Carl Hauck

Shelley found a song by Carl Hauck, a artist found on unsigned.com. She gave me the link and I listened to a few of his songs. One that interested us both was "Dissociation". It matches Bob Dylan's style and also has great lyrics that suit our idea for the visual part of our music video. "Dissociation" is a great title because it makes sense to the life of Edie Sedgwick. She disscociate herself from Bob because he made her choose between him and the factory. Dispite this Andy still saw Bob Dylan as a threat and replaced her.

Also on the unsigned website on Hauck's page is the lyrics to his song. It is even better that we have the lyrics because then it is alot easier to learn. Looking threw the lyrics we see that there are many lines that could be interpreted in different ways. This makes it better for us when it comes to filming because we can choose what to act out and how to protray it and give it different meanings.

Lyrics

Dissociation
He eats turkey for tradition, not the taste,
uses old movie lines as he touches her face
figures everybody's got a lover on the big screen
prefers his love advice from old Jim Beam

'Cuz beauty's in an empty bottle
as long as its contents are traveling through his insides

She's just never tasted right, but there's cocaine on her lips.
It's sad to hear him claim a thing when he's never felt it.
It's hard for him to deal with those stages in between
when the logic kicks in called sobriety

'Cuz beauty's in an empty bottle
as long as its contents are traveling through his insides

Is there any cure for this second brain?
Is there any cure for this second brain?
What is true? Love or lust?
What is true? Love or lust?
Tell him what is true. Tell him what is true.
Tell him what is true. Tell me what is true.
'Cuz I'm lying to this thing you call God,
and I'm lying to your friends,
and I'm lying to myself again,
and I'm lying to you.

Unsigned.com

We was given this website which is full of songs that people have made that haven't yet been signed up to a record company which means we can use their pieces. There are many genres of music and lots of those are a mixture of genres which will make it easier for us to find a Bob Dylan style of music.



However, we need a song that not only is the right style but also has the right lyrics to match Edie's life. We want it be a folk/acoustic style just like Bob Dylan's style. I have looked on the website and have found some pieces that sound good but just aren't what we are looking for at the moment. If we cannot find a piece that suits our idea then we may have to alter it a little.

Edie Sedgwick
















Shelley contacted me after watching "Factory Girl" and told me the story line. She suggested that we could have our music video based on Edie Sedgewick and her life full of drugs and relationships.

We are interested in acting out her life threwout the video and showing her life around Andy Warhol and her deepest love for Bob Dylan.





As Bob Dylan dedicated 2 of his songs to her, we decided to use his style of music to protray her life.







These songs would of been great to use but we can't use them because we can not use copy right music. We need to find soft rock/country/folk ballet that fits the style of Bobs songs. We also want to use an acoustic and get a male to play Bob Dylan singing the song and get another male to play Andy Warhol. I'm going to play Edie and show her tragic, short life. I'll be made up to look like her from the 50's to the 70's. I think if we use the right mise en scene, then our piece could really be pursuasive
