Possible song choices

Regardless of what song I choose, my music video will follow the same premise - expressionless, natural looking girls in a studio with a projection overlay of the artists performing the songs and visuals relevant to the music that is not my own.
Depeche Mode - The Bottom Line
I feel that the song is nicely slow paced and quite ambient therefore it fits my concept very well. The use of lyrics like 'you' mean that the song is very personal and would be relevant to my music video as there is a prominence of female models.
The Beatles - I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Like The Bottom Line, this song uses the word 'you' and 'she' consistently throughout so it is relevant to my use of female models. Also, the minimalistic lyrics of this song will be reminiscent of the minimalistic idea for my music video. The song also has quite an eerie tone/subject to it, and my music video could be seen as a type of scopophilia, which this song definitely suits.
New Order - Fine Time
I would really like to use this song but I feel as though, due to the fact that my main inspiration is already a New Order song, it would seem lazy and unoriginal of me. The fast pace and upbeat acid- sounds of this song would work great with a projection and the lyrics would again be appropriate with the female models.
Apex Twin - produk 29 [101]
This song is appealing because I like it. There are no lyrics which makes it appealing as the models will not be singing any lyrics, therefore it would fit well. it is also one of aphex twin's calmer tracks, which would fit in with the visuals. I also like the sampling towards the end of the song of the woman talking about going to a club etc which would fit in great with the projection if I could find footage of where the sample is from.
Kanye West - Runaway
The main appeal for this song is to make my work more personal as this is quite an important song to me. It would allow me to create a more emotional and personal piece as opposed to a completely objective piece of work. It would allow me to use my own content for the projections, as I would use pictures from my life and things relative to the song's meaning. However, that in itself makes use of this song unappealing as I personally like it more when music remains subjective and without the music video forcing a particular meaning onto the audience.
