The song that explains DayZ fully?.. Should be DayZ's theme tune..

[Korsbaek 1778]

Okay guys. 80's music is always the answer to these. Especially Queen.

Couldn't listen to OP without sighing and remembering how great Green Day *used* to be Nimrod/Dookie days... sigh

[ducky125 1]

Too easy...

 

 

There's a reason I play this on guitar.

Bar that, the following always seems appropriate to bust out.

Jesus christ, NO LYRICS.

They are terrible, no matter how they seem to fit it gives the idea that you are not alone, in the sense of civilization.

Something like fallout's, or that 28 days song, but no lyrics.

[doviszxc 194]

It's strange nobody thought about this one

This is a tune! Loved it from when it was in The Walking Dead, that country vibe really gets me...

 

Aside from the country/ambient guitar theme here how about some Metallica? LOL

The Bambi Song

 

What you go and do
You go and give the bambi a gun
Now there ain't place to run to
Ain't no place to run to

When he hold it in his hand
He feel mighty he feel strong
Now there ain't no place to run to
Ain't no place to run

One day he may come back
Repay us for what we've done
Then where you gonna run to
Where you gonna run

But one fine day
All our problems will be solved
Bang bang bang
We'll shoot him down

Give him beans and give him soda
Anything to make him think he's happy
And he won't ever come for us
He won't ever come

But if he does
And if there's no one else around
Bang bang bang
We'll shoot him down

If he preys only on his neighbors
Brothers sisters and friends
We'll consider it a favor
We'll consider justice done

But if he comes for you or me
And we can the loot from him
Bang bang bang
We'll shoot him dead

What you go and do
You go and give the bambi a gun
Now there ain't no place to run to
Ain't no place to run

Now we'll all be at his mercy
If he decides to hunt us down
Cause there ain't no place to run to
Ain't no place to run

If he wants the chances that you took from him
And nothing that you own
Then there'll be no place to run to
There'll be no place to run

And if he finds himself to be
A reflection of us all
Bang bang bang
He'll shoot us down

Before you can raise your eyes to read
The writing on the wall
Bang bang bang
He'll shoot you down

Before you can bridge the gulf between
And embrace him in your arms
Bang bang bang
He'll shoot you down

(slightly modified lyrics)

Good Old Johnny Cash: The Man comes around

 

[floj 393]

Someone needs to do a mashup of Rolling Stones - Free, Bjork - Human Behaviour and Gloria Gaynor - Survive...then we'd have about the right lyrical content :)

[Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036]

 

This is what I listen to when I go bandit hunting

[quobble 175]

we need a good theme song that gives you the basic situation of DayZ.

as I said before, let some artist or just casual gamer with knowledge compose a track and give the best one a fair amount of money.

 

it will be a 3 monts competition and the best one is chosen by the community and at last by the Devs.

its easy.

[Rissou 42]

This is a good song, since everyone wants this game to be "hard" and nobody should get stuff for free, so you need to work bitch.

Extreme Ways by Moby does it for me. Both the music and lyrics

 

Last month i happend to watch all  4 Bourne films over a 2 day period and everytime i heard the theme song i thought of Dayz. In fact i wasnt aware of the SA release until the song drove to this site the first week in January to check for updates.

 

For me the music and the lyrics fit perfectly.  (Cant link to youtube, the task masters at work have blocked it)

 

Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn't know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I'd owned
I threw it out the windows, came along
Extreme ways I know move apart
The colors of my sea
Perfect color me

Extreme ways that help me
That help me out late at night
Extreme places I had gone
But never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it planned?

I would stand in line for this
There's always room in life for this

Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does

Extreme songs that told me
They helped me down every night
I didn't have much to say
I didn't get above the light
I closed my eyes and closed myself
And closed my world and never opened
Up to anything
That could get me along

I had to close down everything
I had to close down my mind
Too many things to cover me
Too much can make me blind
I've seen so much in so many places
So many heartaches, so many faces
So many dirty things
You couldn't even believe

I would stand in line for this
It's always good in life for this

Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Then it fell apart, it fell apart
Oh baby, oh baby
Like it always does, always does


 

[Rōnin Rick 98]

So you've been playing with the same character for some time now. You've acquired all the necessary gear to survive: food, water, clothes, a backpack, an axe. You do your best to help your fellow survivors however you can.

 

One fine afternoon you decide to head into Cherno to look for supplies, when suddenly, a group of armed bandits surrounds you and demands that you drop your weapons. You comply with their orders. They handcuff you, steal all your gear, and feed you rotten fruit for good measure. They then leave you for dead.

 

But you're no ordinary Bambi. No! You struggle out of your cuffs and set out to arm yourself, vowing vengeance....

 

You've looted neighboring towns, acquiring all the things necessary to embark on your quest for blood. You're well fed and watered; you have an M4 with plenty of ammo; you have a stylish hat. You were unable to find any pants, however, but you won't need pants where you're going... This will be a one-way trip....

 

Also, your name is Steve.

 

 

Steve walks warily down the street, brim pulled way down low

Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet, machine gun ready to go

Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this? Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?

Out of the doorway the bullets rip, to the sound of the beat.

 

Another one bites the dust

Another one bites the dust

And another one gone, and another one gone

Another one bites the dust

Hey, I'm gonna get you too

Another one bites the dust

 

How do you think I'm gonna get along? Well not too well at all

Took me for everything that I had and kicked me out of my own

Are you happy? Are you satisfied? How long can you stand the heat?

Out of the doorway the bullets ripple, to the sound of the beat

 

Another one bites the dust

 

There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man, and bring him to the ground

You can beat him, you can cheat him, you can treat him bad, and then leave him when he's down

But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you, I'm standing on my own two feet

Out of the doorway the bullets rip, repeating to the sound of the beat
