Changed my layout and
friends only graphic. I felt like going with a
Converge theme because the more I watch their video for No Heroes, the more I love them again. And every time I see the frame where the light beam comes down from the sky onto Jake and the doves all take to the sky behind him, I totally get goosebumps. If you're curious, you can see it
here. I was gonna post a screencap, but my print screen key seems to have taken a day off.
The picture on the right is an alteration of their album cover for Jane Doe (The FO graphic is more like the cover, but cropped to a new shape) with the lyrics to No Heroes superimposed onto it. I felt like doing a two-color experiment, so I did two layers, and cut out the alternating colors in the appropriate places.
The song really gets me pumped and hits me in just the right way. I find it an uplifting cry for self realization. And, in case you can't read it properly, these are the lyrics;
In vein and valor be what they fear.
Their days are over. Our nights are here.
With hate and heartache I’ll strike you down.
With rage and rapture I crush your crown.
No more gods. No more graves.
No more love. No more hate.
Hell's hammer comes down onto their blade.
Our world of widows needs to be saved.
It’s now or never. Victim or victory.
Rebel or regret who you are and who you claim to be.
No more heroes.
No more. No more.
In my world of enemies I walk alone.
The last line is what he's shouting as the beam of light falls onto him. It's soooooo moving to me. I hope it moves you all to be better than you thought you could.
