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

Because this challenge has CONSUMED MY LIFE, I come with a third(!) song set, this time 7 icons long:

If you were here
I'd whisper sweet nothings in your ear
and appeal to all your fears
If you were mine (If you were only mine)
I'd bring you so much further down
and twist your mind
until the end of time

Song: Sirenia - My Mind's Eye
Fandom: Guardian (镇魂)
Textures: wolfbane_icons

Argh... Ye Zun. Those lyrics are really him. <3 I especially like the last two - the white text is the best. Also, Shen Wei in the first one, wonderful! And that cap in the second one. I've always thought it looks very intimate, and that text makes that come out really well.

[extrapenguin]

Thabk you! I loved making the switch from Shen Wei to Ye Zun so the icons would tell their own internal story of "it's me, mwahaha!"

[timetobegin]

ahaha good job!!! like the coloured theme as well!

[extrapenguin]

Thank you!

[colls]

Nice cropping and the text on #2 is my favorite (both content and composition of it).
I like that you have a color theme for the set, it works so well.

[extrapenguin]

Thank you! I started with #4 and then worked my way out, so I used the same texture set combos as a theme. I'm glad #2 came across as tender, like I intended is!

[breyzyyin]

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

[extrapenguin]

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

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!

[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!
