Another Song I am considering using for my trailer is 'Welcome To The Jungle'  by Guns and Roses. This song is a rock song which i think is both suitable for the action genre and connotes the idea of a hostile environment. This song has a rather sharp opening which could be used to build up the tension for the trailer or a fast past action scene of running and fighting. This would help establish the tone and ethos of the trailer. 

''in the jungle, welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your sha na na na na knees knees 

I wanna watch you bleed''

These lyrics implicate that the jungle is a harsh and puts those who visit are in jeopardy. The idea of a jungle could be a metaphor in itself. It connotes the idea of a struggle and the survival of the fittest in an environment being compared to a jungle as it is equally as challenging. My trailer is set in a wasteland therefore this song would fit well as they same challenges could be applied to a wasteland as there are also hazardous factors in it.   

. Saying "I wanna watch you bleed'' suggests opposition. Someone who doesn't want to help but instead inflict pain on others without a care. This line reminds me of some characters in my trailer who have a similar view. Survival of the Fittest. 

Although This song by 'The Walker Brothers' isn't necessarily a song that you would consider with an action film the themes of the song suit the plot of the trailer perfectly. over the opening of the song i like very much as it reminds me of someone travelling on a horse or have some coins or keys jangle in their pocket as they walk down a road. This specific opening is something for me to experiment with and see if there are places in my trailer where they would fit perfectly if i choose to use this as as song 

"Loneliness is the cloak you wear

A deep shade of blue is always there

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky

The tears are always clouding your eyes"

This specific part of the song could be interpreted as a world in crisis linking to my plot. The sun ain't gonna shine anymore could be the idea of depression  and that life in this world is worse then what meet the eye.  A deep shade of blue is always there is another implication towards depression.
