Soundtrack for Nightcrawler
Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:21 pm
I think Me against the World by Simple Plan is a good song for Kurt and all the X-men.

See The Light is another example of Kurt losing touch, but more with the faithful and with his own self. But still trying to be hopeful, as he always is.
Can you hear the sound
of the static noise?
Blasting out in stereo.
Cater to the class and the paranoid.
Music to my nervous system
advertising love and religion.
Murder on the airwaves
slogans on the brink of corruption.
Vision of blasphemy, war, and peace, screaming at you!
I can't see a thing in the video
I can't hear a sound on the radio!
In stereo in the Static Age!
Billboard on the rise
in the dawn's landscape
working your insanity.
Tragic A'la madness and concrete
Coca-cola execution.
Conscious on a cross and your hearts in a vice.
Squeezing out your state of mind.
Are what you own that you cannot buy?
What a fucking tragedy, strategy!
Screaming at you!
Hey hey it's the Static age
this is how the west as won.
Hey hey, it's the static age millenium.
All i want to know is A God Damned Thing!
Not what's in the medicine!
All I want to do is,
I want to breathe.
Batteries are not included!
what's the latest way
That a man can die
screaming hallelujah?
Singing out "The Dawn's Early Light"
The silence of the rotten, forgotten
Screaming at you.
I can't see a thing in the video-
I can't hear a sound on the Radio,
in stereo. Oh, in the Static Age!
Both very out of character for Goofy Kurt who we see most frequently, but I feel on his darkest days, what we aren't seeing now as he gets stabbity stabbed, this is something he'd relate to. Maybe.I crossed the river
fell into the sea
Where the non-believers, go beyond belief.
Then I scratched the surface in the Mouth of Hell
Running out of service,
in the blood I fell.
I just want to see the light
I don't want to lose my sight.
I just want to see the light.
I need to know, what's worth the fight?
I've been wasted-
pills and alcohol
I've been chasing down the pool halls.
I drank the water, from a hurricane
I set a fire just to see the flame.
I crossed the desert reaching higher ground.
Then I pound the pavement
to take the liars down.
But it's gone forever, but never too late.
Where the ever after is in the hands of fate...
The Vh1 Storytellers version is a tremendous performance of this song. He clearly and poetically explains the lyrics, it's really quite a beautiful song without the electric fuzz and poor aged static of cheap video recording. Hopefully the lyrics get the point across quite nicely...Can't see nothin' in front of me
Can't see nothin' coming up behind
I make my way through this darkness
I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me
Lost track of how far I've gone
How far I've gone, how high I've climbed
On my back's a sixty pound stone
On my shoulder a half mile line
Come on up for the rising
Com on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Left the house this morning
Bells ringing filled the air
Wearin' the cross of my calling
On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li
Spirits above and behind me
Faces gone, black eyes burnin' bright
May their precious blood forever bind me
Lord as I stand before your fiery light
Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li
I see you Mary in the garden
In the garden of a thousand sighs
There's holy pictures of our children
Dancin' in a sky filled with light
May I feel your arms around me
May I feel your blood mix with mine
A dream of life comes to me
Like a catfish dancin' on the end of the line
Sky of blackness and sorrow (a dream of life)
Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life)
Sky of glory and sadness (a dream of life)
Sky of mercy, sky of fear (a dream of life)
Sky of memory and shadow (a dream of life)
Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life (a dream of life)
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li, Li
Isn't it strange
How we move our lives for another day
Like skipping a beat
What if a great wave should wash us all away
Just thinking out loud
Don't mean to dwell on this dying thing
But looking at blood
It's alive right now
Deep and sweet within
Pouring through our veins
Intoxicate moving wine to tears
Drinking it deep
Then an evening spent dancing
It's you and me
This love will open our world
From the dark side we can see a glow of something bright
There's much more than we see here
Don't burn the day away
Is this not enough
This blessed sip of life
Is it not enough
Staring down at the ground
Oh then complain and pray more from above
Greedy little pig
Stop just watch your world trickle away
Oh it's your problem now
It'll all be dead and gone in a few short years
Just love will open our eyes
Just love will put the hope in our minds
Much more than we could ever know
Don't burn the day away
Come sister my brother
Shake up your bones shake up your feet
I'm saying open up
And let the rain come pouring in
Wash out this tired notion
That the best is yet to come
But while you're dancing on the ground
Don't think of when you're gone
Love love what more is there
We need the light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There are bad times
But that's ok
Just look for love in it
Don't burn the day away
Look
Here are we
On this starry night staring into space
And I must say
I feel as small as dust
Lying down here
What point could there be troubling
Head down wondering what will become of me
Why concern we cannot see
But no reason to abandon it
Time is short but that's all right
Maybe I'll go in the middle of the night
Take your hands from your eyes, my love
Everything must end some time
Don't burn the day away
Come sister my brother
Shake up your bones shake up your feet
I'm saying open up
And let the rain come flooding in
Wash out this tired notion
That the best is yet to come
But while you're dancing on the ground
Don't think of when you're gone
Love love what more is there
We need the light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There are bad times
But that's ok
Just look for love in it
