It’s a very modest title, I think.
the opening scene - artsy shot, panning over snow covered mountains
Stars - What The Snowman Learned about Love: I felt that the beautiful instrumental intro really conveyed a lot about what this fake movie was about.
the protagonist introduction scene - lots of strobe lights
Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch: one of my favorite tracks off of Witching Hour, our protagonist is your typical rebel without a cause, with no cares in the world until…
the masquerade ball scene - with the actual band performing as a cameo
Beirut - Elephant Gun: watch the music video, that’s what the scene looks like in my head
the courtship scene - with their steps syncing with the song
Spoon - I Turn My Camera On: the mixture of Britt Daniel’s voice with the constant bass in the song just exudes cool, which is coincidentally what the protagonist wants to do
the sexy scene - but not showing too much because it’s a serious film
Air - Playground Love: an amazing song that says a lot in a very understated way
the happy scene - lots of smiles and bunnies
The Polyphonic Spree - Light & Day/Reach for the Sun: the spree are a bit TOO happy, but it works as our unnamed protagonist and his love interest frolic through the flowery fields
the break up scene - who didn’t see this one coming?
Muse - Time is Running Out: I almost selected the song I chose for the post break up, I felt that a more angry song was suitable and Matt Bellamy’s wailing does the trick
the post break up scene - undescribable; it’s really sad, okay
Beck - Lost Cause: Beck made Sea Change after a breakup, and honestly I could have picked any track from the album and stuck it in here, oh god it’s so sad
the driving scene - through the desert, while contemplating
M83 - Moonchild: M83’s majestic soundscapes really give the feeling of the openness of the scene, and how empty the protagonist was feeling
the oh my god, i’m about to die scene - cue the flashback
Metric - Live it Out: our protagonist dies by driving off a canyon or ravine or something high up, and during his slow motion fall, he flashes back with this song
the funeral scene - with very light snowfall
Moby - When It’s Cold, I’d Like to Die: an incredibly beautiful, depressing song, there would really be no dialogue, just the song providing all that’s needed to evoke emotion
the ending scene - fading into credits
Radiohead - How To Disappear Completely: on a similar vein to the previous song, I could have switched their positions and been happy with the result
I think I may have thought too much about this.
You did NOT think too much about this. It was necessary.
