This is a compilation of songs that I have put together that help tell the story of a western film that has been in the works in my mind for quite some time. The basic story is: The main character is sherif deputy (lets call him John) who lives in a peaceful town in the american old west. When this peaceful town is attacked by a infamous criminal (lets just call him Jedidiah Smith) and his bandits, the sherif is killed and John must hunt down this evil man. On his journey he meets a loner who is a very old man (this character is actually clint eastwood's character of "the man with no name" from The Dollars Trilogy long after the events of The Trilogy). They also meet an outlaw woman who is a well known criminal named Katharine The Bandit. They decide to let her help them find Jed Smith and his men becuase she has ties to the criminal world. They go to were they are told Jed Smith is, but it is a trap. After a long negotiation John and the man with no name are scheduled to be hung by these evil men, and Kath is held by them. After an elaborate escape they must leave Kath, but tell her to meet them at a rendezvous point in the middle of no were. Before Kath can get away from Jed he convinces her to betray the two men for a large some of money, sense she is a criminal she values this money more than her new found friends. So they let Kath go so she can meet up with her friends and trap them, she leads Jed and his men right to them. In a big gun fight all of the bandits are killed and the man with no name is a sort of distraction to Jed so John can kill him but in the process the man with no name is shot and bleeds out after the battle. After the battle John sees that Kath is no where to be found but he does spot one of Jeds bandits fleeing and shoots out his knee cap and takes him prisoner. Over the course of the film John has become emotional with his new friends Kath and the old man. The old man is a good friend, and Kath is his love interest, so when the man with no name dies and Kath is missing he is very angry. So he proceeds to interrogate Jed's bandit and finds out through torture that Kath has betrayed him. In an angry rage he hunts down Kath and finds her in a Saloon in a small town. They then settle things the old fashioned way, a draw. It is all very suspenseful and has lots of starring like the classic westerns Kath eventually quickly draws her guns (She has two silver revolvers with ivory handles) but John is quicker and draws and fires and hits her in top left of her torso. She falls to the ground motionless, and John walks over to her. She is dying quickly and begins to cough, she struggles. Very patheticly she tells John that he was the closest thing to a friend she ever had. He then puts her body, wrapped up, on the back of his horse and travels into the desert and buries her with a wooden cross over the grave. Lastly we see John very slowly riding into the sunset, and the end credits roll over that shot.
I've also put in parenthesis next to each song a sort of description of what part of the movie the song would be playing over. Generally the whole song wouldn't play for example on Time by Pink Floyd just the segment between the clock sound effects and the actually song would play.
But thats pretty much it, hope you enjoy it.

Why is it that the woman is the devious one who is betraying her friends? And is so easily convinced to do so? I think that Kath should kill John instead. ;-)
I like the storyline, though. Can't download the music cause of my stupid connection :(
