Can you recommend a song to me?

[KIMIMELA 1]

I am constructing an Animal Rights campaign as part as my documentary project at college. I was wondering if anyone can recommend any sad songs I could play to it, as quicktime or an mp3.

 

I was thinking of the 'My heart will go on' song on the Titanic. Any other suggestions?

 

My campaign will only be 2-3 minutes long and I may even be allowed to show you guys after. (Probably by e-mail).

What's the theme that you are looking for? When I had to put my 17 year old dog to sleep I made a video using the song "One More Day" but that may not fit the theme you want to use.

It is a campaign to stop people being cruel to animals. Mostly cruelty in general. I'd like something that represents the sadness and pain. I'm going to use my teddies as 'actors' and 'interviewees'. (I'm going to put voice overs on). I might use some photographs and facts and I'm looking for sad music, like what you've mentioned. I was just wondering if you know anywhere I can download the song?

I suggest....."Dead Skunk In The Middle Of The Road".......a 1970s classic!

There was a song back in the 70's

about a girl loosing her horse in a snowstorm

and dying looking for it

Think the name of the song was Wildfire

Shows the feelings people have for there pets.

Also a song about a dog who drowned and how

distraut his owner was. Think it was called Shannon.

Wow we had some depressing songs in the 70's

[TransporterMalfunction 1]

I think that the song "Born Free" is fantastic and has been used so effectively in animal rights campaigns before. I don't think it is necessarily a sad song but when considered with issues relating to animal rights can be ironic, and in turn sad.

[KIMIMELA 1]

If you watch this, it is going to be similar to what I am going to do. Cruel Zoo

[youbroughtheryouRiker 2]

It's a song that drags on for way too long, but it seems the one you want is "Old Shep." Elvis did a version of it early in his career. I personally don't care much for it, but as far as animals having feelings and all, right up your alley.

"Me And You And A Dog Named Boo" by Lobo.

Sir Paul McCartney is huge into animal rights.He and his wife both.

His website may have something.I'm not sure,though.

 

Good luck on your project.

I'm all for stopping animal cruelty myself.I love animals.

Thank you. One student last year did a campaign about dogs in hot cars. He filmed a chocolate dog being melted in the microwave. .

"Shannon is falling away, he's drifting off to sea........."

 

I remember that song, made me cry, especially "maybe he'll find another, with a shady tree"

 

 

And the horse was Wildfire.

 

"She ran calling Wildfire"

 

 

Shannon is an unusual and I think more emotional song.

Great! I'll use that. I don't know where to download the mp3 though... I've searched my mp3 iTunes but can't find it. I'll put it on my mp3 player.

 

Can you help me find it?

Hhmmm... hhhmmm... *looks at recommendations* ....I'm really stuck. I have pre-production lessons tommorow, so I'll see what my lecturer says. Thanks a lot guys, you are helpful!

[Madame Butterfly 0]

Cara, I'm sorry, I've not been able to locate who sang that song for you.

[KIMIMELA 1]

That is absolutely fine, I do not mind. Thank you anyway.

 

My friend recommended "What my heart wants to say" by Gareth Gates. I was a huge GG fan, so I'll see if I can use that. I have it on my CD.

[youbroughtheryouRiker 2]

"Shannon" was by the songwriter Henry Gross. He sang it.

 

Still recommend "Old Shep".

 

Sir Paul, to date, has not released any animal rights' music, to my knowledge.

 

How about "Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron?

[youbroughtheryouRiker 2]

Sorry, double post.

 

Anyways, "Born Free" might be another option.

Yes it was, it is one of my sister's favorite songs... though it makes her cry quite a lot. Wildfire is and has always been quite a moving song, IMO. It is by Michael Martin Murphey

November Rain - by GNR

 

Who want to live forever - by.... er.... was it Queen??

[SpaceHippie 0]

I can think of 2 songs by PETA suporter Paul McCartney :

"Wildlife" (from the Wings CD "Wildlife")

 

 

While take a walk thru an African park one day,

I saw a sign say, "The animals have the right of way".

 

Wild life, whatever happened to,

Wild life, the animals in the zoo?

 

We're breathing a lot,

a lot of political nonsense in the air.

 

You're making it hard for the people who live in there.

You're moving so fast, but, baby, you know not where.

Wild life, (wild life), what's gonna happen to

Wild life, (wild life), the animals in the zoo?

 

You'd better stop, there's animals ev'rywhere,

And man is the top, an animal too,

And, man, you just got to care.

 

Wild life, what's gonna happen to,

Wild life, the animals in the zoo?

 

You're breathing a lot of polical nonsense in the air.

 

Wild life, (wild life), what's gonna happen to

(what's gonna happen to) (what's gonna happen to)

Wild life, (wild life), the animals in the zoo?

(what's gonna happen to) (what's gonna happen to)

Wild life, what ever happened to?

What ever happened to?

 

 

"Looking For Changes" (from the McCartney CD "Off The Ground"

 

I Saw A Cat With A Machine In His Brain

The Man Who Fed Him Said

He Didn't Feel Any Pain

I'd Like To See That Man Take Out That Machine

And Stick It In His Own Brain

You Know What I Mean

I Saw A Rabbit With Its Eyes Full Of Tears

The Lab That Owned Her Had

Been Doing It For Years

Why Don't We Make Them Pay For Every Last Eye

That Couldn't Cry Its Own Tears

Do You Kmow What I Mean

 

When I Tell You That We'll All Be

Looking For Changes

Changes In The Way We Treat Our Fellow Creatures

And We Will Learn How To Grow

 

Well I Tell You That We'll All Be

Looking For Changes

Changes In The Way We Treat Our Fellow Creatures

And We Will Learn How To Grow

When We're Looking For Changes

 

I Saw A Monkey That Was Learning To Choke

A Guy Beside Him Gave Him Cigarettes To Smoke

And Everytime That Monkey Started To Cough

The Bastard Laughed His Head Off

Do You Know What I Mean

 

When I Tell You That We'll All Be

Looking For Changes

Changes In The Way We Treat Our Fellow Creatures

And We Will Learn How To Grow

 

When We're Looking For Changes

We're Looking For Changes

We're Looking For Changes
