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

Songset - It's A Departure

[excelsior_hallelujah]

it's familiar / but not too familiar / but not too not-familiar / it's a new craze / hey good girls / do you wanna just say / hey I wanna

Song: "It's A Departure" by The Long Winters
Subject: Justin McElroy, Travis McElroy, Griffin McElroy

The song is the theme song to the podcast My Brother, My Brother, and Me, which is of course hosted by the three McElroy (prn MACK-uhl-roy) brothers iconed above. I was quite stuck on this challenge, but I was listening to this podcast at work and had an epiphany. I may yet manage a more ~artistic~ songset, but in the meantime, please enjoy these brothers three.

Lol, these are funny! I especially like the second one with the way the yellow text fits his jacket, and the "craze" one which looks appropriately crazy. :D

I love how clear the lyrics are and how fitting the images are for them too! Such a fun set! XD

I tried to make sure the images had the same "feel" as the lyrics, so glad it came across! Thanks! :)
