Aug 09, 2010 18:58

Here are your themes for week 61, let's get lots of icons! :)

General Theme: Tears & Rainbows
This is the title of a song by Olivia Lufkin. If you choose this theme, you have to make an icon inspired by it. The interpretation is free: you can write it on the icon, represent it graphically or do any other thing you can think of.
If you feel the need to explain anything, you're free to do so. ^^

Lyrical Theme: "Ordinary World" by Duran Duran
If you choose to use this theme, the icon must contain at least three consecutive words from the lyrics. Also, this is the only text allowed on the icon, aside from tiny text which can be used for decoration.


Came in from a rainy Thursday
on the avenue
thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV
and the radio
still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
and as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
cross the rooftops, run away
left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

but I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
and as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside
tell of suffering and greed
feared today, forgot tomorrow
ooh, here besides the news
of holy war and holy need
ours is just a little sorrowed talk

And I don't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
and as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

everyone is my world
I will learn to survive
anyone is my world
I will learn to survive
anyone is my world
every one is my world
