Got a song you think would make the perfect LNC video? Want to challenge vidders to make a video - for example on a particular theme or focused on a particular character?
Then post your request/challenge here, so that vidders looking for inspiration for their next project might get some ideas.

Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly. Aramis: Yes, sorry. Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
I've been looking around a bit, trying to find out if anybody has made a music video for Five for Fighting's "The Riddle." I love the song, and it seems pretty conducive to Lois and Clark.
Anybody?

I'll jump in and reiterate that I'd love to see a video done to Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Featuring all our mischievous lady villains - and Lois, too, of course!

Hi there, I'm new, but I've been perusing these boards for a while and I have a song that I'd love to see a video done to - but unfortunately I don't have the programmes on my computer to make one myself.
The song is Josh Groban's 'In Her Eyes'. It's off his latest album, and ever since I first heard it, I thought how perfect it'd be for something to do with L&C. Little did I know at that point in time that this part of these boards existed! I've really been enjoying all the videos, trailers etc on this section. They're all so well done. Keep up the great work everyone!

Lois: Jimmy, give me back my dress. Clark: Now there's something you don't hear around the newsroom everyday.
"There she goes, There she goes again, Racing through my brain...."
I suggested it once when I was asking for the trailer to Just Thinkin', because it reminded me how Lois was always on Clark's mind. My volunteer picked something better, but I still think the Sixpence song would make a good video if you go along with the words.
"Chasing down my Lane,... When you call my name, pull my train, no one else can ease my pain"

I have a song from Garth Brooks on cd ''she's every woman''. I love that song and it made me thinking of Lois and Clark. I thought it was just such a perfect song for them, that is was something Clark could be thinking of Lois. I'm pretty sure this song hasn't been used befor. And it would be nice if someone could make a Lois and Clark video out of it. Because I really don't know how to do it. I don't have a program for it or anything. So if anybody want to this Thank you!!
"I have no regrets. If you regret things, then you're sort of stepping backwards. I'm a believer in going forwards." ~Kate Winslet
I just heard Jesse McCartney's new single on the Disney Channel and it's perfect lyrics-wise for the time when Lois is going to marry Lex etc.
I shouldn't love you but I want to I just can't turn away I shouldn't see you but I can't move I can't look away
I shouldn't love you but I want to I just can't turn away I shouldn't see you but I can't move I can't look away
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not 'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop
Just so you know This feeling's taking control of me And I can't help it I won't sit around, I can't let him win now Thought you should know I've tried my best to let go of you But I don't want to I just gotta say it all Before I go Just so you know
It's getting hard to be around you There's so much I can't say Do you want me to hide the feelings And look the other way
Etc etc etc...
Hmm...maybe I'll have to get the song myself and make it myself... We'll see. But if anyone else wants to try it, go ahead.

Oh dear!
I'd already heard this song and thought how perrrrfect it would be for LnC! Of course, knowing me, it wouldn't get started until this time next year... But I can try!
Mmm cheese.
I vid, therefor I am.

Yes, please do! I was the one who made the request, but I doubt I'll get round to doing it myself, plus I can't seem to get my third season DVDs to encode properly on my computer...
Plus I'm busy working on another MV using the other song I requested...I managed to find it!
So please make it...please?

I'm told this is the best place to post a suggestion. If you're looking for a new project, let me propose--- Smallville Style to Taylor Swift's "Teardrops on my Guitar".
Smallville Style's Lana was based on Jane Sibbett. I thought that was who played Lana, but after watching again it isn't. Still, that's who I always thought of. Jane Sibbett was Ross' ex-wife on "Friends", also was in "Au Pair" http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0796235/
Anyway, just a thought I had listening to the song. It is way beyond my ability to make a music video/trailer, but I enjoy watching them. Sometimes I cannot figure out which episdoe a clip comes from and that makes it really neat.
You guys are really talented! Two thumbs up
Teardrops On My Guitar lyrics as sung by Taylor Swift
Drew (Clark) looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about And she's got everything that I have to live without
Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny That I can't even see anyone when he's with me He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right, I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
[Chorus:]
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe? And there he goes, so perfectly, The kind of flawless I wish I could be She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause
[Repeat Chorus]
So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light I'll put his picture down and maybe Get some sleep tonight
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do He's the time taken up, but there's never enough And he's all that I need to fall into..
Just thought I'd add in my two cents that I think the song
"Let Love In" by the Goo Goo Dolls would make for an excellent Lois and Clark video. It really fits them both I believe... let me see if I can go hunt down some lyrics.
You wait, wanting this world To let you in And you stand there A frozen light In dark and empty streets and You smile hiding behind A God-given face But I know you're so much more Everything they ignore Is all I need to see
You're the only one I ever believed in The answer that could never be found The moment you decided to let love in Now I'm banging on the door of an angel The end of fear is where we begin The moment we decided to let love in
I wish Wishing for you to find your way And I'll hold on for all you need That's all we need to say I'll take my chances while You take your time with This game you play But I can't control your soul You need to let me know You leaving or you gonna stay
You're the only one I ever believed in The answer that could never be found The moment you decided to let love in Now I'm banging on the door of an angel The end of fear is where we begin The moment we decided to let love in
There's nothing we can do about The things we have to do without The only way to feel again Is let love in
There's nothing we can do about The things we have to live without The only way to see again Is let love in
You're the only one I ever believed in The answer that could never be found The moment you decided to let love in Now I'm banging on the door of an angel The end of fear is where we begin The moment we decided to let love in
"I can’t stand to fly I’m not that naive I’m just out to find The better part of me
I’m more than a bird...i’m more than a plane More than some pretty face beside a train It’s not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry Fall upon my knees Find a way to lie About a home I’ll never see
It may sound absurd...but don’t be naive Even heroes have the right to bleed I may be disturbed...but won’t you concede Even heroes have the right to dream It’s not easy to be me
Up, up and away...away from me It’s all right...you can all sleep sound tonight I’m not crazy...or anything...
I can’t stand to fly I’m not that naive Men weren’t meant to ride With clouds between their knees
I’m only a man in a silly red sheet Digging for kryptonite on this one way street Only a man in a funny red sheet Looking for special things inside of me Inside of me Inside me Yeah, inside me Inside of me
I’m only a man In a funny red sheet I’m only a man Looking for a dream
I’m only a man In a funny red sheet And it’s not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...
Its not easy to be me"

It's like all we do is advance their plots. Perry: To tell you the truth, I'm sick of it. Jimmy: Man, me too!
Ooooh this was actually the first song I vidded for LnC!
If you're interested, here is the original post for it...
And I think there's also one in FoLC Videos, but I could be wrong...
Mmm cheese.

Voodoo Child by Rogue Traders (the tune that was played towards the end of the penultimate episode of Dr. Who S3) might be a fun one for a vid based on the magical / mystical side of the show:
Oh, and "Another One Bites the Dust" for e.g. That Old Gang Of Mine, and Who Wants To Live Forever for the episode in which Lois and Clark worry about their lifespans (forget the title)
Would someone like to make that one for me? Please? *bats eyelashes*

ok so since I have no clue on how to make a LNC music video I thought I'd throw this idea out to you all gifted video makers lol. but I heard a song by Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris called 'this is us' and I was wondering if anyone would like to make an LnC vid using that song here are the lyrics:
I was thinking, with all the bad father/daughter or father/son relationships in the show (Lois&dad, Jimmy&dad, Perry&son, Lex&son), maybe Emotionless from Good Charlotte:
Hey dad Im writing to you Not to tell you, that I still hate you Just to ask you how you feel And how we fell apart how this fell apart
Are you happy out there in this great wide world? Do you think about your sons? Do you miss your little girl? When you lay your head down how do you sleep at night? Do you even wonder if were all right?
Were alright Were alright
Its been a long hard road without you by my side Why werent you there all the nights that we cried? You broke my mothers heart, you broke your children for life Its not ok but were alright I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes But those were just a long lost memory of mine I spent so many years learning how to survive Now Im writing just to let you know that Im still alive
The days I spent so cold, so hungry, were full of hate I was so angry, the scars run deep inside this tattooed body Theres things Ill take to my grave, but Im ok, Im ok
Its been a long hard road without you by my side Why werent you there all the nights that we cried? You broke my mothers heart, you broke your children for life Its not ok but were alright I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes But those were just a long lost memory of mine I spent so many years learning how to survive Now Im writing just to let you know that Im still alive
And sometimes I forgive, yeah and this time Ill admit That I miss you, said I miss you
Its been a long hard road without you by my side Why werent you there all the nights that we cried? You broke my mothers heart, you broke your children for life Its not ok but were alright I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes But those were just a long lost memory of mine I spent so many years learning how to survive Now Im writing just to let you know that Im still alive
And sometimes I forgive, yeah and this time Ill admit That I miss you, said I miss you...hey dad
I just love the lyrics to this song, they're really well written
Oooooh I came past You'll be in my heart from Phil Collins, and it just sort of came to me that this would be a perfect LnC song;
Come stop your crying, it will be all right Just take my hand, hold it tight I will protect you from all around you I will be here dont you cry
For one so small,you seem so strong My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm This bond between us cant be broken I will be here dont you cry
And youll be in my heart Yes, youll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more Youll be in my heart No matter what they say Youll be here in my heart Always
Why cant they understand the way we feel They just dont trust what they cant explain I know were different but deep inside us Were not that different at all
And youll be in my heart Yes, youll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more Youll be in my heart No matter what they say Youll be here in my heart Always
Dont listen to them, cause what do they know We need each other, to have and to hold Theyll see in time, I know
When destiny calls you, you must be strong I may not be with you, but you gotta hold on Theyll see in time, I know
Well show them together cuz...
Youll be in my heart I believe, youll be in my heart Ill be there from this day on Now and forever more
Youll be in my heart No matter what they say Youll be here in my heart always
Always... Ill be with you Ill be there for you always Always and always Just look over your shoulder Just look over your shoulder Just look over your shoulder Ill be there always
Ok so I know I keep posting songs here, but it's just that I want to give a few songs for inspirationless vidders (hopefully, this will mean more vids!). So i'm not really requesting, i'm just giving a few suggestions.
This time, it's Burn by Van Velzen. Probably most of you don't know the song, you can listen to it here .
You Struck a match inside This frozen heart of mine You set my world on fire Stranded dazed and confused Stumbling drunk on you Consumed by my own desire Tell me how Tell me how you
Burn right through me You undo me, yeah But what a way to go Oh you twist and turn me Ignite and stir me yeah You know I gotta learn how you burn How you burn
Lost in a stadium full of frowns Til your smile turned it all around Now the mention of your name Fans the flame, the flame that burns
Rigt through me You undo me, yeah What a way to go Oh you twist and turn me Ignite and stir me yeah You know I gotta learn how you burn How you burn, ohh
I wanna just to know you Even just to come close But everytime we touch That thought goes up in smoke Cause you burn, cause you burn
What a way to go Oh you twist and turn me Ignite and stir me yeah You know I gotta learn How burn right through me You undo me, yeah
What a way to go Oh you twist and turn me Ignite and stir me yeah You know I gotta learn how you burn How you burn, how you burn

AH! I love that song!!! I actually own a t-shirt that says "I'm cooler online." - ask Sue, she's seen it. *lol*
Ya know, I think I'm going to run upstairs and work on that right now. Hehehe! ...I'm thinking of someone else for this song, though - instead of Jimmy. Maybe I'll do two versions. *lol*

I'm wondering if anyone's done a vid to Lee Ann Womack's country ballad, I Hope You Dance. It strikes me it could be a really WAFFy celebration of Lois - who never settles for the path, fears the mountains etc...
Lyrics:
Quote
I Hope You Dance Lee Ann Womack
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger May you never take one single breath for granted God forbid, love ever leave you empty handed I hope you still feel small, when you stand beside the ocean Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance Never settle for the path of least resistance Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth making Don't let some hell bent heart, leave you bitter When you come close to selling out Reconsider Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance (Time is a real and constant motion always) I hope you dance (Rolling us along) I hope you dance (Tell me who) I hope you dance (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder) I hope you dance (Where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance I hope you dance (Time is a real and constant motion always) I hope you dance (Rolling us along) I hope you dance (Tell me who) (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder) I hope you dance (Where those years have gone)
(Tell me who) I hope you dance (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder) (Where those years have gone)
Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly. Aramis: Yes, sorry. Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
Another one (yes, I've been having a nostalgia trip through my music files...):
I've always thought some fun could be had with Fine Young Cannibals' She Drives Me Crazy. It has such a great beat. The lyrics are a little repetitive, but then you have a LOT of clips of Lois driving Clark crazy to choose from.

Obviously you can't have Lois rushing around with the kids, but there should be plenty scenes of her rushing off to do something. This song always makes me think of the way Clark loves Lois. You might even be able to "borrow" some scenes from the music video (if that's legal?).
I was working yesterday, and a CD we had on the playlist was playing the song 'To Make You Feel My Love'. It struck me as I was singing along how perfect this song would be when Clark is wanting Lois to feel the same way about him as he does about her. Unfortunately, I don't think I have time to make a video for this song myself, but I would love to see one. So please...someone make one! I can even send the person an mp3 or wma file of the Garth Brooks version of the song if need be.
Some lyrics:
When the rain is blowing in your face And the whole world is on your case I would offer you a warm embrace To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear And there is no one to dry your tears I could hold you for a million years To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet But I would never do you wrong I've known it from the moment that we met No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go blind for you I'd go crawling down the avenue There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on a rolling sea Down the highway of regret The winds of change are blowing wild and free But you ain't seen nothing like me yet
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do Go to the ends of the earth for you Make you happy, make your dreams come true To make you feel my love
~Anna.
Lois: Jimmy, give me back my dress. Clark: Now there's something you don't hear around the newsroom everyday.
I don't normally consider R&B songs for L&C but I keep hearing this song and I can't get it out of my head. Every time I hear Rihanna and Ne-Yo's "Hate That I Love You" I think of the period after L&C started dating and were fighting/making up all the time because of Clark's "fear of commitment" (which season was that?).
Anyway, since I have absolutely zero videomaking skills, does anyone want to try this?? For me? Pleeeeease? *bats eyelashes*
"Hate That I Love You" by Rihanna f. Ne-Yo
[Rihanna:] That's how much I love you That's how much I need you And I can't stand you Must everything you do make me wanna smile Can I not like you for awhile? (No....)
[Ne-Yo:] But you won't let me You upset me girl And then you kiss my lips All of a sudden I forget (that I was upset) Can't remember what you did
[Rihanna:] But I hate it... You know exactly what to do So that I can't stay mad at you For too long that's wrong
[Ne-Yo:] But I hate it... You know exactly how to touch So that I don't want to fuss.. and fight no more Said I despise that I adore you
[Rihanna:] And I hate how much I love you boy (yeah...) I can't stand how much I need you (I need you...) And I hate how much I love you boy (oh whoa..) But I just can't let you go And I hate that I love you so (oooh..)
[Ne-Yo:] You completely know the power that you have The only one makes me laugh
[Rihanna:] Said it's not fair How you take advantage of the fact That I... love you beyond the reason why And it just ain't right
[Ne-Yo:] And I hate how much I love you girl I can't stand how much I need you (yeah..) And I hate how much I love you girl But I just can't let you go But I hate that I love you so
[Both:] One of these days maybe your magic won't affect me And your kiss won't make me weak But no one in this world knows me the way you know me So you'll probably always have a spell on me...
[Ne-Yo:] Yeaahhh... Oohh...
[Rihanna:] That's how much i love you (how much I need you) That's how much as I need you (oooh..) That's how much I love you (oh..) That's how much as I need you
[Rihanna:] And I hate that I love you so And I hate how much I love you boy I can't stand how much I need you (can't stand how much I need you) And I hate how much I love you boy But I just can't let you go (but I just can't let you go no..) And I hate that I love you so
And I hate that I love you so.. so...

Still hoping for this one. Also, would like to see "Everything" by Lifehouse It's on the Smallville Talon mix and I figure if it's good enough for SV it's definitely good enough for LNC.
Jayne Cobb: Shepherd Book once said to me, "If you can't do something smart, do something RIGHT!
Last night I had a crazy dream A wish was granted just for me, It could be for anything I didn't ask for money Or a mansion in malibu I simply wished, for one more day with you
Chorus
One more day One more time One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied But then again I know what it would do Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you
First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl Then I'd unplug the telephone And keep the tv off I'd hold you every second Say a million I love you's That's what I'd do. With one more day with you
Chorus
Leave me wishing still for one more day Leave me wishing still for one more day

Hi guys- Here a couple songs that I had obsessions with for a time & thought would be perfect for LnC. I haven't had the time to do anything with them yet, so if someone wants to take them & run with them they are welcome to them.
A couple years ago, I did a vid to I\'ve Got A Crush On You . I'd like to see someone try doing Lois's (I mean, "Wanda's" ) other song, "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out."
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.
Please- somebody has got to do this song! I heard this this morning and I was almost (okay, I was) teary eyed thinking of this through Clark's eyes. I have some great ideas on how to do this, just lack the know how to make a video or I would do it myselfI am so inspired! This song is by Doug Stone and is so sweet and gentle, it just reminds me of the way that Clark loves Lois.
Verse 1: Every morning I watch you Walk into the office In your business suit And matching shoes With your hair pulled up neatly You tug at your glasses And you sit down Just three desks down And I watch you in the florescent glare And my mind drifts away somewhere And I see
Chours: You In a different light Your hair falling down With love in your eyes In my mind You’re a beautiful sight I see you in a different light Just the way I saw you last night
Verse 2: There’s girls at the office The guys always notice When they walk by But you’re not the type They don’t know what I know Or somethings’ just don’t show Through tailored tweats And that’s fine with me Let them all think what they want to As for me when I look at you I see
Chours: You In a different light Your hair falling down With love in your eyes In my mind You’re a beautiful sight I see you in a different light Just the way I saw you last night
Chours Baby it’s you In a different light Your hair falling down With love in your eyes In my mind You’re a beautiful sight I see you in a different light Just the way I saw you last night
I'd be happy to talk ideas, but I think the song almost makes the video! You can progress through Seasons 1-3 during the verses and bring Season 4 in on the last chorus. Verse One Lois had some great prim and proper outfits that would start out. Plenty of scenes with Clark watching Lois sitting at her desk. For the first chorus, I know there are some tender scenes of Lois in Season One either looking at Clark with a little affection or it could even be Clark watching her lose her cool over the death of Dr. Platt or talking with Amy or her sister in Smart Kids. Or you could even go with the scene in HiM when Lois is looking down at Clark after he kisses her.
Verse 2
You'd have to start with Cat. Jimmy watching her make her way across the office. Maybe go to the scene where Cat is giving Lois a hard time for dressing up to get the story from the guy who is killed by Mr. Makeup. and to another scene of Clark watching Lois, maybe shaking his head. For the second chorus, you could do scenes from TOGOM have Lois crying over Clark's body and then rushing to hug him when he "comes back to life". For the repeat chorus, the scen of Perry's friends boat where Clark is watching Lois silhouette in the door and then ending where Lois is patting his chest after dumping the champagne on him. . .

Well... I read the lyrics and thought I could give it a try. I don't know if I made it justice, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.
Skullcrusher Mountain (Jonathan Coulton) - might make a nice "Lois in Lex's lair" vid, with lines like "even my henchmen think I'm crazy"
Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain I hope that you've enjoyed your stay so far I see you've met my assistant Scarface His appearance is quite disturbing But I assure you he's harmless enough He's a sweetheart, calls me master And he has a way of finding pretty things and bringing them to me
I'm so into you But I'm way too smart for you Even my henchmen think I'm crazy I'm not surprised that you agree If you could find some way to be A little bit less afraid of me You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head Say I shouldn't kill you yet
I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you But I get the feeling that you don't like it What's with all the screaming? You like monkeys, you like ponies Maybe you don't like monsters so much Maybe I used too many monkeys Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
I'm so into you But I'm way too smart for you Even my henchmen think I'm crazy I'm not surprised that you agree If you could find some way to be A little bit less afraid of me You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head Say I shouldn't kill you yet
Picture the two of us alone inside my golden submarine While up above the waves my doomsday squad ignites the atmosphere And all the fools who live their foolish lives may find it quite explosive But it won't mean half as much to me if I don't have you here
You know it isn't easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain Maybe you could cut me just a little slack Would it kill you to be civil? I've been patient, I've been gracious And this mountain is covered with wolves Hear them howling, my hungry children Maybe you should stay and have another drink and think about me and you
I'm so into you But I'm way too smart for you Even my henchmen think I'm crazy I'm not surprised that you agree If you could find some way to be A little bit less afraid of me You'd see the voices that control me from inside my head Say I shouldn't kill you yet I shouldn't kill you yet I shouldn't kill you yet
There's a vid (based on World of Warcraft) on YouTube and several vids of Coulton performing it.

I was listening to my Kill Bill soundtrack today and I realized I'd like to see a video done with the music track called "Battle Without Honor or Humanity". It's all instrumental, the music that played as O'Ren drives through Tokyo and enters the tea house. I've heard it in quite a few car commercials lately.
Also wouldn't mind seeing a video to my 300 soundtrack, especially the "Hot Gates" track.

Jayne Cobb: Shepherd Book once said to me, "If you can't do something smart, do something RIGHT!
How can there be no video for "I can be your hero"? If there is, I haven't found one. It's perrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect for Clark's POV. Especially in contrast to Superman. She wants the hero, and Clark is like, "I can be your hero."
Pleeeeeeease. Pretty please.

Oooh, well, guess what? Your wish is about to be granted. I started working on that on Saturday.

OK, this is probably going to sound silly -- I can make my own vids easily enough -- but there are 2 songs I would LOVE to see done, problem is I don't think I would know how to do them properly... these seem like they would be best if they were made with S3 or S4 clips and... well, you all know I haven't really watched those, so...

I just, uh, stumbled onto a video centering around Alex O'Loughlin's beautiful hands (it's all Lara's fault, really) and that got me thinking:
Doesn't our very own Mr Clark Kent (at least as played by Dean Cain) also have beautiful hands?
And shouldn't there be a lot more footage available from over 80 eps of LnC compared to 13 of Moonlight?
So if someone found the time and within her the inclination to actually make a vid featuring Clark's lovely, long fingers, it would be much appreciated
In the Moonlight vid, they took "Slow Hand" by the Pointer Sisters, which is - imho - good lyric-wise but I don't think the song works that well (or would work that well with Clark.)
But there are tons of other songs featuring the word "hand" out there, and to prove it to you, I sorted through 150+ hits for "hand" (title only) on iTunes and picked some songs which might fit, lyric and pace-wise (or so I think). That I listed them does not mean that I espouse them as works of art, I just went for variety
Through this iTunes search, I also learned that Russel Crowe has an album out, title track "My Hand in My Heart" (Russel Crowe & The Ordinary Fear of God), which I wouldn't necessarily recommend for vidding, but which I thought makes a fun fact
It would be great if someone was up to this
Eva
"Take My Hand" - Dido
"Upper Hand" - LeAnn Rimes
"Iron Hand" - Dire Straits
"Raise Your Hand" - Bruce Springsteen
"Hand on Your Heart" - José González
"Hand in Hand" - The Presidents of the United States of America
Ooooh. I second this, especially with that beautiful scene from the NK arc when Lois is out looking at the sky and somewhere in space Clark looks at the ring on the chain.
Two thoughts. Was thinking of vidding them myself, but just haven't gotten motivated. Not quite my type of vids, anyway.
1. Jann Arden - Insensitive. Check out the lyrics. They just scream "Lex," don't they?
2. Savage Garden - To The Moon And Back. The lyrics seem very S1 Lois to me. Hurt by her parents, unable to trust, but secretly looking for romance, and in particular, someone to fly her away from it all. Plus, you've got those scenes of her in a space suit from the Pilot...
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.
I know this song is right at six minutes long but it is one of my favorite songs of all time, and to me I think it would make for a beautiful, sad Lois & Clark vid (I just don't know the first thing about making vids).
Artist: Snow Patrol Song: Make This Go On Forever
Lyrics
Make This Go On Forever lyrics
Please don't let this turn into something it's not I can only give you everything I've got I can't be as sorry as you think I should But I still love you more than anyone else could
All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight Is it could take my whole damn life to make this right The splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong
The last girl and the last reason To make this last for as long as I could The first kiss and the first time That I felt connected to anything The weight of water, the way you taught me To look past everything I have ever learned The final word in the final sentence You ever uttered to me was love
We have got through so much worse than this before What's so different this time that you can't ignore You say it is much more than just my last mistake And we should spend some time apart For both our sakes
The last girl and the last reason To make this last for as long as I could The first kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything The weight of water the way you taught me To look past everything I have ever learned The final word in the final sentence You ever uttered to me was love
The last girl and the last reason To make this last for as long as I could The first kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything The weight of water the way you taught me To look past everything I have ever learned The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love
And I don't know where to look My words just break and melt Please just save me from this darkness Please just save me from this darkness
And I don't know where to look My words just break and melt Please just save me from this darkness Please just save me from this darkness
She's cold and she's cruel But she knows what she's doin' She pushed me in the pool At our last school reunion She laughs at my dreams But I dream about her laughter Strange as it seems She's the one I'm after
[Chorus:] 'cause she's bittersweet She knocks me off of my feet And I can't help myself I don't want anyone else She's a mystery She's too much for me But I keep comin' back for more She's just the girl I'm lookin' for
She can't keep a secret For more than an hour She runs on 100 proof attitude power And the more she ignores me The more I adore her What can I do? I'd do anything for her
[Chorus]
And when she sees it's me On her caller ID She won't pick up the phone She'd rather be alone But I can't give up just yet Cause every word she's ever said Is still ringin' in my head Still ringin' in my head
She's cold and she's cruel But she knows what she's doin' Knows just what to say So my whole day is ruined
[Chorus]
Cause she's bittersweet She knocks me off of my feet And I can't help myself I don't want anyone else She's a mystery She's too much for me But I keep comin' back for more Oh, I keep comin' back for more She's just the girl I'm lookin' for Just the girl I'm lookin' for
Just the girl I'm lookin' for She's just the girl I'm lookin' for Just the girl I'm lookin' for Just the girl I'm lookin' for
This one seems so obvious I'm sure someone must have done it already (although if they have, I've forgotten), but I heard it today and thought I'd throw it out anyway for consideration:
So who had a bad day? Lois? Clark? Lex? The possibilities are endless.

Carol/Anna -- I just noticed you had listed "Lost in this Moment"... Had Anna accepted the "challenge" or is that up for grabs? I have notes for that one (and a vision, if that's at all possible) and was planning on doing it for someone, until I saw you'd asked for it already. If it's not being done, I'd happily do it for 'ya. I love that song.

First I saw Lois or Clark when this popped up on my CD shuffle, but then totally had a vision of Jimmy [or maybe all three of them given the one verse].
In my head there's only you now This world falls on me In this world there's real and make believe And this seems real to me And you love me but you don't know who I am I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand And you love me but you don't know who I am So let me go, just let me go

Eva mentioned earlier in this thread about a video using Clarks hands. Would anyone mind if I tried this with Slow Hand by Conway Twitty? I don't know the etiquette on requests posted here.
*forehead slap* I forgot this thread was here and posted a challenge thread. If that's a major faux pax, y'all can delete it I guess.
Anyway, Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. Doesn't that *scream* Chip Off The Old Clark to you? And yet I have not found such a vid. Or any, to this song. This makes me sad.
Okay, in honor of *ahem* how this month has been designated over in the nside of the boards, I wanted to offer a song.
I'm not a fan of Berlin, but their remake of Prince's Erotic City is really fun. It's got a lot of electroclash, synthie elements, male and female vocals and a really catchy beat--definitely harking back to the 80s. I have it if anyone wants to take a listen.
I think it would go perfect with clips from Pheromone, VD (especially with all the electroclash elements), etc.
I can see someone making a really neat, fun and racy little vid with this song. So like I said, PM me if you want to hear it--I can't stop thinking what a fun vid it will make.
I have a fun Challenge for any brave enough to take it.
Using the song Oh Lord its hard to be Humble by Mac Davis, highlight one or all(individually) the following characters from LnC.
They are put in acending order of difficulty.
Lex Luthor Lord Nor Daniel Scardino Perry White Clark Kent Jonathan Kent Jimmy Olsen H.G. Wells
And, just to make TOC happy, if you can find a female oriented version of the song. (If you can't find a female version, well, I don't think she will mind too much...)

Did anyone actually make the Daniel Powter "Bad Day" Video? I been wanting to start making videos agaon (instead of paying $20 for every game on yahoo I just have to download to play this might be a better use of my time.)
I had a mild obsession with this song and since I read these posts thats all i keep thinking about and different clips I could use.
Just wanted to know if anyone already did it, eh even if they did I still might make one. I loved my windows movie maker and making movies im just bad at picking songs or better yet just thinking of ones so ill take suggestions anyday!

I'd never heard that song before, ErinK, but it's beautiful. He sounds like Chris Martin, and I'm a big Coldplay fan. The lyrics are a bit of a challenge, but I'll give this video a shot. Probably will take me a few weeks.

Thanks for taking up the challenge! I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Please, please, please? Can someone out there create a LnC vid for Vanessa Carlton's "Ordinary Day"?
Just a day, Just an ordinary day. Just trying to get by. Just a boy, Just an ordinary boy. But he was looking to the sky. And as he asked if I would come along I started to realize That everyday he finds Just what he's looking for, Like a shooting star he shines.
He said take my hand, Live while you can Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words Although they did not feel For I felt what I had not felt before And you'd swear those words could heal. And as I looked up into those eyes His vision borrows mine. And I know he's no stranger, For I feel I've held him for all of time.
And he said take my hand, Live while you can Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand In the palm of your hand.
Please come with me, See what I see. Touch the stars for time will not flee. Time will not flee. Can you see?
Just a dream, just an ordinary dream. As I wake in bed And the boy, that ordinary boy Or was it all in my head? Did he asked if I would come along It all seemed so real. But as I looked to the door, I saw that boy standing there with a deal.
And he said take my hand, Live while you can, Don't you see all your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand In the palm of your hand, In the palm of your hand.
Just a day, just an ordinary day Just trying to get by. Just a boy, Just an ordinary boy. But he was looking to the sky.
ETA: Oh, Marcus. I hope someone takes up your challenge, too. I loved Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and it would be awesome to see it done to LnC.
BJ, your post reminded me that it seemed like I had seen an L&C Ordinary Day video awhile back, and sure enough, there is one on YouTube already: Ordinary Day . It's a very sweet video.
I know it may seem wrong but I can see this being a good first/second season song for Lois and Clark.
Jenna: "That's enough! You release the Charactors from this tragedy right now, you little gnome. Or I promise to send you somewhere far worse than the fifth dimension!"
Kazbo sarcastically: "You have me so scared!" menacing: "try dealing with this!" throws in a slow, agonising death. then disappears. -from an arguement with Kazbo, the evil muse
Jenna, your link doesn't work for me for some reason, but I assume the song you are referring to is "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks ("I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother")? If so, a few years ago, I saw one of the best L&C videos I've ever seen set to this song. I don't remember if it was posted to FOLC video or if it was on YouTube, but I don't have a link to it anymore. It specifically stands out in my mind because the L&C scene from "Resurrection," where Lois is in her leather outfit, was set to the "I'm your angel undercover" lyrics, and I thought that was pretty brilliant. I'd love to see that one again. I do vid and post to this site and like to fulfill requests, but I know that if I ever tried to vid this one, I would be subconsciously copying that video.
I just did a YouTube search, and there is another excellent L&C video set to this song . You may want to check it out.

I have a request for a video! I have no idea how to do them, so I'll leave it in someone else's capable hands. I hope it's okay to repost the lyrics here as well, as I sort of see this song as a L&C duet:
Dana Glover's It is you (I have loved) from Shrek:
Lois: There is something that I see In the way you look at me There's a smile, there's a truth in your eyes Clark: But an unexpected way On this unexpected day Could it mean this is where I belong It is you I have loved all along
Lois: It's no more mystery It is finally clear to me You're the home my heart searched for so long Clark: And it is you I have loved all along
Clark: There were times I ran to hide Afraid to show the other side Alone in the night without you Lois: But now I know just who you are And I know you hold my heart Clark: Finally this is where I belong Lois: It is you I have loved all along
Lois: It's no more mystery It is finally clear to me Clark: You're the home my heart searched for so long Lois: And it is you I have loved all along
Lois: Over and over I'm filled with emotion Clark: Your love it rushes through my veins together(?): And I am filled with the sweetest devotion As I, I look into your perfect face
Clark: It's no more mystery Lois: It is finally clear to me You're the home my heart searched for so long Clark: And it is you I have loved Lois: It is you I have loved Together: It is you I have loved all along
Or something like that, but you get the general idea. Another song that I think would make a great L&C vid (esp pre-reveal, seasons 1 &2) is Billy Joel's 'I go to extremes'
Anyway, here's the site I got the lyrics for Glover's song from.
Reach for the moon, for even if you fail, you'll still land among the stars... and who knows? Maybe you'll meet Superman along the way.
I was all set to take up the challenge, mozartmaid, but it appears that you cannot buy this song on iTunes OR Amazon in the U.S.! I hate when that happens. (There are two other songs that I am itching to vid but not itching to shell out the $14 or so for the hard copy CD they come on.)
But you may be in luck, because someone already set an L&C video to it - It is You I Have Loved . Hopefully, it is not blocked in Germany on YouTube. (Almost all of my vids say that they are blocked there.)
Hello Everyone, I was just passing by and I see Mozardmaid you couldn't watch the video on Youtube, so I download it and upload it on megaupload, this is the link where you can download it or watch it on megavideo : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N8LNTCB4
I appreciate you putting it on megaupload... the site says it's temporarily unavailable... Maybe if you just posted it there's a wait time before it's accessible? Anyway, I'll keep trying! And thanks!!

Oh please oh please someone do "This IS Who You Are" from Beethovan's Last Night by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Not only is TSO awesome, but I think the lyrics in this one work well for Clark:
SOMETIMES SLOWLY TIME BRINGS REVELATION
WAITING SOFTLY FOR SOMEONE TO BELIEVE
THAT THE GHOSTS WE'VE HIDDEN OR LEFT TO DIE HAVE NOW ARISEN AND WILL ARRIVE TO SAY WHAT HAS HAPPENED SAY WHAT HAS HAPPENED SAY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME
AND WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT YOU'D BE THE ONE THAT I WOULD HAVE FOUND HERE WAITING
LOST IN THIS NIGHT UNTIL YOU ARRIVED AND ALWAYS TOO BLIND TO SEE
AND WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT AFTER THIS TIME THAT I'D BE THE ONE YOU'RE SAVING
NOW UNDISGUISED THE GHOSTS THAT SURVIVE NOW SAY WHAT WAS MEANT TO BE
I NEVER WANTED TO GIVE MY LIFE AWAY WHO EVER THOUGHT IT WOULD MATTER ANY WAY
WANDERING INSIDE THIS NIGHT FINDING PIECES OF A LIFE NEVER SURE I'D EVER KNOW WHAT IT MEANS
IT'S THE STRANGERS IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU'D NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D MEET IT'S THE HAND THAT PICKED YOU UP WHEN YOU'RE LAYING IN THE STREET
IT'S THE HAND THAT CUT YOU DOWN IT'S THE DREAM THAT SOMEONE SHARED WHEN YOU THOUGHT THAT ALL WAS LOST IT'S THE FRIEND THAT WASN'T THERE
YOU CAN RUN FROM ALL THE MEMORY BUT NEVER GET THAT FAR FOR IN THE END THEY'LL FIND YOU FOR THIS IS WHO YOU ARE
CHANGE ONE NOTE CHANGE ONE LINE NOTHING'S GOING TO BE THE SAME CHANGE ONE LOSS CHANGE ONE CUT EVERYTHING IS RE-ARRANGED
EVERY ACT CRUEL OR KIND LOST INSIDE OUR MEMORY IF YOU LOOK THERE IN TIME
YOU'LL FIND IT IN FIND IT IN FIND IT IN YOU'LL FIND IT IN ME
There's even a line which is: "There are times I swear I feel like I can fly".

Anyone looking for a challenge? Just fell in love with a song that reminds me very strongly of Lois & Clark (and even a bit of Lex), in particular at the end of Season 1. I think it'd be fun to do a vid with this one, but don't really have the skill for it.
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, Said, no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars, yeah we'll be counting stars
I see this life like a swinging vine Swing my heart across the line And my face is flashing signs Seek it out and you shall find Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold I don't think the world is sold I'm just doing what we're told I feel something so right Doing the wrong thing I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing I could lie, coudn't I, could lie Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, Said, no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, Said, no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars
I feel the love and I feel it burn Down this river, every turn Hope is a four-letter word Make that money, watch it burn Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold I don't think the world is sold I'm just doing what we're told I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing I could lie, could lie, could lie Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, Said, no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, Said, no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Take that money Watch it burn Sink in the river The lessons are learnt (x4)
Everything that kills me makes feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, Said, no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, Said, no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be, counting stars

The duet All I Ask From You from "Phantom of the Opera" (This clip is from the movie version, but there are many versions.)
I've highlighted some promising LnC sections.
All I Ask From You:
[Both] denotes Christine and Raoul.
(Raoul) No more talk of darkness Forget these wide-eyed fears I'm here, nothing can harm you My words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom Let daylight dry your tears I'm here, with you, beside you To guard you and to guide you
(Christine) Say you'll love me every waking moment Turn my head with talk of summer time Say you need me with you now and always Promise me that all you say is true That's all I ask of you
[Raoul] Let me be your shelter Let me be your light You're safe, no one can find you Your fears are far behind you
[Christine] All I want is freedom A world with no more night And you, always beside me To hold me and to hide me
[Raoul] Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime Let me lead you from your solitude Say you need me with you here, beside you Anywhere you go, let me go too Christine, that's all I ask of you
[Christine] Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime Say the word and I will follow you
[Both] Share each day with me, each night, each morning
[Christine] Say you love me
[Raoul] You know I do
[Both] Love me, that's all I ask of you.
[Both] Anywhere you go, let me go too Love me, that's all I ask of you
VirginiaR. "On the long road, take small steps." -- Jor-el, "The Foundling" --- "clearly there is a lack of understanding between those two... he speaks Lunkheadanian and she Stubbornanian" -- chelo.
'All I ask of you' is a lovely duet, but the problem is they don't end up together in the end... Christine ends up with the Phantom... which, when translated to the LnC universe is like Lois ending up with Lex, I think.
Reach for the moon, for even if you fail, you'll still land among the stars... and who knows? Maybe you'll meet Superman along the way.

Really? I thought Christine ends up with Raoul at the end of the story. Or did you mean at the end of this song? Because, I'm sure the vidders can cut the Phantom's emergence from the shadows at the end of this scene and his reprise of the song from the end, can't they?
VirginiaR. "On the long road, take small steps." -- Jor-el, "The Foundling" --- "clearly there is a lack of understanding between those two... he speaks Lunkheadanian and she Stubbornanian" -- chelo.
Ah, OK, going back and checking the plot, she does end up with Raoul... I suppose you can make it work, but -- I don't know. She pities the Phantom, giving more sympathy towards Lex when you put it in the LnC-verse. At least in the musical, you feel like the Phantom has control over Christine, and I don't really like that when looking at the Lois/Lex relationship. But perhaps I'm reading too deeply. It is a lovely song that I've sung MANY times.

Ah, OK, going back and checking the plot, she does end up with Raoul... I suppose you can make it work, but -- I don't know. She pities the Phantom, giving more sympathy towards Lex when you put it in the LnC-verse. At least in the musical, you feel like the Phantom has control over Christine, and I don't really like that when looking at the Lois/Lex relationship. But perhaps I'm reading too deeply. It is a lovely song that I've sung MANY times.
But since this is only be a vid song request and not a story request, wouldn't the song by itself (without implying the same plot as the Phantom) work?
Wait, a gosh darn minute! You don't think Lex has control over Lois? He cons her into believing he's a good man. He tears her away from her friends and her career. He turns the once strong Mad Dog into a whimpering puppy who can't hold her own in a conversation with Mrs. Cox? How does Lex NOT have control over Lois? One could also argue that the reason that Lois didn't turn Lex in during Phoenix was because she felt sorry for him.

Oh definitely... I just don't like to DWELL on that little aspect of Lois' character. She totally got sucked into Lex's web.

, I suppose I should reiterate:
Can't wait!
