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

~I hope I did this right! O_O; This was a pretty interesting challenge! I'm not super confident with using text in my icons, but I love this song and series and was excited to try icons inspired by it either way. XD

[tinny]

Yes! You absolutely did this right!

I like how all the text is at angles, there's a real emotional theme going on there with the shadows in the images and the desperation in the lyrics. It's all perfectly readable, too, you did an amazing job!

(Also: good song!)

I'm glad I did the challenge correctly! It was a really interesting experience since I don't normally use fonts/text. Thank you! ♥
