Music from the Motion Picture - The Covenant II: The Ipswich Curse:
-
Track 1: Question – System of a Down
Why: It turned out to be the theme song for the story, since it was used in the 'trailer'.
Relevant lyrics: "Do we, do we know, when we fly… when we, when we go, do we die?"
Track 2: The Pot – Tool
Why: It's got a great riff that makes me imagine some rad fighting scenes.
Relevant lyrics: "You must have been high…" and "Burn the evidence down…"
Track 3: Schizophreniac – Earthsuit
Why: The boys are all a little crazy. The song suits them.
Relevant lyrics: "I stress in the realm of the mental…"
Track 4: Too Little, Too Late – JoJo
Why: An Elle song, all the way. The scene with Reid and her outside Nicky's was actually based on this song.
Relevant lyrics: "Take my hand, you've say you've changed, but boy you're beggin' don't fool me (you know it's just too little too late)…" and "You know all the right things to say… but you don't like me, you just like the chase…" and "With a player like you, I don't have a prayer…"
Track 5: Inertiatic ESP – The Mars Volta
Why: A good song for when they get exposed.
Relevant lyrics: "Now I'm lost…" and "Where wolves hide in the company of men…"
Track 6: Whisper – Evanescence
Why: I was reluctant to put in an Evanescence song, since I find them to be trendy and a bit cliché, but the theme in this song fit the Covenant so perfectly, I couldn't ignore it.
Relevant lyrics: "I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away…" and "This truth drives me to madness…"
Track 7: Alive With the Glory of Love – Say Anything
Why: This song seems like it's entered Reid's mind. I love this song, and I think of him every time I hear it.
Relevant lyrics: "When I watch you, wanna do you, right where you're standing, right on the foyer, on this dark day, right in plain view…" and "You're lovely baby, this war is crazy, I won't let you down…"
Track 8: Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off – Panic! At the Disco
Why: Though it sucks to say this, this is a Tyler song. Getting his girl stolen, wishing he still had her, etc. And I just like this one.
Relevant lyrics: "Testosterone boys and Harlequin girls…" and "Then think of what you did, and how I hope to God he was worth it…"
Track 9: Delicate - Damien Rice
Why: For any alone romantic scenes between Reid and Elle.
Relevant lyrics: "We might kiss, when we are alone, when nobody's watching, I might take it home…"
Track 10: Goodbye – Plankeye
Why: One of the saddest songs ever written. I found it perfect for the scene of Reid's death when the boys were prying Elle away from his body… or when they were putting the sheet over Evelyn Danvers… or when they spot Reid's mother at the graduation… sniff.
Relevant lyrics: "It's difficult to say goodbye after only one life…" and "I never took the time, to stop and realize, that death takes many forms, even while alive…"
Track 11: It's Been a While – Staind (edited version)
Why: The epitome of the Covenant's views on life and love, but mostly Caleb's or Reid's view, I think. Perhaps that's only because Reid's my favorite. You decide.
Relevant lyrics: "It's been a while since I could say that I wasn't addicted…" and "I cannot blame this on my father…"
