Question by Hello™: What song should I use for this short film?

The Verve – Drugs Don’t Work!

All this talk of getting old
It’s getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I’m comin’ down

And I hope you’re thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don’t work

But I know I’ll see your face again

Now the drugs don’t work
They just make you worse
But I know I’ll see your face again
