This is really old, from about a year ago, but I finally remembered to upload it.
This song makes my imagination explode - I have had an idea for a perfect video for this since I heard it, but... kind of too late. Since I don't have contact with AFI. =_=
"Kiss and Control" - AFI
Watch the stars turn you to nothing.
Now blush and smile as they whisk you away.
Part your lips a bit more, I'll swallow your fear.
I will show you how
all the bite marks impress a need to be here,
a need to see
City lights, like rain,
Dance and explode,
Fall upon debutantes
Reeling like nights that
Kiss and control
All of our broken hearts.
Velvet burns the wrists while restraining.
You blushed and smiled and said you would stay.
One more time seal my breath, I'll feed you the sky.
I will show you how.
Steal the glamour from death and before you die,
oh you should see
City lights, like rain,
Dance and explode,
Fall upon debutantes
Reeling like nights that
Kiss and control
All of our broken hearts.
All our hearts, all our hearts.
"We all wanna die like movie stars", you said
as you jumped from the height of our cutting room floor
while above us, glowing, exploding, our dreams burst forth in light and death.
Hold me and tell me, "We'll burn like stars. We'll burn as we fall.
Watch as city lights dance for us."
City lights, like rain,
Dance and explode.
Fall upon the pain of our lives,
(Reeling from nights that)
As they, kiss and control.
Fall upon the pain of our lives,
As they, dance and explode.
City lights like rain, city lights so caress me!
Kiss and control
All of our broken hearts.

Haha, thanks! I'm glad you like it.
Personally, I don't like this piece very much anymore (I don't like much of anything I did four years ago, haha), but I like to keep it in here so people can see how I've changed my style. ^_^

Thanks.
And, yes, AFI is amazing, and Davey Havok writes the most beautiful lyrics. <3

I know! I like it so much more than, say, "Love Like Winter" (although I do have a "Love Like Winter"-inspired piece on here too) off Decemberunderground.
This is such a beautiful, visceral song - I actually have a lot more images associated with this song, but those will come some other time.

Warn your warmth to turn away, here it's december every day..
Or..
Watch the stars turn you to nothing.
I love both. But Kiss and Control has so much more of a purpose.

Yeah, "Kiss and Control" had a more concrete idea behind it than "Love Like Winter" did, so it works better as a whole song rather than the somewhat poppy chorus of "Love Like Winter".
Actually, I had the greatest idea for a music video for "Kiss and Control"... but that song wasn't popular enough... and I don't have any way of telling AFI my idea anyway. Hahaha.

Thanks. ^_^
This was really just an experiment, though... I don't think I've picked up a definite style yet... <_<

Ah, I see... well, thank you! <3
I want to learn how to digitally paint, but for now, I'll stick to my traditional methods. :]
