Oh my lord
Take this soul
Lay me at the bottom of the river
The devil has come to carry me home
Lay me at the bottom
The bottom of the river


Oh my lord
Take this hand
Save me from the gallows
Hear this news
Bear my gold
Lay me in the shallows
Evil comes if you call my name
The wicked, they shall rise
The river sand's gonna wash me clean
The river don't run dry

These two verses are self explanatory :)

She's floating in the river as the heavenly rays take her soul and the devil's hands come up from the bottom of the river to drag her down.

I was going for a mixture of literal and what the song is realistically about. According to the singer she says that the song is about america's society...so with that in mind what's the most meaningless thing in america? Memes! So story is her standing between two exhibits, one of memes and the other about wildfires. She's face palming because the wildfire (the more important) exhibit is closing but the memes (meaningless) exhibit stays open.

Once again our poor Lillian has fallen for the wrong man.
Beaten and bruised she dropped out of college.
Many years later after finally escaping her nightmare she was able to rejoin college and get her degree.
On her graduation day she looks back at what was for a brief moment before stepping toward a brighter future.

The doctor came into the room to give bad news that the patient is dying. However this was not the case, the patient's soul stands behind her husband trying to comfort him while also trying to tell the doctor, "wait can't you see I'm not dead I'm still alive, haven't you hurt my husband and me enough? I WILL SURVIVE!"

Mizzie – Ah! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. You’ve setup the scene perfectly and it’s easy to tell what is going on and how it connects to the song in a unique way, not to mention visually powerful. You just need some brightness filters on the image, but otherwise superb job!

Jen – I think this was my favourite for this round. It shows a reflection of her past traumatic life and how she now is victorious and having her looking back tells an awesome story of how she survived and her past life where she thought she wouldn’t make it out of her past life alive. Love this shot and you wouldn’t even need the lyrics to know what is going on in this shot. Well done!

Mizzie - I love that it looks like they are actually walking out of the dark and away from that abusive man towards a brighter future, it’s a really cool effect that you made! Is that a tree trunk behind him though? I can’t tell what that is, hahaha!

Jen – I see where you went with this great shot. Merging out of her dark past into a new and blossoming world. Nice interpretation of the lyrics. The shot works well with the lyrics and could have many meanings, including those in this song.

Mizzie - I love the creativity in this! It’s powerful and really throws a curveball at the viewer, especially when comparing this to the song. Awesome job!

Jen – I like the story this shot tells and it fits well with the lyrics, and it could also mean she has passed and telling the medical staff not to give up on her and to bring her back. Well done. This shot could have many interesting meanings.

Mizzie - Your blending with the plants was really well done, and I like the environment you went with. While you took a more literal approach to the song your idea was excellent and well executed. I’m not sure what you used on her or what the goal was, but I am seeing some discoloration around the face and chest, probably saturation? If it was to make her blue, use a regular blue filter. Great work though!

Jen – I think your take on the tree blossoming in the harsh surroundings, however beautiful depicts the lyrics well. I love the expression on her face, it shows a victory over harsh circumstances and suits the song very well.

Mizzie - I love how well she stands out from the barren and monotone wasteland with her pink aura and pink outfit. She looks absolutely gorgeous! I just with there was a bit more creativity in this, but it’s a nice photo overall.

Jen – It certainly looks like she has managed to survive the devastation of the world around her. It would have been good to see her before and after shot. As it is, she looks a bit just placed there onto a drought-ridden world. I totally get what you were trying to convey, however.

My interpretation: Bringing out and letting go of your inner demons so that you can start something new and move on. And thinking about the movie, Constantine, and how he used a mirror to capture a demon. I put the two together to show her releasing her inner demon (literally).

Mizzie – Interesting idea to go with contrasting elements, and that even though they love each other they can’t be together. If you had added melting effects that would have really topped this off! Great job!

Jen – I love your concept behind this one and their expressions say it all. I like how you represented the lyrics about the different seasons in the background too. It could have been even more effective if she looked like she was morphing into a lion with claws and wild hair, but the overall effect is great and tastefully done.

Mizzie - That creature is so creepy! This was definitely not something I ever expected to see, so kudos for the creativity! I’m not sure if it was intended or not, but the demon looks like it’s leaving the mirror too, which makes it fit even more to the lyrics and idea. Great job!

Jen – Your interpretation is different and not as literal as the others and I like the meaning behind your thoughts. The “bring the lion out” could be interpreted in a couple of different ways. It could mean bringing out the lion to fight her inner demons or the lion is the demon she is trying to fight so I like the way you represented this one and you used the special effects beautifully. Well done.

Mizzie - Whoa, you did an awesome job on those effects! I would have liked to see more story to this though, and he does look more scared than ready for a fight, I’m assuming he at least was meant to be prepared for one.

Jen – I like the intensity of this shot and the fire lion is a great effect. I can see where you were going with this, but he looks more defeated than ready for a fight, and the reflection of the fire behind him could have been a bit more hazy, however that is just my interpretation. Your overall shot fits very well with the song and the lyrics you chose to represent.

Mizzie - She looks like an ice queen which makes for an interesting contrast between her looks and powers. The editing could definitely use some work in this as everything needed to be blended better, but overall good entry!

Jen – I love the effect of the fire in the background and on the ground under their feet. I feel the fire could have been a little more blended, but you covered the lyrics very well. The lion looks a little too “cut out” and placed but it’s a great shot.

Mizzie - I’m not entirely sure where you were going with this from your lyrics and her skin, but it seems like he might be praying on her like a lion, which was a good route to take, just wish there was more to this overall. I like the setup and their styling though!

Jen – This is a great interpretation. I can see where you were going with the lyrics you chose and the wild child above her brings in the lion lyrics in well. The background is very African and it suits the overall shot with the male dressed that way, but the meaning behind the diamonds in the skin is not all that clear to me.
