'No Self Control  Peter Gabriel

 Got to get some food
I'm so hungry all the time
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop

Got to get some sleep
I'm so nervous in the night
I don't know how to stop
No, I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop

Got to pick up the phone
I will call any number
I will talk to anyone
I know I'm gone too far
Much too far I gone this time
And I don't want to think what I've done
I don't know how to stop
No, I don't know how to stop

There are always hidden silences
Waiting behind the chair
They come out when the coast is clear
They eat anything that moves
I go shaky at the knees
Lights go out, stars come down
Like a swarm of bees

No self-control

You know I hate to hurt you
I hate to see your pain
But I don't know how to stop
No, I don't know how to stop

Street after street
Night after night
I walk on through the rain
I walk on through the rain
I don't know how to stop



 
 
Reviews


Breaking the Chain Awards
Praise: Woot!  I love Spikey and this song really was an awesome choice for his basement dwelling days!  I read the lyrics and those alone made me grin and know that this would be a good choice for season 7.  The video, happy to say, did not let me down.  I love the jittery clipping of the scenes, bringing forth Spike's insanity into the video (for example, the editing from 0:18 to 0:25) The lyrics matched almost effortlessly with Spike's behavior and helped to tell the story of how he lived during season 7.  I was starting to get into the strange music, but it is a big reliever for a rocker like me at 2:13 when the music gets a little darker, chanting "no self control."  I even love the sudden ending with Spike snarling.  Great song choice, I can't stress that enough.
Anything Negative:  Hmmm.... nope.  I really adored this video.  Got any more? ~Guardian


BBM Awards
Cec: Awesome Overlays! Awesome effects! I am completely in love with the jumpy editing style! The use of the lyrics is great, and you do a great job using the beats of the music! The fast cuts, like the sequence at about 2:03 were extremely impressive! Great job! This video is SO cool!
Kaycee:  Man, what a cool Spike vid! The jumpiness of the editing was perfectly matched with the sound of the music. Loved the fast part at 1:47 and 2:02. The zooming stills also looked amazing. One of the best, most creative Spike videos I've ever seen!

Black Key Sugar Locket Awards 
Amazing Spike video! The song choice is perfect to show how Spike really has no self control over his "Bad Vamp" side. I loved how you edited this. I really liked all the overlays, the zooms, the quick cuts and the parts where you added - I believe was a picture with a cool effect - Example at 0:05 and the "Stop" parts. I thought the part at 0:17 - 0:25 was cool. I liked everything about this video. Great job and great ending!  

Path of the Heart Awards
Even if the music could sound unusual for this character, the song and lyrics are perfect. Great lyrics/association and music use all along the vid. You succeed in building a really interesting character study. I love your editing choices, for instance, the fast cuts at 0:17, or various overlays enhancing the feeling the character being totally lost. You work on motion is also great. :)
