Cologne by incubus would make a pretty wild b-movie

Everything I Wanted - Billie Eilish

I feel like you could do a really dark Scrooge themed story from it.

Jacob’s dream: based on a true story of two kids who went missing.

The night the lights went out in Georgia: about a guy who gets lynched.

Ooh that would be super interesting

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Die Fantastischen Vier - Krieger could make an interesting piece or art piece.

It's German, here's the first lyrics translation weblink I found

Watsky, et al - Exquisite Corpse

For best results this should be cheesy B-movie as hell, the song really leans into it I think

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dude I don't think I've ever seen Watsky mentioned outside of his own comment sections. You a real one for that.

Love my guy, George.

Love my guy George. Listening to Cardboard Castles got me through a really rough time in my life and I don't expect to ever be able to repay it. Least I can do is to spread the word.

Each verse could be a chapter in a anthology movie, written and directed by different people

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's essentially how they wrote the song, so yeah! I can see it. I'd watch this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah I know, I think they shot the music video for it in a similar way, and a movie with a bigger budget could expand on that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Mmm... Cheesey...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Tool-Lost keys/Rosetta stoned. Maybe the stoner really did see something out in the desert.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Alrighty then... picture this if you will

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Several rush songs. 2112, Hemispheres, cygnus x-1

I always imagine All Along the Watchtower as a 1980's fantasy movie along the lines of Red Sonya or The Beastmaster.

The Mariner's Revenge by The Decemberists

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

That's a good one

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Rhapsody, the band all of their songs progressively tell an epic story that I would love to see in movie form.

Alternatively Nightfall in Middle-Earth from Blind Guardian, love the Silmarillion would love to see a movie about it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I wouldn't mind seeing what they could do with "East River Revolution" by District 7

I just don't know, man.

I think their songs would make for interesting comics, though!
