So after the release of the "Take me home, country roads" trailer featuring the John Denver song they have really stepped up the quality of this film, and I hope the song features in the actual movie. A good well known song that emotes to the film can make such a difference to how the viewer perceives and remembers the film. It adds another dimension and layer to the experience.

Think of Guns n' Roses "you could be mine" in T2, or Little Richards "Long tall sally" in Predator as excellent Sci-fi examples. Classic memorable films that portrayed the era of those films.

The perspective "Take me home" gives to the film is a feeling of melancholy, nostalgia (wheat fields) and homesickness. It is also builds on Ridley Scotts Truckers-in-space feel he was trying to portray in the original Alien, with the country vibe of the song.

What other songs do you all think would suit this film, and would like see featured in the movie???

Here are my top 4. I've tried to stick with classic bluesy/country/rock song.

 

1. If I ever leave this world alive - Flogging Molly (how fitting)

2. Walk all over you - AC/DC ( Aussie Rock m/ )

3. Rock n Roll - Led Zeppelin

4. Electric Worry - Clutch

Enhanced Reality is not something I would normally listen to, but musically and lyrically, I think it would work great for scifi, especially a scene meant to evoke emotion.

Something Real

DK - Do you like more fast-paced and driving music? Have you heard the song Stronger by Through Fire? It is very compelling! :)

Some good song choices there.

I know some may be bummed we have not got a Score like Prometheus especially Life but i am not sure it would fit in with he direction this movie is going.

Midnight- Coldplay

 

In the darkness before the dawn (First night on Paradise)
In the swirling of the storm
When I'm rolling with the punches, and hope is gone
Leave a light, a light on

Millions of miles from home 
In the swirling, swimming on
When I'm rolling with the thunder but bleed from thorns (Xeno Tail or Alien Teeth, Chestbuster, Maybe?)
Leave a light, a light on
Leave a light, a light on

Leave a light, a light on
Leave a light, a light on

In the darkness before the dawn
In the darkness before the dawn
Leave a light, a light on
Leave a light, a light on

Something Real Stronger is a decent song. Lots of good stuff out there but usually go for heaviness/aggressive stuff. It is not a very good fit for scifi like other songs posted.
