Although we worry that the lyrics are a tad cliched in relation to our concept. However our main focus isn't the lyrics as we really like the piano and the bass in the backing track. The piano starts off a bit abruptly so we were thinking of asking someone to compose a piano solo to add on to the beginning of the track with softer tones to gently introduce the opening sequence.
When focusing on the music, we also looked at some other options that we felt reflected the tone of our film. We particularly liked material from alt-J...
Here's a review from Tom Howard at NME...
"In which the ultimate Devendra Banhart soundalikes roll on with ‘Tessellate’, the most Devendra Banhart of all Alt-J songs. Doesn’t matter though, ’cos its piano lollop is as pleasingly creepy as all their other stuff, helped by the superbly delivered line, “And all your friends come… (breathes in deeply and heavily through nose) …sniffing”. "
We like the mellow tones that the track starts off with and how it slowly builds creating an atmosphere before it introduces the lyrics half way through. There aren't many lyrics which is perfect for our situation as we want the main focus to be on the action that is taking place. It also reflects the melancholy emotions that we are wishing to portray.
Another Artist that we have taken a liking to is Ben Howard. His song 'Oats In The Water' is a particular favourite of ours as we love the effect it creates when listening to it. However when applied to the footage, we're afraid that it may come across as if it's a music video for the song which is exactly what we want to stay away from.
It's going to be very hard to decide what track to use as they are all in some way suitable and we also want to put our own spin on the tracks to make them unique and tailored to our opening sequence.
