Our first project (buster389 is in my group as well) is to make a public service announcement.

We chose how cocaine is bad, and the basic story of our PSA is this

-a guy goes to buy coke from his dealer
-guy walks off, goes home
-starts preparing coke (credit card, making the line, etc)
-shot behind his head of him snorting coke
-convulses, and dies
-shows him walking to a grave and falling down in it

the message at the end will say "don't blow it"

We need a song for the part where he is preparing the coke and snorting it, can't be any more than 30 seconds long. We were thinking "Cocaine" by Eric Clapton, but I was looking for more of a renegade, don't give a fuck, type thing, with a faster tempo.

For the part where he walks into the grave, we were thinking "Lie In Our Graves" by Dave Matthews Band, but are open to other suggestions.

Not bad, anything with a bit of an angrier sound?

Edit it doesn't have to be about cocaine either.

Heard it before, not really what we're looking for, more of a rock song.

Reserved for suggestions that don't suck.

That sounds like a depressing scenario, IMO, so go for that.

Why do you need music?

Just do it Requiem style

make the sounds really intense and loud (crinkle of money, hitting of credit card against table ...kinda that slow mo BOOOM sound with a close up...hard loud sniff, then camera DIRECTLY over convulsing body with bloody nose (like...get on a ladder to do this), and pan or zoom up and fade to "don't blow it"


If you need music, the Requiem for a Dream theme song would work, with the main melody coming in right during the convulsion.

Yeah I was thinking Requiem For a Dream's "Lux Aeterna" at the end when he walks into the grave.
