Competition: The Pictures in the Sound - 13

Finished
The Pictures in the Sound - 13

Objective

One of the best examples of music coming before the image would be the original Conan The Barbarian film. That film's score was created prior to filming beginning. As a result, the scenes were altered and filmed to fit the score in a way that hadn't been done prior. This shows that sound—most notably music—instills an image in the listener.

Listen to the provided song and draw a depiction of what you see in your mind's eye. The goal of this competition is to capture the emotions that it evokes within. At a bare minimum, your entry must have a clear focal point beyond simple abstracts. That means entries cannot be a simple application of a few colors and no shapes akin to simple country flags

Textual submission

The tones of the piano represent falling cherry petals.
The string parts are symbolized by detached petals.
The characters represent the choir.
The pain is represented by a grave and a coffin.
And the overall picture is completed by a dark heavy sky and a thick veil of rain.
