Description I really hope everyone likes this picture and it gets the recognition it's due. I put my heart and soul into it, and as those of you close to me can imagine, this was not an easier picture to do...emotionally.

There are still no smiles, but now there's an overwhelming flood of joy.

A simple kiss shared by Aranelion and Camillia was even harder to do than the Wedding Series picture of them. Only because of who they represent...me, and the love of my heart who is just too far away.

But for this song, this picture...that love, I had to try.

This is the picture for the Hanson song, "More Than Anything" It is off one of their very first albums, released independently before they recorded "Middle of Nowhere" the album that made them famous. The only copy of this song I can find comes off the album, "Live From Albertane" and obviously it was sung infront of a live audience, but it is still incredibly beautiful. The screams and shouts from the audience are pretty much drowned out by Isaac and the piano, they're not enough to ruin the song totally.

It is sung solely by Isaac Hanson, while either he or Taylor are playing the piano, which is all that accompanies him. I say either of them because Taylor plays it most of the time, but on occasion both Isaac and Zachary play piano, so I don't know if Ike played here or not. Point is, it's his vocals and the piano that make the song, again, tearfully beautiful. Here are the lyrics.

I love you more than anything,
Than anything, I do.
And I'd give anything, and everything I have,
Just to be with you.

These feelings I hold inside,
Are emotions I cannot hide.
These feelings will not subside,
I'd give anything, anything.

When I look into your eyes,
I see something special about you.
And when I hold your hand,
You seem to understand.

I love you more than anything,
Than anything, I do.
And I'd give anything, and everything I have,
Just to be with you.

These feelings I hold inside,
Are emotions I cannot hide.
These feelings will not subside,
I'd give anything, anything.

When I think of life without you,
It brings me, it brings me right down to my knees.
'Cause I, I can't imagine life without you.
You are my strength.
The thing that keeps me holding on.

I'd do things that can't be done.
I'd fly to the moon and then around the sun.
If you'll just see that I'm the one,
I'd do anything.

I love you more than anything,
Than anything, I do.
And I'd give anything, and everything I have,
Just to be with you.

These feelings I hold inside,
Are emotions I cannot hide.
These feelings will not subside,
I'd give anything, anything.

I'd give anything.
You know, I'd do anything for you.
I love you more than anything.
More than anything.

The first time I heard this song I cried.
Now when I apply it to my own life, I cry again.
It sounds too much like me, well, my situation. Of course Hanson's written a lot of songs I can identify with, but this one more than anything.

I really wanted to do this song justice. It's too beautiful. All it is really is a love song. It doesn't really tell a story. It's just the feelings of one's heart trying their best to be understood by the one they love.

So...all I could see was Aranelion and Camillia sharing a kiss, perhaps their first.

And yes, there are tears in both of their eyes. I felt that was one of the only ways to get the full spectrum of emotions represented in the piece. They're so much in love and finally realize it in each other's hearts, they're brought to tears. It's pure joy. They're overwhelmed, not only that this love exists, but that it's finally come true, and that it'll never go away. They'll never have to feel alone or lost again.

I'm desperate to feel the same.

But yes, I really hope I accomplished my goals here. This song strikes a special chord in my heart. It's this tearful kiss that tries to say, "I love you more than anything, and because you mean everything to me, you are my world."

...if Camillia's hair looks weird, remember her hair is like Amarie's. The three or so locks in the back are much longer than the rest. I just couldn't have her hair pulled back here. My only regret is that I didn't feather them out like I did in HTC: "Down"

The hand Aranelion has placed on her back also looks messed up. The kiss kind bothers me but it'll take practice. The last time I drew anybody kissing was when I did "Love's Lasting Promise" a KnuxAmy picture, and that was back in 2006 I think. So yeah, I need practice.

Man...it's when I post pictures like these and see parts of my soul bleeding all over them I wonder what Aaron would think if he saw them. This is the first time Aranelion and Camillia have kissed...I wonder what he'd say?

Maybe someday I'll know. Maybe not.

...Bless you Aranelion and Camillia.
