Description Your words still serenade me,
Your lullabies won't let me sleep
I've never heard such a haunting melody.
Oh, it's killing me
You know I can barely breathe

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were getting
High as outer space
I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late

The Crow and the Butterfly - Shinedown

-------------------------------------------------------

Hey, it's been a while, eh? As usual, this one is related to a new favorite song of mine. This isn't the greatest manip I've done by far, but I'm still getting used to my Photoshop upgrade and I'm not feeling terrific today. However, this is what comes into my head when this song starts playing, so I thought I'd share it with you. It's an amazing song; go look it up.

Edit: here's a youtube video that plays the song for you. [link]

Also, this song is written in 3/4 time... so when I've got this cranked up on my iPod, I tend to pretend I can waltz. I guess that's the reason I chose this particular couple; if you keep watching, in another couple of seconds, they'll waltz.

THIS IS AWESOME! It's one of my favorite Shinedown songs, by far. I love the poetic way Brent Smith describes things, especially in this song. I often feel like the crow.

I love the way you did this picture, the colors and everything.

Me too!! But definitely in the sense that maybe Romeo doesn't even deserve Juliet after all...

Oh they deserve each other... I've learned that Juliet was really suicidal anyway, and that she loved death more than love. She's an idiot and so was Romeo.
