I've got a school project that I need one for, we're studying Shakespearian revenge tragedies and I need to make a music video that follows the tropes of the typical revenge tragedy of the era.
Ideally I'm looking for songs that aren't explicitly a break-up song, or at least ones that can be spun as something other than a breakup. I'm also banned from using songs from musicals :'D They don't need to be in English though! Although it would be nice if at least an English translation of the lyrics was available somewhere.
Help is greatly appreciated!
These are the ones that came to mind for me:
"The Beast" by L'ame Immortelle
"Prodigal Son" by Heather Dale (inspired by Arthurian lit)
"Dracula" by Iced Earth (three guesses who it's about; it gets really good around the 1:32 mark :P)
"Running Up That Hill" (I think it was originally by Kate Bush, but there are a ton of versions of it)
These are songs I would put on a revenge playlist.
Pale On Pale - Chelsea Wolfe Kill V. Maim - Grimes Where I End and You Begin - Radiohead Voodoo In My Blood - Massive Attack Shipwreck - Modeselektor Ale - Xiu Xiu
Maybe "Vow" by Garbage?
