M'kay, so Ive been really getting into music memes lately. But the problem with most of them, in my opinion, is that they limit an artist by either:
A) Giving them a random song which the artist may not be in the mood to draw anything for.
B) Giving them only the length of the song to doodle/sketch/draw their pic.
Both scenarios are ridiculous to me and really arent all that great. So Ive decided to come up with a new type of music meme in the likeness of a [insert series/topic idea] 100.
I call it.....
MUSIC NATION.
So, for MUSIC NATION you have to choose at least 10 artists or bands, could be more, whatever you feel you can do. But 10 is the minimum. Then you choose lyrics or verses from each of those artists'/bands' songs and quote them on your journal. (as I will demonstrate with my list below, once Im done 'splainin'

And each piece of art work for each artist/band must be centered around that specific lyric or verse. Then once you post your work on DA, you must post the lyric in your journal and a link to a Youtube vid with the song on it. Could be the actual music video or an amv, doesnt matter, so long as its the version of the song you were listening to/had in mind with your work.
Each entry can be a different emotion, like my list is pretty down trodden and laced with nostalgia, but it'll feel great to get the emotion out of me and onto paper. ^^
I hope to achive a wider range of music to listen to by doing this and tagging friends of mine to do so as well. So we can all be united under one MUSIC NATION.
