Songs for Video.

Jama · Guest

What are some good songs for amateur videos? Here are some I think would be pretty good.

Kings of Leon - Pistol of Fire
Dave Matthews -Two Step
The White Stripes - "I'm bound to pack it up" & "Hello Operator"
The Roots- The Seed (2.0)
Ben Harper- Better Way
Gorillaz- White Light
Radiohead- Idioteque (my favorite pick of all time)

Jama, You can make almost any song work in a video. One thing i DO NOT reccomend is screaming rock etc. Don't get me wrong i think that music is cool, just not for videos. Try to find something that's unique. Anything with a cool beat or laid back style is what i like to use.

If you like Radiohead check out the band Luxery, they are amazing.

A few others to check out: Havalina Rail Company, Cool Hand Luke, Aaron Sprinkle, Starflyer 59, Unwed Salior, Shipping News, Sufjan Stevens (all christain).

Minus the Bear, Iron and Wine, Fugazi, Elliot Smith, Mates of State, Deathcab, Chin up chin up, The Postal Service (of course), Bloc Party, Kind of like spitting, The Arcade Fire, Joan of Arc...

Theres so many but you'll have to find songs you like yourself.

Well..he's a Christian that sings music.. he dosen't always speak directly of his faith to much but he gives out little hints, if it's a big deal I'll switch the paragraph for you.

If you don't believe me do some research.
