Songs suitable for Let Me In

[Theinfected914]

In flames: Your bedtime story is scaring everyone. I think it would be prefect for a scene with Hakan and Eli. You have to include at least one track by them, they are from Sweden!!

ABBA: Another town, another train. Famous Swedish group from the 70's and 80's. You have to include this song, I think.

Wednesday 13: Curse of me. Eli is sure as hell cursed.

DJ Z-trip feat Chester Bennington: The walking dead. Haha, listen to the opening and you'll see why.

Marilyn Manson: Coma white. Maybe just sample the part, "You were from a perfect world, a world that threw me away, today" Or maybe sample: If I was your vampire. "If I was your vampire, certain as the moon. Instead of killing time, we'll have each other until the sun"

Mudvayne: Fall into sleep. Maybe something with Oskar and his dad.

Murder by death: Desert's on fire. Considering this will be taking place in New Mexico. The instrumental would be a beautiful thing to show Eli killing someone.

The doors: End of the night. Pretty trippy song. Haha, "Some are born to sweet delight, some are born to the endless night"

Black Sabbath: Wicked world. Maybe include it in the part where Eli is in Oskar's mom's bathrobe. He does say in the book that it has been a while since he hung out with someone by hanging out in their house. I think this would be a cool song to play.



That's all I can think of for now. If the songs have to be from the 80's, well then, looks like my list is no good for the most part. Plus, those two little kids don't really look too retro. Not like Lina and Kare.

Except for the Sabbath. Black Sabbath is always appropriate.

I'm almost certain that Owen wouldn't listen to Genesis, but I think that 'Follow you, follow me' would work well over the closing credits, I think the lyrics fit very well with the story.

Stay with me,
My love I hope you'll always be
Right here by my side if ever I need you
Oh my love

I your arms,
I feel so safe and so secure
Every day is such a perfect day to spend
Alone with you

I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
just one single tear in each passing year

With the dark,
I see so very clearly now
All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now
Fading away

I can say,
The night is long but you are there
Close at hand the better for the smile you give
And while I live

I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
just one single tear in each passing year there will be

This will never happen, but I'll go with De/Vision's "Like The Sun", the same song song I used for the fan video I made last April. Below are the link to my video and the lyrics for the song.

I would die for you
You are my soul support
I don't lie to you
I will take all things you taught
I get high on you
You're the most befooling drug
And I sigh for you
I would never touch your luck

You don't flee
Keep me in view
You see me
Safely through
When the cold
Hurts my soul
You're like the sun

Want to fly with you
To a place we don't know
I will cry for you
When the time has come to go

How about the song they re-released with all the celebrities singing for Haiti? "Everybody Hurts", I think the original is by R.E.M.

[gattoparde59]

REM would make an interesting choice, they have other songs besides "Everybody Hurts" that might work.

If this is set in New Mexico, why not slip in Hank Williams somewhere.

Although my favorite version of this song is done by The Nields.

I'm So Lonesome I could Cry

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry

I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide its face and cry

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves began to die?
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry

[gattoparde59]

Kate Wolf, "Sweet Love." Not well known song, which makes it all the better.

Edit: That outfit makes her look like she is coming to check your IV.

SWEET LOVE

SWEET LOVE, DON'T DENY ME JUST A HAND TO HOLD;

I MAY NOT ALWAYS BE THE ONE WHO SEES.

I FIND MYSELF BLINDED FROM TIME TO TIME,

REACHING OUT FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN TAKE THE LEAD.

AND IN MY WEARINESS I'VE TRIED TO CRY

ALTHOUGH MY EYES ARE DRY, I'VE CRIED INSIDE.

SWEET LOVE, LET ME LAY MYSELF BESIDE YOU

AND LISTEN TO YOUR BREATHING 'TIL IT SLOWS

LONG ENOUGH TO DREAM A VISION OF MY LIFE

WRAPPED UP IN THE GENTLE WIND THAT BLOWS.

A VISION OF A LIFE LIVED LONG AGO--

I SEE IT, THOUGH THE LIGHTS ARE LOW.

SWEET LOVE, LIKE THE LEAVES THAT FALL

THE SCENES GO DRIFTING BY MY EYES.

AND I REMEMBER HOLDING YOU

TELLING YOU THAT IT WOULD BE ALL RIGHT

YOU KNOW THE ROAD LOOKED STRAIGHT AHEAD FROM FAR AWAY

BUT IT TURNED INTO A BLIND CURVE

AND I'VE LOST MY WAY TODAY.

Imagine Clint Mansell and Hans Zimmer teaming up to compose the score for Let Me In.

Except for the Sabbath. Black Sabbath is always appropriate.

I can't help it but my first thought reading you post was "Under the Sun"!

[Jiang_Shi]

Going on the 80's theme I would really like to hear some Depeche Mode used. I think they'd fit pretty well with the somber atmosphere.
