Description So, I'm in the middle of moving right now, I just bought this computer, don't have Photoshop CS2 here with me, so I did what I had to do. I used Paintshop Pro. *grimaces* Haven't used the program in 6 years, and I've got a horrible mouse (it's not optical!!!).

Anyway... The writing reads as:

Another day passes and you don’t call
Getting to know every crack in the wall
If there’s a good reason for this
It’s a secret you’re keeping
Can’t make a move and don’t know why
As if I don’t have a reason to try
But the sun keeps coming around
Without me sleeping

You’re going away now baby
With nothing to say
So nothing makes sense to me lately
Of all the things to throw away

It’s like cleaning up the streets
After the fireworks
All of this beauty
Turned to dust and to dirt
No relief from the light of dawn
When it takes over

I’m hoping you feel something missing
That you had yesterday
I’m wondering what you were thinking
Of all the things to throw away
Of all the things to throw away

You’re gone away from me
All I’ve got to say
I’m hoping you come to your sense
Of all the things to throw away

Again, laden with emotion. The pic itself is very melancholic but it's also beautiful. Love the inclusion of the verses & the paper textures & tears. Good layout, right colors, great design!

i really like this even if you did have to use pro instead of PS, the colours are great and you put the words in perfectly

Digital art is therapy for me. If one thing I'll miss about living with a graphic designer is having Photoshop. I'm going to buy a tablet tho, soon I hope.

I'm sure I could get my hands on it again too, but I have the same issue. I need to listen to music while I do art, so I have to decide between running PSP and listening to mp3's or running CS and listening to the radio X_x

Sometimes music is all I need to inspire me. Some songs have such great imagery or concepts to them
