This is me putting an idea to paper, and I'm not committing to a project yet, but I've been daydreaming about this for a couple of months.
I dream of doing a dark, kick-ass video for the Medic, and two songs have come to me and said, "Hey, I'd be great for this."Â To start off, I'd like to float the idea to you guys and see if either of these songs would work or if you can think of another song.
Candidate 1: Korn's "Counting On Me"
Yes, I know Korn is looked down upon, hush, but I think the song really nails Medic.
There's tons of potential for matching video to those lyrics. Towards the end of the song, there's the "Right Now! Right Now!" part which can be a brutal montage of successive unrelenting ubercharge bloodbaths.
One totally optional bit I would go for would be this: you know how Jonathan Davis has his mic stand shaped in the form of a naked H.R. Giger-esque woman? The Medic would have a Heavy mic stand with the minigun replaced with the microphone. I'm totally stretching on that one, but like I said, daydreams.
Candidate 2: Tool's "Vicarious"
The treatment I imagine I'd give this would be a Medic floating as a spec sometimes and watching horrible things occur. "We won't give pause until the blood is flowing." He could stand motionless and medigun an unending line of his teammates marching to their deaths as he sings, "Vicariously I / live while the whole world dies. / Much better you than I. (wicked grin)" So, yeah, this song puts the Medic as a masochist rather than a sadist in "Counting On Me".
Well, like I said, I don't even know yet if I would be able to put together a working video on either one of these, even with gigantic help. Still, I wanted to float it to y'all and see what y'all think and if y'all could think of another good dark and twisted or melancholy theme for him. I know we already picked his theme song, but this would be different.
What do you think, sirs?

Quote:Why can't you ever back down?
Why can't you just shut your face?
Oh god the feelings I feel
Would get me thrown in a cage.
You're the one who's always screaming at me
I'm the one that keeps your life so care free
What the fuck more do you want me to be?
Why must you do this to me?
Run away, I can't say
Lead the way, make them pay
Counting on me
Always hoping I'll be
There for all of your problems
In turn you're never there for me
You sucked the life out of me
You hate everything you see
I can't take this anymore
I always stay when I should leave

Quote:Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit,
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'
Neither the brave nor bold
Will write us a story. So,
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'
I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so
Why can't we
Just admit it
Blood like rain, come down
Drum on grave and ground
Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Still have the transmittal
Synch to the death rattle...
