“FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC CONTEST”

     The point of this contest is to see what inspiration of music can create! Different deviants use many different things as their inspiration. Some prefer music, other deviations, movies, love life, and the list goes on forever!

     In this contest you will use your favorite music to inspire you! Your entry can be based on a certain song or a certain style of music. Your entry can not be fan art. Fan art is not the point of this contest. You can also not submit something that just says like "I love music" or something like that. That's also not the point of this contest. Listen to your music as you create your entry and let the music your listening to reflect towards your picture. For example if you listen to dark or goth music you may want to create a dark picture. Or, if you listen to a song about love you may want to make a picture that shows love. You will not be judged on how well your picture goes with your music! That is completely up to you! I love music! And I know one song can mean MANY different things to different people! You will be judged on your art only.

     So, are you ready!!!? Get your favorite cd's and mp3's out and let's create some
GREAT MUSIC INSPIRED ART!!!

EXAMPLE


This picture was created while listening to:
Wonderful Life
By: Gwen Stefani

WHY I CHOSE THIS SONG

This song reminds me of my ex-finance Tyler who I was with for 6 years. He was my first love, my first everything. We had plans of getting married and having children but that never happened. Although I am happily married to another and have a beautiful 7 week old daughter I tend to feel beautiful on the outside but ugly on the inside for breaking his heart the way I did...

LYRICS

I haven't thought of you for years you know
Your memory seems to come & go
Our time meant so much to me
Now you can't be found
You were the first to want me, the first to love me, the first to need me
Who was the last to know you? The last to love you? The last to hold you?

[CHORUS]
It's a wonderful Wonderful Life
It's a wonderful Wonderful Life
It's a wonderful Wonderful Life
Such a wonderful Wonderful Life

I thought of you again today
Reminded me how with time I've changed
If you only knew what you gave to me
Now you can't be found
You were the first I trusted
I learned what love is when we were just kids
When did you get so lost? How could you think you were better off?

[CHORUS]
It's a wonderful Wonderful Life
Why'd you have to say goodbye?
It's a wonderful Wonderful Life
Such a wonderful Wonderful Life

Thank you for those special moments
You will always be here in my mind
Did you know you changed my life?
I'm thankful for that time
I'm thankful for that time
I'm thankful for that time

[CHORUS]
