...........................................................................
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Without doubts, one of my favorites. The colors and the managing of the contrast are fabulous. The attitude of the man is unsurpassable and is OK with the title. Excellent work.

I love this song, and I love this picture.
I was also thinking of doing a picture to fit this song.
My ideas for a picture are very similar to what you've done.

I love it.

faizan [2006-06-06 08:08:42 +0000 UTC]

that is the stuff i like man/ quality , smoothness. feelings are there.

only one thing which i can contribute is.

to get rid of that lens flare on top. its kind of distracting.
use of blur tool on building to make the image clear and blurred out. then you can really see the distance between two things.
that is. character and enviornment which is tend to be far away.

on left . there i can see transparency kind of building. you can actually erase on picture (on that layer) then you can see the silhouette land.

concept is very similar for what i am doing for my recent book illustration. : )

nice work man.

u listn to these songs, u prolly read the lyrics once or twice too....
but with these manipulations they sound 'completely' diffrnt--with a whole diffrnt and a much more complete feel...
seriously
keep up, man!
