Music That Inspires the Icons

Eight Letters by Take That

Y'all probably remembered that Take That was my favorite band, well this song is very nostalgic-- but it was also a song to describe how I felt after getting out of my relationship with Jennie. And the icon sort of made itself-- because I don't think that I felt too much hate coming out of that relationship-- perhaps confusion, I mean what was I supposed to do when I had invested 7 years of my life in that relationship. So this is more of an epistle song then really a Laguna song but I think that with my icons, they are extremely personalized, reflecting that which I am going through at any given time.

Your talk on your icons and the music that inspired them is really quite neat...I love how reflective and insightful these posts are, and it is quite awesome how extremely personalized your icons are to you yourself and what you have been through. :D Thank you for talking about them with us! ♥

It's hard for me to mass produce icons, in fact it is hard for me to make any sort of icons unless they come from some place deep inside-- there is a reason behind the words, the colouring, even the placement. It's like introspection and it helps me to go back and go, "Hey, this is what I went through when I made this icon" or 'these were the thoughts swimming through my head'. I think that anyone who does that should really analyze why they did what they did-- just like I love hearing my favorite musicians talk about what inspired songs, it's that spark of creativity.

Thank you so much for reading my posts-- I know they can be silly sometimes lol
