, from their recent comeback disc "Twelve Shots on the Rocks." Off the top of my head I'm also thinking "Fell on Black Days" by Soundgarden. (Or, come to think of it, almost half of the songs on their "Superunknown" disc!)

By the way, has anyone heard A Perfect Circle's cover of Joni Mitchell's "Fiddle and the Drum" on their recent covers disc "eMotive"? Check it out and see if the words sung to "dear Johnny" couldn't be equally applicable to Anakin!

 

Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve.

 

This is going ot sound crazy but i would choose "Lux Aeterna" in "Requiem for a dream.' It's a sad song probably it should be used for the Order 66 part than "Anakin's betrayal."

 

^^^^^^^^^^
JediCouncilMaster,
Dagnabit! Why didn't I think of that?! And I'm a really big fan of "Requiem for a Dream," too!

 

The Ramones - Needles and Pins

 

If anyone has seen "Wicked" the musical, they would see some striking little similarities between it and the star wars prequels. I would say that the song that best fit Anakin would be "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" by Idina Menzel. Here are the lyrics:

ELPHABA (Anakin)
Fiyero! (Padme)
(sung) Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen (Here she is casting a spell, as she is a witch, and Anakin is a jedi)

Let his flesh not be torn
Let his blood leave no stain
Though they beat him
Let him feel no pain
Let his bones never break
And however they try
To destroy him
Let him never die:
Let him never die: (duh)

Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka: eleka:(more spell casting)

What good is this chanting?
I don't even know what I'm reading!
I don't even know which trick I ought to try
Fiyero, where are you?
Already dead, or bleeding?
One more disaster I can add to my
Generous supply?

Unlimited
The damage is unlimited
To everyone I've tried to help
Or tried to love
And, oh, Fiyero, you're the latest
Victim of my greatest achievement
In a long career of distress
Every time I could, I tried making good
And what I made was a mess!

No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished!

Fiyero
Fiyero!!

One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention:
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why

No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well -
Well, look at what well-meant did (trying to save Padme actually kills her in the end)
All right, enough - so be it
So be it, then!:
Let all Oz be agreed
I'm wicked through and through
Since I can not succeed
Fiyero, saving you
I promise no good deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again
No good deed
Will I do again! (And he becomes evil.)

Cool, huh?

PS - This musical rocks. And Mark Hamill has been quoted as loving it and going to see it "all the time"

 

"Loser" by "3 Doors Down"

or some other sad song

 

"Another One Bites the Dust"

"And another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust. I'm gonna getcha too, another one bites the dust".

 

Dave Matthews Band- The Stone (READ THE LYRICS!!)

I've this creeping
Suspicion that things are not
as they seem
Reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep
I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see
Yes I have done wrong
But what I did I thought
needed be done
I swear
Unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
This weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
I was just wondering if
you'd come along
To hold up my head when my head
won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's
what you want
If not I'll go
I will go alone
I'm a long way
From that fool's mistake and
now forever pay
No, run
I will run and I'll be ok
I was just wondering if
you'd come along
To hold up my head when my head
won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's
what you want
If not I'll go
I will go alone
I need so
To stay in your arms, see you smile, hold you close
And it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and
a bone chilling cold
I was just wondering if
you'd come along
Tell me you will

 

Yeah I think "Lux Aeterna" from "Requiem for a dream" is the right choice. It's pretty sad and heartbreaking to listen to but it would fit in. Anyone agree?

 

Actually, 'Gollum's Song' from the Two Towers soundtrack fits really damn well.

"Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more
Don't say goodbye
Don't say I didn't try

These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies you told us
The hurt, the blame!
And we will weep to be so alone
We are lost
We can never go home

So in the end
I'll be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me

Now we say goodbye
We say you didn't try

These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame!

And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost
You can never go home
You are lost
You can never go home"

 

Damn it, TomPiltoff, you beat me to it!
Gollum's Song is indeed the perfect one. It makes me so sad to sing it while thinking of Anakin. More so than thinking of Sméagol, actually.



And we wept, Precious
/LM

 

Lars Muul,
And I wept as well! I'm just getting one-upped left and right around here!

 

I know the feeling. You know what's even more amazing? I think the harmonies in Gollum's Song fit very well with the mood in the Mustafar section of ROTS. I don't know if Williams was inspired by Shore, but it's possibly and even likely. I mean, why would the great composers not take inspiration from eachother?



Man, I gotta go see this movie again
/LM

 

I would use Crawling by Linkin Park because Anakin was so angsty.

 

I find that CKY's "Flesh Into Gear" is a good song to describe Anakin. I bolded the parts that I felt were most descriptive.

i can't expect you to see
me when i'm not around
and my voice is destroyed
by confinement of sound
i'm a human machine
laced with hidden disease
if the future looks bleak
then you're connected to me

flesh into gear
myself appears dissected and pretentious
a simple sound a heavy sigh
you'll win the whole world over
you'll live in fear of being someone that you didn't want to
i realize your insecurities will get the best of you

a traitor's embrace
how foolish how wrong
contained in one place
anxiety spawns
unopened reowned
what's needed upscaled
digested inhaled
unwilling unwound

flesh into gear
myself appears dissected and pretentious
a simple sound a heavy sigh
you'll win the whole world over
you'll live in fear of being someone that you didn't want to
i realize your insecurities will get the best of you

flesh into gear
myself appears dissected and pretentious
a simple sound a heavy sigh
you'll win the whole world over
you'll live in fear of being someone that you didn't want to
i realize your insecurities will get the best of you
