Hey guys I'm looking for a song or instrumental that starts off calm for a few seconds and then gets crazy! Its for a scene for where all of a sudden you have to run for your life. Something kinda like this
The Offspring Cover - Half-Truism (Instrumental)
Figured I'd come here see what you guys think.
Cheers

Looking for Beautiful Misanthropic Music
I tried to do a search but, nothing really comes up.
Now when I say beautiful, I really mean "pretty" or "easy/non-harsh" music and by misanthropic, I do not mean it has to be lyrically written in a way as "people suck, blah blah blah".
I have only two examples of what I am talking about; the first would be the live KEXP performance of CocoRosie - "Fairy Paradise".
Quote:
He draws near the periphery
In disbelief on delivery
Came child from the deep inferno
Crusty head of dead volcano
Heartless crow with brittle beak
Wooden leg too schocked to speak
Lilac dust of a woman's hair
A wooden cross a paper prayer
A stone where her body lay
A stack of feathers a pile of hay
A mushroom for an eye ball
A mustache from the snow fall
Worms weave a ring where fairies square dance
Queens and kings fairies weave wigs with eyelash
Trance music makes the fairies dance
From the caves of snail shells
Echoes the mutter medieval spells
Mystery flows her wicked river
Of thorn and blade and silver sliver
Bending 'round the clover fields
Their sapling stems don't break but yield
Her pain inflicts no arguments
Must learn to sway and un-arrange
As earth she makes her final passage
After humans long have ravaged
Vanished with all maps for motion
Upward angels last devotion
One by one escort us home
To leave the elementals free to roam
To bathe in the last of ocean's foam
To beach comb the nuclear debris
Our plastic toys and our metal trees
On the perfect day you'll find the breeze
Once blew the pollen the feet of bees
Now cry the stars when upon the earth
Their gaze might rest a nostalgic burst
A lament be heard through all the cosmos
Of the dying planet with fallen foes
The other example I have is less misanthropic; Faun - „Zeitgeist”. The lyrics [translated to English by me]:
Quote:
The wheel keeps turning
But everything is still
In the darkness we attempt
To understand the light.
Do not worry and
Fear only what you
Don't understand
The wheel keeps turning
But everything is still
We close our eyes
As if we do not see
The old world sinks
In a sea... of ideas
Where do we want to go
Where are we now
We've slept too deep
To be able to rest more
One more thing we want
When everything changes
One more thing we want
is to find ourselves again
Try Cracked Alice, ballsy and in your face
find them on Reverbnation or Facebook.

Hey everyone!
I'm very new to this forum and this is my first ever post!
My question: Simply, do you know songs that sound almost the same like Nico Vega - Beast? It's hard for me to find good quality songs. So, can you help?
Feaver
I enjoy vocalists like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, and Jazmine Sullivan. So none of there albums please cause I already have most of them, but any suggestions?
