Thought I’d come here after my post on the ideas page. I won’t mention the ones I said there but here are some other songs I’ve been playing with adapting.
‘In Germany Before the War’ – Randy Newman
“Glory Days” - Bruce Springsteen
“The Last Time I saw Richard” - Joni Mitchell
“ Hell of a Life” - Kanye West
“The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll” - Bob Dylan
"Fast Car," Tracy Chapman
"From the Dining Table," Harry Styles
let me know of any ideas of song to film you had below. Or if any of these songs interest you into turning into a film shoot me a message

If I could one more song: Casimir Pulaski Day by Sufjan Stevens. It would definitely be a tear jerker aimed towards teenagers so definitely not in my wheelhouse, but there's something here

“ Hell of a Life” - Kanye West” will probably be my first one. I’ve thought of an idea and a new title. Though I’m not the biggest Kanye fan or fan of the song, I think it can inspire a decent story. I have an idea for a director and possible cast in the romantic thriller

Space Odyseý by David Bowie. But a literal interpretation instead of the "He's a junkie and it's a person ODing on heroine" but you could make a pretty good space drama/tragedy of Major Tom going to space and getting lost. You can include lines like "Tell my wife I love her"
Bohemian Rhapsody is basically an opera that could be made into a film.

"Waiting for Love" - Avicii
The music video gave me an idea of an elderly man who's become an introvert tired of life, finds his wife mysteriously gone on a trip. Missing his wife, he advances his motorized wheelchair and sets out into the great unknown in a world he's lost touch in. While on his journey, he learns that life never stops advancing in it's beauty as it never stops being life changing.
I want frank langella to play the lead with someone like Tom McCarthy, Brett Haley, Marielle Heller, Hannah Marks, and/or Richard Linklater

This is an old thread but I was just thinking about this Fields of Gold by Sting is the perfect song for film adaptation. It would be a great like epic about a couple throughout the years.

Talking about song to film. I'm currently cooking a Black Parade musical. But its so bizarre that i don't even know what the hell is it supposed to be. I overcooked, no, i overburned it. If someone's willing to work together on this, or give a feedback on it, please kindly hit me up!
