Songs of the Apocalypse

[lizvogel]

NaNo is coming, and I'm 97.326% sure I'm doing Apocollapse for it. Unlike previous years, there is much prep to be done, including organizing my research, compiling my notes, figuring out a major character's name, and putting together a writing mix -- which is where you come in, dear reader, if you have any suggestions to add.

What I've got so far is (almost certainly not in this order):

Sister Hazel, Sword and Shield  (lyrics)
Imagine Dragons, Demons  (lyrics)
Simple Minds, Summer  (lyrics)
Simple Minds, Walk Between Worlds  (lyrics)
? Simple Minds, The Signal and The Noise ?  (lyrics)
Haley Heynderickx, Untitled God Song  (lyrics)
Tears For Fears, Rivers of Mercy  (lyrics)
Tears For Fears, Master Plan  (lyrics)
Tears For Fears, The Tipping Point  (lyrics)
? The Decemberists, Calamity Song ?  (lyrics)
?? OK Go, Before the Earth Was Round ??  (lyrics)

As you can see, a range of musical styles/genres is fine; some of these things are not like the others. The more melodious strains of alternative/rock are my usual territory, with clever lyrics that can be reasonably clearly understood. The lyrics don't have to pertain to the prophesied destruction of the earth and everything on it; oftentimes my interpretations of songs are idiosyncratic at best. And sometimes (though rarely) it's just that something sounds right.

(ETA: There are probably several other songs that should be on this list; cf. needing to compile my notes. But more music is always welcome!)

So, what else should I be listening to?
