"Tornado" and "Love Before AD" - chicks thunderdome!

[hp]

i'm not sure if they will refund my money that i paid but apparently the top 10 winners of the tdome for the girls will get tuition paid at the workshop. Here are my ideas...I think I will do the "Tornado" one but please help with ideas!

topic: illustrate a song of your choice.

my ideas are based on two songs (sorry for bad translations!!! from chinese to english):

Love before AD (TOP LEFT IMAGE, basically a guy watching a girl touching a black stone carving in a crowd of people, and the reflection is of himself touching her back):

The ancient King of Babylon passed the Hammurabi code of laws
It was carved on black diorite 3700 years ago
You stand before the display, looking intently at the carvings
I stand aside, quietly admiring your face, which I deeply adore
Offerings, alter, war, bow & arrow, whose past do they belong to?
I love how you belong only to me in the midst of this crowd
We pass the Sumerian Goddess
And I wish in the name of the Goddess
My missing goes on like the Tigris River
When what is left of the Ancient Civilization is but an illegible language
The myth becomes a never-ending poem
My love for you has been written before this Century
And it has been buried in the flatlands of Mesopotamia
Uncovered after many centuries
We find the wordings to be still clear & intelligible
My love for you has been written before this century
And it has been buried in the flatlands of Mesopotamia
The promise of forever carved in cuneiform
The promise that has been eroded for thousands of years, will be re-enacted now
I feel exhausted, I am far away from home
I am afraid that I will never be by your side again
Love Before the Century
Love Before the Century



Tornado (a girl is caught in a whirlwind/tornado, her feet are in a whirlpool and a "ghost" of her love is being torn from her):

Love is like a gust of wind; it blows, and then goes away
This kind of rhythm would leave anyone helpless
Without you, my soul goes out of control
The black clouds have descended, they pull me away
Quietly, stealthily, silently leaving
Teetering on the brink of danger
My world is already in a violent storm
ooh~~ Love comes too quickly just like a tornado
Can't escape the whirlwind, can't escape in time
I cannot think again, I cannot think again
I cannot, I cannot, I cannot
Love passes too quickly, just like a tornado
I cannot bear it, I already have no place to hide
I don't want to think anymore, I don't want to think anymore
I don't, I don't, I don't want to think of you anymore
Unconsciously, you have already left me
Unconsciously, I have followed this rhythm
After becoming aware, another autumn has passed
After becoming aware, I should live a good life
Unconsciously, you have already left me


although the "ghost" more like:http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/4409/downref6xj.jpg

i did another sketch but i don't know if i like the idea of the ghosts of the lovers being pulled apart into the black clouds. the figures will follow the form of the tornado (to be added). her feet will be dangling in a whirlpool with dangerous waves and maybe some sharp rocks around her...lots of foam prolly.
