This is one of my favourite challenges! Thanks to all who voted for my cover #97 & it's great to host the next Album Cover Challenge...
SO here's how it works:
1) Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/main_Page and clink on the link for "Random Article" on the top left side of the page. The first random article you get is the name of your musician(s) or band.
2) Next go to the http://www.quotationspage.com and click on "Random Quotes" from the left menu. Go down to the bottom of the page. The last 4 to 6 words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
Please remember that you need to use at least the last 4 words of the quote.
3) Then find or take a photo that fits your artist and and your album title. You are allowed to edit to your heart's content on this challenge so go for it! You can use any photo processing program of your choice, but the photo(s) must be yours. It does not have to be taken during the time frame of the challenge. This gives you a chance to look through your archives for a suitable shot.
Remember, albums are square, so use a square crop!
** BONUS - To add a little interest, you can choose to add a short description of what style/genre of music you think your band/artist would play in the details that go with your picture.
4) You can post more than one entry, with the same quote/band, or different.
6) You are encouraged (but not required) to post your album cover(s) in this discussion thread. This helps keep the discussion visible. To do so, click on the three dots on the bottom right of your post and then copy and paste the embed code on to the comment box below. Your picture will appear in the discussion once you click on "post comment".
7) The challenge starts 14 November and runs until 5th December . I will select the finalists and post them for voting shortly thereafter. The winner will have the honor of hosting the next album cover challenge.

Title: Still Be Things Left Unsaid
Quote:
I think about how there are certain people who come into your life and leave a mark. The ones who are as much a part of you as your own soul. Their place in your heart is tender; a bruise of longing, a pulse of unfinished business. Just hearing their names pushes and pulls at you in a hundred ways, and when you try to define those hundred ways, describe them even to yourself, words are useless. If you had a lifetime to talk, there would still be things left unsaid.

Title: Getting hold of me

"In summer, the song sings itself."
