Activity #24 Song Set

[tinny]

Maybe it's the advent of Spring that's making my muse run into weird directions and coming up with increasingly hard challenges... but we'll try something that used to be a staple in LJ iconmaking and that I haven't seen in over ten years:

Song sets!

A song set consists of icons with the lyrics of one song. Since it's a really old (i.e. extinct) thing, the only example icons I have are my own:


"I don't want to worry whether we're going to stay together until we die"
(Cake, "Love You Madly" lyrics)

In my set, I tried to make every single icon contain meaningful text, but that's definitely not a requirement.
I've never seen a set so large that it contained a whole song - but I won't stop you!
Apart from the text, the icons don't have to look the same or fit together in any other way.

Thanks to yourlibrarian, who made me look into songsets some more, I found another example set:

"I want a girl with a voice that is dark like tinted glass, I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket"
by errantnotice here
(Ha, another Cake Song: "Short Skirt, Long Jacket" lyrics)


* Really the only rule is that the lyrics should be continuous within the song from one icon to the next.

* Every icon should contain at least one word.
* If you can't make a part of the lyrics work:
** not all words have to be readable!
** NEW: you can leave out short connecting words (like "and", "that",...)
* You can choose any song, or more than one song if you make more than one set.
* If you want to leave out parts of the lyrics, just make separate sets.

* This time there is a minimum of 2 icons: the smallest set is a set of two.
* You can make as many icons (and as many sets) as you like.
* Please link the song lyrics, and/or put the parts you used of them in your comment with your icons

* Please submit your icons (and URLs!) to this post, all in one comment (if possible).
* Everyone can participate, you don't have to be a member of this community.
* I will collect all the icons from the comments and make a result post
* Everyone can leave comments on the inspiration and activity result posts
* There is no voting

Deadline: Saturday, April 20 2019, your end-of-day

Thank you! *g*

Thank you! I spent ages looking for caps that fit the lyrics - the "be something greater" icon is probably my favourite of the bunch.

[seraphina_snape]

Thank you! *g*

[colls]

Thanks! :)

[seraphina_snape]

I can relate. I've managed to find one song that I could work with, but haven't had much luck finding another to make a second set.

Thank you! ♥

[breyzyyin]

Such a great song choice! I love how it fits the series and images so well. That 3rd icon is amazing! XD

[breyzyyin]

This is a lovely song set! Your text placement is really awesome. ♥

[breyzyyin]

These are beautiful! The lyrics fit the images really well. Great job! ♥

[seraphina_snape]

Thank you very much! *g*

Thank you! That expression is very iconizable, and that icon's actually the first idea that came to mind when this challenge rolled around.

[extrapenguin]

Thank you! I'm really pleased with how this set turned out.

[colls]

Thank you!
Text is something I've struggled with since getting my new computer (and never felt it was my strength to start with), so I love hearing that!

[abyss_valkyrie]

Oh myyyy!That is one twisted AU idea. :D
Okay,I really like this set.The pinks and whites,what a lovely combo!And the first one-aww!I also like the 4th icon a lot!

[abyss_valkyrie]

What a perfect set,the lyrics and the style with the cap choice!Great work!

[abyss_valkyrie]

WOW!!Amazing set here!Seriously loving the colours and the way you used the various fonts!Awesome crop in 1 and 5!

[timetobegin]

thank you!! It was agonisng lol, was out of my comfort zone

[extrapenguin]

Thank you! Ye Zun seems to be halfway there already in canon (he tries to seduce Zhao Yunlan not even 5 minutes after he's eaten the competition!), and the mind-twisting fit him to a T. The fourth icon was the one I started with and I am super duper happy with how it turned out!

[colls]

Thank you! :)

I come to your house of fun with a pile of angst! Behold, 7 icons:

Why can you stay here a while?
Stay here a while
Stay with me
All the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words I prayed, prayed, prayed
All the promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words I spoke, spoke, spoke

Song: The Cranberries - Promises
Fandom: Guardian (镇魂)

Oh wow!The 2nd set is just so cool with the lyrics,the black and white,like a trailer for a very action packed,serious show.Which it does turn into later on. :D And the lyrics in the 1st set,awww!!

[abyss_valkyrie]

Excuse me. Is this the way to start someone's morning?With tears?
But but ooohhh!!This is such a good set!The muted colouring and the text,goodness,my heart is broken again but I'm also in love with the 4th,5th and 7th icons. T_T

Re: Big God

[abyss_valkyrie]

WOW!!How did you place such big text without ruining the picture?You're a master at using text! <3 I like allll of these! And *cough* maybe *cough* we should have song set challenge over at fandom10in30 sometime.

[extrapenguin]

I hear tears go well with breakfast? :P

I'm super glad the text and coloring worked! It took some trying to find an acceptable font.

[extrapenguin]

Thank you! The moment I saw this challenge I knew I had to make the first set. I'm glad the second set succeeded in its aims!
