Random shot list – in no particular order:
Drone from directly above – walking – slow zoom in to close
Yellow lines passing at high speed – one static, and one with slow pan up to show a little bit of horizon
(Simple, I think… shoot it from out the window of a back seat, and reverse it.)
Putting in old, duct taped earbuds.
Fumbling with rusty guitar plug into guitar
Close-up, narrow-depth shot of hands turning music box handle. Out of focus face in background.
Behind the wheel, through dusty windshield, shot from the hood. (faked vehicle travel/movement?)
Night fire
Nasty straight razor shaving back of head
Walking:
From 40-50 yards away
From 30 yards away, singing, slo-mo. (shoot with sped-up track) Frame rate?
From 10 yards away
From behind, at 30-50 yards
Tracking side shot?
From 30 yards… walking away, smoking car behind (after closing vocal line?)

Lyrics:
Out here on the road
you draw a line between
what is and what was then
’cause now it’s
one for one
and all for none
and the sky is dark
with the smoke of burning men
And it’s hands down boy
you better kill
or you will die
gotta keep your eyes up
on the road
They’ve taken everything I have
and now I’m all alone
I stopped counting out the days
since the took my love
I lost all sense of time
One day blurs into another
When your life comes down
to a pair of yellow lines
And time now, boy
you better drive
or you will die
gotta keep yourself
upon the road
They’ve taken everything I have
and now I’m all alone
And it’s hands down boy
you better kill
or you will die
gotta keep your eyes up
on the road
They’ve taken everything I have
and now I’m
now I’m alone.
They’ve taken everything I have
and now I’m
Now I’m alone.
