DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #4: “Telling Ghosts” by Puscifer

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #5: “Telling Ghosts” by Puscifer

Telling Ghosts

The more you take, the more you need

The more you suck, the more you bleed

The dead know better, so listen to the letter

The more you suck, the more you bleed

Echoes and specters and ghosts of none the wiser

Apparitions each, bad decisions brush on by

Envious in the ever after

Electric fuzzy haze of regrets and dreams denied

The paramount and pompous disregard the cipher

Ignorant the gluttons, and the media rush on by these

Messages from the ever after

Dead letter authors’ deliverance denied

The more you take the more you need

The more you suck the more you bleed

The dead know better so listen to the letter

The more you suck the more you bleed

Echoes and specters and ghosts of none the wiser

Apparitions each and bad decisions brush on by

Envious in the ever after

Electric fuzzy haze of regrets and dreams denied

The more you take, the more you need

The more you suck, the more you bleed

The dead know better, so listen to the letter

The more you suck, the more you bleed

I was so proud to see that Rob’s Reavers looooove Puscifer! There were so many Puscifer suggestions, it was really tough to choose only one! So I went with the one off their latest album – because… come on, check out those lyrics. SO. PERFECT. And I could replay this song over and over again. -Jayda

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #5: “The Beginning is The End is The Beginning” by Smashing Pumpkins

The Beginning is The End is The Beginning

Send a heartbeat to

The void that cries through you

Relive the pictures that have come to pass

For now we stand alone

The world is lost and blown

And we are flesh and blood disintegrate

With no more to hate

Is it bright where you are

Have the people changed

Does it make you happy you’re so strange

And in your darkest hour

I hold secrets flame

We can watch the world devoured in it’s pain

Delivered from the blast

The last of a line of lasts

The pale princess of a palace cracked

And now the kingdom comes

Crashing down undone

And I am a master of a nothing place

Of recoil and grace

Is it bright where you are

Have the people changed

Does it make you happy you’re so strange

And in your darkest hour

I hold secrets flame

We can watch the world devoured in it’s pain

Time has stopped before us

The sky cannot ignore us

No one can separate us

For we are all that is left

The echo bounces off me

The shadow lost beside me

There’s no more need to pretend

Cause now I can begin again

Is it bright where you are

Have the people changed

Does it make you happy you’re so strange

And in your darkest hour

I hold secrets flame

We can watch the world devoured in it’s pain

Strange

Strange

Strange

I chose The Watchmen Official Trailer to play this song, because I remember how chill-inducing it was in the theater to experience this song along with the visuals. DEFINITELY perfect for Cal’s world.

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #6: "Bullet in My Hand" by Redlight King

Bullet in My Hand

I've got a fast life and

A slow cuttin' knife

I've been drinkin' at a poisoned well

No home and a bag of bones

And nothin' else left to sell

I know why I'm in this hell

I just don't wanna believe

Past that line you just can't tell

But right now

There's someone lookin' out for me

I came out of the darkness

With a bullet in my hand

I got one more shot at livin'

I'm lucky that I can

Cause I got a little roughed up

Yeah I really got fucked up

I came out of the darkness

With a bullet in my hand

I got a cold stare, the wound's still there

But there ain't much left to bleed

A short fuse that I still use

I'm my own worst enemy

Stare at the faces I once knew lined up just to bury me

There's a long black car that's waitin' to leave

But right now

There's someone looking out for me

I came out of the darkness

With a bullet in my hand

I got one more shot at livin'

I'm lucky that I can

Cause I got a little roughed up

Yeah I really got fucked up

I came out of the darkness

With a bullet in my hand

Cause I got a little roughed up

With a bullet in my hand

Yeah I really got fucked up

With a bullet in my hand

Can you see the light?

Can you see the light?

Can you see the light?

I can see the light

I can see the light

Cal and GRIMM's theme song?

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #7: "Pet" by A Perfect Circle

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #7:

Pet

Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window

Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child

I won't let the boogeyman come

Counting bodies like sheep

To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble

Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep

To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind what other voices say

They don't care about you, like I do, like I do

Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,

See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do.

Just stay with me, safe and ignorant,

Go back to sleep

Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child

I won't let the boogeyman come

Count the bodies like sheep

To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble

Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

I'll be the one to protect you from

Your enemies and all your demons

I'll be the one to protect you from

A will to survive and a voice of reason

I'll be the one to protect you from

Your enemies and your choices son

They're one in the same

I must isolate you

Isolate and save you from yourself

Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order and

Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drum

The boogeymen are coming

The boogeymen are coming

Keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of a war drum

Stay with me

Safe and ignorant

Just stay with me

Hold you and protect you from the other one

The evil ones

Don't love you son,

Go back to sleep

GOTTA have an A Perfect Circle song in the mix – it is MANDATORY! "Pet" would be Niko's song to Cal.

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #8: "U.R.A Fever" by The Kills (Goodfellow's Theme)

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #8:

U.R.A Fever

Walk you to the counter

what you got to offer

pick you out a soda

look at you forever

walk you to the water

eyes like a casino

you ain't born typical

find a piece of silver

pretty as a diagram

go down to the Rio

put it in my left hand

put it in a fruit machine

everyone's a winner

laughing like a seagull

you are a fever, you are a fever

you ain't born typical

you are a fever, you are a fever

you ain't born typical

living in a suitcase

meet a clown and fall in love

been dying to have you over

clown around and brake up

take you to a jukebox

that's the situation

pick you out a number

that's our arrangement

dancing on the legs of a new born pony

left right left right, keep it up son

go ahead and have her, go ahead and leave her

you only ever had her when you were a fever

i am a fever, i am a fever

i ain't born typical

i am a fever, i am a fever

i ain't born typical

we are a fever, we are a fever

we ain't born typical

we are a fever, we are a fever

we ain't born typical

And this, my friends, is what I call MILF: Music I'd Like to F***. So naturally, we would like to deem this as Robin Goodfellow's Theme Song. -Jayda

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #9: "Gone Away" by The Offspring

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #9:

Gone Away

Maybe in another life

I could find you there

Pulled away before your time

I can't deal it's so unfair

And it feels

And it feels like

Heaven's so far away

And it feels

Yeah it feels like

The world has grown cold

Now that you've gone away

Leaving flowers on your grave

Show that I still care

But black roses and Hail Mary's

Can't bring back what's taken from me

I reach to the sky

And call out your name

And if I could trade

I would

And it feels

And it feels like

Heaven's so far away

And it stings

Yeah it stings now

The world is so cold

Now that you've gone away

This 90′s classic is my favorite Offspring song and one of Rob's picks. And oh man, talk about conjuring up memories of a very interesting time in *my* life… -Jayda

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #10: "Blood Is Thicker Than Water" by Black Label Society

Blood is Thicker Than Water

Here comes the rain

Another day, another storm

I've been down, down, down

For oh, so long

I'll walk this mile

And I'll ask no quarter

For in the end

Blood is thicker than water

They try to break me but I refuse to die

They try to break me but I refuse to cry

Here comes the rain

And I'll ask no quarter

For in the end

Blood is thicker than water

This is DOUBLETAKE's tagline, so it's a MUST, don't you think?

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #11: "Blow Me Away" by Breaking Benjamin [Featuring Valora]

DOUBLETAKE Soundtrack #11:

Blow Me Away

They fall in line

One at a time

Ready to play

(I can't see them anyway)

No time to lose

We've got to move

Steady your helm

(I am losing sight again)

[Bridge:]

Fire your guns

It's time to run

Blow me away

(I will stay, in the mess I made)

After the fall

We'll shake it off

Show me the way

[Chorus:]

Only the strongest will survive

Lead me to heaven, when we die

I am the shadow on the wall

I'll be the one to save us all

There's nothing left

So save your breath

Lying in wait

(Caught inside this tidal wave)

Your cover's blown

No where to go

Holding your fate

(Loaded I will walk alone)

[Bridge:]

Fire your guns

It's time to run

Blow me away

(I will stay, in the mess I made)

After the fall

We'll shake it off

Show me the way

[Chorus:]

Only the strongest will survive

Lead me to heaven, when we die

I am the shadow on the wall

I'll be the one to save us all

Wanted it back

(Don't fight me now)

[Chorus]

Video and song KICK ASS. This song was on the soundtrack for HALO. Valora sounds SOOOO much like Amy Lee, doesn't she?
