Challenge 71
I'm sure you're getting tired of listening to my apologies, just as I'm tired of having to apologize. My life is a little chaotic right now for various reasons, but I have reason to hope that it should calm down. (Please, God, let it calm down! *grin*) I could have had this latest challenge up this weekend, but I figured it was so far delayed already that I might as well hold off until now (Monday) to keep it on a fairly consistent schedule.) Hopefully it will remain constant from now on.
Okay, we haven't had a lyric challenge for awhile, so I decided to try one this week. Let's see whether this sparks some muses.
I went to MPUE's music section, and decided I liked the lyrics to "Trust in Me" by Etta James. They're a little shippery, but there are some non-shippy lines if you'd prefer to go that route.
Trust in Me by Etta James
Trust in me in all you do
Have the faith I have in you
Love will see us through
If only you trust in me
Why don't you, you trust me
Come to me when things go wrong
Cling to me Daddy, oh yeah, and I'll be strong
We can get along, we can get along
Oh, if only you trust in me
While there's a moon, a moon on high
While there are birds, birds to fly
While there is you, you and I
I can be sure that I love you
Oh, stand beside me, stand beside me all the while
Come on Daddy, face the future, why don't you smile
Trust in me and I'll be worthy of you
Oh yeah, yeah, why don't you, you trust in me in all you do
And have the faith I, I have in you
Oh, and love will see us through
If only you trust in me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Why don't you, you come to me when things go wrong
Cling to me and, whoa, and I'll be strong
We can get along, we can get along
Oh, if only you trust in me
Yeah, yeah
The rules special to this challenge are that each icon has to use at least two consecutive words from the song and has to feature someone/something from Without a Trace (i.e. no text only icons). Just like in the last lyric challenges, the icon doesn't have to feature main characters. Other than those two restrictions, be creative!
The Other Rules
**You may submit three icons this week.
**You are free to use any pictures (picture sources can be found in the userinfo), textures, brushes, etc. that you would like.
**You may blend caps and/or animate this week.
**Please submit your icons to this post, both the icon and the url please.
**Don't share your icons until voting is finished.
**Icons are due Sunday, November 26th by 10pm EST. Sunday, December 3rd by 10pm EST. Here is that time converted to other time zones.
If you're new or just want a refresher, feel free to check out the userinfo for a complete set of rules.
Also, if you need any help with entering the challenge there is a tutorial here.
And again, if you have any suggestions, please visit here to make them.
You might have noticed that the deadline is the weekend of American Thanksgiving. I don't think that will be too much of an issue, as there are two full weekends for the challenge and a lot of our members are international, but if anyone has a problem with it, please let me know.
I'm currently working on the backload of banners (jeez, I knew I was far behind, but I didn't realize I was that far behind! Sorry...) so they should be up in the next couple of days. I also have a poll to write, which will almost definitely be up tomorrow.
