Our little secret

Once again I've compromised an image with a vision I had while listening to music. I think music moves my imagination, as it may with many others. Anyway, there are some specs listed below, as well as the lyrics themselves. Watch the video for on location setup. Enjoy!



The lost art of keeping a secret
~Queens of the Stone Age~


I've got a secret, I cannot say
Blame all the movement to give it away
You've got somethin, I understand
Holding it tightly, caught on command
Leap of faith, do you doubt?
Cut you in, I just cut you out


Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone


Look for reflections, in your face
Canine devotion, time can't erase
Out on the corner, locked in your room
I never believe them and I never assume
Still can't believe there is a lie
Promises promise, an eye for an eye
We've got something to reveal
No one can know how we feel


Whatever you do
Don't tell anyone


I think you already know
How far I'd go not to say
You know the art is gone
And I'm taking this all to the grave..

All I want is... more

I stopped today along my errands run to take a photo I had in mind. I've posted the final image here and on Flickr, along with a video description. (see below)



Something has to change.
Un-deniable dilemma.
Boredom's not a burden
Anyone should bear.

Constant over stimu-lation numbs me
and I wouldn't have
It any other way.

It's not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I don't want it.
I just need it.
To feel, to breathe, to know I'm alive.

Finger deep within the borderline.
Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Relax, turn around and take my hand.
