Music!

For our music we had two idea, one more complicated than the other.

firstly we wanted to use a piece of music written by bo bruce, called Fighting Arizona. Kennet showed this piece to me, and i instantly found a bond between it and our idea for our thriller opening. Looking at the lyrics of the song, and the way it was written, it seemed to fit perfectly. But permission was needed! so after Kennet emailing Bo Bruce and finding more information, it seemed to be that the music was unavailable to us. Following is a video of 'Fighting Arizona' and the lyrics too.


Here's to people slowly walking by,
Here's to you, you're back on the inside.
Fighting Arizona, all alone with just one arm
on your own.

Dance with the dragon, you chased him away.
You wrote me a letter, here's to all you say.
This is the end,
You can't climb further down,
Arizona's final round.

If you make it out alone,
I promise I will be there still.
I'll tell the world that my friend's coming home.
If you be my lost, my found,
Reject your door, reject your crown,
I swear, you'll never go back down,
You'll never go back down.

I write to this day, I will find you again,
The shame of your number, you are still my friend.

If you make it out alone,
I promise I will be there still.
I'll tell the world that my friend's coming home.
If you be my lost, my found,
Reject your door, reject your crown,
I swear, you'll never go back down,
You'll never go back down.

This is the last time,
He're's the last time,
For the last time you'll be on your own.

If you make it out alone,
I promise I will be there still.
I'll tell the world that my friend's coming home.
If you be my lost, my found,
Reject your door, reject your crown,
I swear, you'll never go back down,
You'll never go back down.

After unfortunately not being able to use 'fighting arizona' we started to look at websites that allowed you tow download, free music, that was not copyrighted. Usually from educational websites. We chose a piece called 'Rain Window' which can be found under this link.

It is a very in depth piece of music, which supports our opening in every possible status. Its eery feel is suitable for our opening and its almost perfect in terms of a piece of scored music (mainly piano) that shows the loneliness and neglection of our character.

  1. Some good comments on music choice. Again, you could link this decision to the conventions and other thrillers you have seen.
