Description
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you, I'm lost without you
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you

And from the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But every step I thought of you
Every footstep only you
Every star a grain of sand
The leavings of a dried up ocean
Tell me, how much longer,
How much longer?

They say a city in the desert lies
The vanity of an ancient king
But the city lies in broken pieces
Where the wind howls and the vultures sing
These are the works of man
This is the sum of our ambition
It would make a prison of my life
If you became another's wife
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you

And I have never in my life
Felt more alone than I do now
Although I claim dominions over all I see
It means nothing to me
There are no victories In all our histories
Without love

(...)
I'm lost without you, I'm lost without you

And though you hold the keys to ruin of everything I see
With every prison blown to dust my enemies walk free
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you
(Sting "mad about you")


All photos that can be seen and that I used in this manip are my own, no stocks used.
I tried to do something totally different from my usual style...this beautiful song from Sting inspired me and I had those kitschy book covers in mind. So I tried this out.....tell me if you like.

Enjoy

The genius that is Sting. Soul Cages is one of my favorite albums and this is a beautiful song. Lovely interpretation.

somebody's very impatient

you know i love this.. though i think it could perhaps take some little re-iditing, mainly on the flower, which is unexplainably bright, and flat-litted. It could have some dark parts and some highlights so as to look slightly more real..

overall i love it though!

betrittst du neues terrain? dann hast du den ersten schritt wirklich sehr gut gemeistert. extrem gut wie du die dinge kombiniert hast. besonders wie du die licht stimmung hinbekommen hast - sehr gut und weider soo.

Sehr schâne Manipulation! Mußte bei dem Text irgendwie an Tragic Kingdom von No Doubt denken, weiß nicht warum. Finde das du das mit dem Licht sehr schân hinbekommen hast!

That's my fav song!

Dear, this is fantastic. Lighting and perspective are brilliant . It's very emotional work, like she longing for someone or something.
