Week 2 of the group creative experiment is over. Didn\u2019t have a lot of participation this week, probably because I wasn\u2019t very handy on the Twitter throttle and, well, choosing this song was an experiment unto itself.<\/p>\n
You see, this song (to me) is already about as explicit as a story can get. It spins, it\u2019s glittery, it\u2019s Skittle-colored, it tells the story for you. So what I was going for was to see how you would interpret a story already told in speed-shot liquid neon. (And no, I hadn\u2019t seen the video<\/a> for it until Astrid linked it.)<\/p>\n So here\u2019s the week\u2019s wrapup for Week 2 of the music-prompt group creativity experiment.<\/p>\n Astrid Cruz aka @artistikem \u201cFairground\u201d: I could feel the man\u2019s thoughts spinning like a carousel in turbocharge, all the colored lights blurring\u2014and then that last line that brings you down with a sweet thump of “Oh yeah. She said that.”<\/p>\n Babette James, a scene from work-in-progress As Clear As Day<\/em><\/a>:\u00a0 You took the story of the song and appliqued yours over the top of it, leaving little bits of the song peeping out here and there. Very clever! And better! You\u2019re getting your word count in.<\/p>\n So then here\u2019s Lenox Parker aka @LenoxParker formerly known as\u2014shit, she\u2019ll kill me if I say before she\u2019s ready to out herself\u2014with \u201cLike Every Day in Paris, It Was Raining<\/a>\u201d: OMG you\u2019ve got a theme going with this guy! (This is where I figured it out: \u201cI was totally in love with this man and would have done anything for him at that moment, and in the days, weeks, and months that followed.\u201d)<\/p>\n
