I might be a little late on this train...but wow...such a beautiful piece. I wanted keep it nice and spacious. It helped to see the dancing videos. Thank you for giving us this.

I don't know WHY this won't work on here.  I've been trying to get this uploaded for DAYS.  Hope this finally works.

I've kinda lost my musical mojo of late, so this if my first attempt to get back into music.

I was inspired by HayleyElise's and shanaynaynaomi's illustration..and megancarne's stunning music!

Any feedback would be much appreciated, feel like I am stumbling in the dark a little at the moment!

Gather round closer and before I forget

I will tell you the tale of the Marionette

And though beauty bloomed in the strokes of her face

Her puppeting heart was where magic took place

Marionette all tangled in strings

Like a bird in a cage they tied up her wings

Dance on little puppet girl you'll never be free

From the hands that keeps you from liberty

Filled up with stuffing her stitching was torn

So sat the marionette sad and alone

All night the button tears fell from her eyes

As she wished for her freedom on stars in the sky

One day she summoned her courage and gall

To cut free from her fastenings once and for all

To soar and to dance wherever she pleased

She took some old scissors and cut herself free.

This is a poem I wrote called Secrets of the Night Sky.

Here's the text:

Flower children dance between the moons 

kicking off their shoes to feel their feet running 

free, stringing stars to adorn themselves in wild

costumes, and breaking through

unknown astronomical layers lost in the wild

night sky. And while they're running

free, the nighttime dreams of moons

moons running wild

through

wild running moons

I would love it if this had animation, music, whatever, so get your remix on!

I added more of you howlers into the mix at the end.  Still looking for more howlers to contribute!  I have a large plan for this song and I can't really get to mixing the finishing touches until I put a cap on the howlers.  So.  If you want to howl for this song, get on it by the weeks end and don't forget to source the recod so I can find you and source you back in the final product.  Planning on putting up a "final" mix on Monday night.  At least as far as being ready for sundance goes. 

lyrics:

milky skin kissed with moonlight

apple cheeks, pert and flush

strawberry hair, creamy fingers

in the trees a hush

there are wolves in the woods (x4)

I'm not really an animator myself, but I thought I'd just give it a go. I wanted to do something a little sinister because of the wolf. I just adore it. ;D

Excerpt of Billy Bell's Lunge Dance Collective's "Amber" (2010)

Dancers: Chelsea Thedinga and Gage Self

Tara Langdon and Jeremy Coachman

Ali Castro and Alex Cottone

Shelby Colona and Ryan Spencer

Sydney Lotuaco and Jeremy Coachman 

Choreography by: Billy Bell

Made this for no good reason. I pictured a '77 Firebird (black, of course) driving off into the sunset..... and so should you.

Inspired by Drive..... obviously. :)

It's rough, but I think it has potential.  ;)  Feedback, requests, et cetera always welcomed.

Lyrics:

Like autumn leaves I'm falling

Tumbling to the ground for you

Lost a hold of where I've once been

Captured by a gust of you

Swept away by you

Made to dance in your breeze

Left to flutter aimlessly

Like autumn leaves I'm falling

I'm falling for you

Helplessly I'm falling

I'm pulled away by you

Like autumn leaves I'm falling

I'm falling

I'm falling

I'm falling
