I love this idea! I'm gonna go with "Hey Brother" since it's the song on the list I know best, but damn if it's not a challenge to make a visual with a single person. I'll write the paragraph when I have the HA but I may end up giving up and just listening to a different song on the list with a feeling easier to get across visually

:') guess it ended up as more than a paragraph but ayy

I also went with Hey Brother by Avicii. This is such an amazing song and I have such a strong reaction to it. Today in the UK it is mother's day / mothering sunday and this is the first mother's day that I'm going through without my mum. My mum died in December and I'm still trying to process that. For a short while my mum and I lived in Australia, I was the only one who could drive so I'd drop her off at work before heading to my work. Just because of the way it worked out the distances were quite long, so I made a playlist of fun songs for us to listen to while we were driving along. The weather in Australia was just amazing so I'd have the window down so I could feel the wind on my face and the smell of the warm tarmac.

So this song makes me feel nostalgic, summery, adventurous, and loved. It's hard to make an HA feel like that, but here's my attempt: Private Outfit

I wanted to give you the feeling of the sun on your skin, the wind in your hair, and the warmth of a long day. I burn really easy so hence the pink shoulders :P

I had to do Dance in the Dark by Lady Gaga since I love her so much. This is actually one of my favorite Gaga songs. This song is empowering and features more of a darker theme than her previous album at the time thus the sexy, edgy looking HA.

The song features many allusions to famous people who were known for their beauty/fame but died tragically. That had a role in some of my choices such as the blond hair, beauty mark and background of a spoopy hotel as those are some nods to Marilyn Monroe and Stanley Kubrick (directed The Shining).

The song makes an euphemism of dance to represent sex and how she is only comfortable "dancing in the dark" because of how others pick at her self esteem though on the outside looking in, she seems put together. She feels confident in the dark, confident hidden away. This ties in with the references of famously deceased people because they too were picked apart by the media and had demons and skeletons hidden inside. In the bridge it feels like Lady Gaga is calling upon them and standing with them as an ally. I always interpreted it as her saying "I'm with you. Your legacy won't be forgotten, and that includes the tragic parts of you not just your beauty and fame," and that makes me feel like I too am standing with my fellow allies with broken bits inside.

I went with Eiffel's 65 - Blue

"And everything is blue for him And himself and everybody around 'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen (to listen)"

The main feeling this song brings me is nostalgia, i palyed it daily on a loop my entire childhood and loved it with zero irony. I loved it. I was/am a pretty lonely child with like 1 semi friend who didnt share the same interests as me so I decided to dress the HA in clothes from that era where u could dress weird and have fun and it looked cool to me when i was little but its an era frozen in time that we can't go back to i miss it

Eiffel's 65 - Blue "'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen"

Created this HA awhile ago with this song in mind (Used the first line in my comment when using it). This song for me to brings back memories of younger days when I use to go out and party and the song was popular, now I'm agoraphobic and sit at home with my computer, cats, and VR mates, and don't see anyone from one week to the next, life's a funny ol' thing at times with how it turns out. Anyway HA is meant to represent the singularity of the butterfly, while alone still fierce. Private Outfit

I went with song Eiffel's 65 - Blue The song says blue several times but the song really makes me feel more gray or down. It says I'm blue but I get a sad feeling from the song. Some people even say that the songs words are if I was blue I would die, which would refer to me that they are depressed and that if they were down they might die. So this song makes me feel very sad and gray thus my ha representing how the song makes me feel. Outfit Not Found

Went with Surging Memories by Du Tonc!

Around 0:50 to 1:10 I started reminiscing about when I first moved out to LA and started working in my current field; Was really nervous but also super hopeful as well! I definitely felt a lot of those emotions while hearing this part of the song. It reminded me of starting something new and taking a big leap in a new chapter of your life.

I'm absolutely going with Love Again by Pentatonix <3 <3 <3 <3 I LOVE that video and song and I can't wait to feel my way through an HA based on it. ^_^

Thanks for the fun prompt!

make this deadline!

Alright I finally got around to making the HA. Hope this is good enough, it's real hard to find anything by searching at random. Hey Brother - Avicii:

I've loved this song for a long time both in relation to some specific media I like (Gravity Falls, The Adventure Zone) and in regards to how I feel about my real life sibling (who uses they/them btw), who I think is the single person I am closest to alive at the moment. It gives me a feeling of deep care and of a bond where both would do anything to keep the other safe, but still trust them to let them go out and make their own mistakes, so I tried to bring in that protective aspect into the HA I made. The trans banner is cause my sibling and I are both Trans and it's really gender affirming hearing them call me their brother, and while they're nonbinary and so are neither my brother or my sister, that mostly frees it up for any parts of the song to be about them from me.
