The Music of the Night

[Fiddelysquat]

Night time, sharpens, heightens each sensation...
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night...

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour.
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing, music is deceiving
Hard as lightning, soft as candlelight
dare you trust the music of the night...

Close your eyes, for your eyes will only tell the truth
And the truth isn't what you want to see.
In the dark it is easy to pretend
that the truth is what it ought to be.

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you...
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you...

Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
in this darkness which you know you cannot fight
- the darkenss of the music of the night...

Close your eyes, start a journey through a strange new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Close your eyes and let music set you free...
Only then can you belong to me...

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation...

Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
to the power of the music that I write
- the power of the music of the night...

You alone can make my song take flight
- help me make the music of the night...





I was totally inspired to draw this when I was listening to my Phantom of the Opera music. I love that song. It's rather beautiful. I suggest you listen to it.

I first must say: I love Phantom. This image suits this song so wonderfully well. The colors are so appropriate and soothing, with the little pinpoints of stars shining through. However, the line where the dark blue crosses into her body bothers me a little; if the transition between the two hues was subtler, I think it'd bother me less. But that's just my opinion! Overall, I like it: nice colors, beautiful face on the girl, and it's great to see people inspired by such music.

Omg...my favorite song of all times....and my tryout song! I adore this picture. It's so simple, but elegant and absolutely GORGEOUS. The shading and anatomy is perfect, the coloring is so smooth and soothing. It's just what I think of when I practice that song. You are truly an amzing artist.

Aaah! Dude! You got my heart beating audibly, there. I thought I'd see some PPTer fanart besides my own, ne? And it is, sort of, like song-fanart...

Very pretty. Reminds me of that thing from Fantasia 2000, with the Earth spirit...

Hey! You posted the version I prefer! (I like the hard as lightning part, but the "Close your eyes, for your eyes will only tell the truth and the truth isn't what you want to see -- in the dark, it is easy to pretend that the truth is what it ought to be" is so... very... Erik.

Poor Erik.

Anyway, very MOTN! Post more, yes. I came up with some stuff while listening to other POTO stuff.... like Masquerade, and Stranger Than You Dreamt It. Never drew anything; just got ideas. XD

[Fiddelysquat]

I think I'll do "Think of Me" next. I LOVE that song!

[.:Requiem:.]

OMG you keep picking my tryout songs! Next you'll be doing something for Century Plant...<.<

Anyway, I do quite hope to see something from Think Of Me. It's a little high so I may not try out with it, but...yeah, random. Whatever. It would be totally gorgeous I'm sure.

Aww, thanks. Anyway, as for it being too high, you could always pull a Carlotta and croak when you can't hit the note. XD

XD Oh my. Co-ack! I like that word. It's... so very... toad-ish. I mean, croak works, but Co-ack is just rawksome... yes, yes, that could be fun!

Dangit Fidds, you've inspired another Insane Phantom Idea.

[.:Requiem:.]

Uh-oh, watch out Fidds, inspiring Eo can be a veeerrry dangerous thing...

Anyway, if I pulled a Carlotta at tryouts I'd have to jump off the stage and kill myself...or hang myself from the light fixture.....or pull a phantom and spend the restof my days in hding under the stage

Since the mask is his shtick we could buy you your own trademark outfit piece. I'd suggest either a bolo tie or leg warmers, but they don't seem to be very intimidating...

[Eo]

Dern right, Requiem!

Heeey. Your name is Requiem... >D As in, "Talking of death, I must sing his requiem!"

*hem*

I suggest glowing yellow eyes. I don't know how this could be achieved, but it's a nice trademark.
