CMC 15:
Love at First Sight
"You're really bored one day, in fact you've been bored for the longest
time. It seems all the days are dull and something feels empty about your
life. For some odd reason, you decide to go outside and walk around the
neighborhood to pass the time. Despite how the sun shines and you see
people having fun all around you, you are not happy yourself. You feel
a little thirsty, so you decide to head into a nearby cafe. You order
a drink and sit down. You glance to your right and you see a girl/guy
sitting all alone. She/he seems to be like you, lonely and tired of life.
Your eyes meet and some strange connection is made. At first, you thought
she/he would be some ordinary person, but at that moment you know that
she/he is the one.
You try to think of something to say, but before you can, your tongue
stops. She/he seems to be having the same problem, and you can tell by
his/her facial expressions. There is a brief moment of silence, but you
finally decide to step it up and say hello. The both of you smile and
it is love at first sight.
This story is just a guideline for those
who want a specific rubric, but it does not necessarily have to be followed.
It can be viewed as a source of inspiration or just as a point-by-point
song guideline."

SSC - "Tonal
Love"
"Love at first sight, wonderful, but unexpected and unpredictable.
Will this one escape too? Will I have to pay for the hospital bill again?"
HoboKa - "Forbidden
Love at First Sight"
"In a cafe in the year 3015, a man born of noble blood has all but
burnt out his joy for life. As he waits in the line to order a latte,
the man couldn't help but notice a particular woman sitting alone on a
table, only several feet away from him. She appears absolutely depressed,
yet her beauty still shone through the saddened expression on her face.
The girl looks into our noble hero's eyes and practically gapes at him;
blushing, she steels her gaze away from him and tries to appear as if
she had never checking him out. Somehow, the man manages to summon the
courage to approach her and asks her name. To his dismay, he discovers
that the woman is of the family that his harsh father is engaged with
in a long and harrowing feud. But our hero cares not, for he realizes
that he loves this women - nay he craves for her amour - as much as he
craves oxygen to live. To him, she is life. Uncaring of the consequences
that may follow from their union - he asks her out on a date and the woman
hesitates not to say yes. Forbidden love at first site."
Elan Hickler - "Exiles
of Time"
"Scientists predicted that in the future, toxic chemicals and war
would destroy the world as we knew it. They were right. To ensure that
humans could survive the future apocalypse, they froze many human subjects,
set to unfreeze one thousand years later.
Let your imagination take you through the sequences of events as you
listen to the music.
Scene #1: It is the year 3115. A man wakes up. He runs out of the laboratory
to a dark city street. The people around him look like emotionless zombies.
No one notices his frantic disposition.
Scene #2: He finds a cafe, grabs a cup of coffee from the dispenser and
sits down at a table. At the corner of his eye he sees someone who looks
distressed. Could it be? His fiancée?
Scene #3: They embrace. They were both unfrozen the same day.
Scene #4: A strange mob of men enter the cafe with rifles and full body
armor. They are after them, the only human subjects who survived the freezing.
They are the ones to re-stimulate the human race. The man and his fiancée
run out a back door."
larsdood - "Fragging
on the Dance Floor"
-Lyrics-
"Although the song is kind of vulgar, the song actually isn't about
fucking on the dancefloor. The text has a few hints as to what the song
is actually about, but let's just say the main character is in a psychedellic
mindset as he enters the club he visits every night, only to see what
he believes to be a Godess on the dancefloor.
He walks over to dance with her, and as she touches him he experiences
her taking him to his wildest imagination, being his guide in his psychedellic
experience. For him, it feels like they are becoming one and it is the
equivalent of fucking, but it was just a touch on the dancefloor. The
spiritual and religious pleasure he experiences can thus be compared to
having an orgasm all over your body, which feels like eternity but lasts
less than a second... And thus he loves her, in the most honest way a
man can love a woman. She opened his eyes."
Jeremy Robson - "Scenes
d'Amour"
"I attempted to keep Blue.Nocturne's scenario in mind while writing
this, but in order to heighten the drama element I felt there had to be
more than just a coincidental meeting between two people. So... wondering
how I could salvage the description, I thought 'what if this occurs at
the end of the movie, right before the credits roll?' All of a sudden
things become more dramatic and ambiguous. Love at first sight, but not
really? Maybe you have this recurring amnesia and fall in love with the
same person over and over again. Sounds kind of gimmicky, but I guess
the climax would have to be when your memory suddenly returns, so the
music can be both sad and uplifting. Ambiguity is definitely my favourite
theme."
Dev - "We
Met One Rainy Afternoon"
"It begins when your eyes first lock, and a small flutter begins
in your head, and then as you realize this is love at first sight, a sweet
melody begins to play, dancing about the same way your mind is now, considering
all the possibilites. As you draw near to first speak, your heart begins
to pound as the melody grows louder; begins to shout that you are falling
for this new person, and as you say the first word that comes to your
mind, all the tension is released, and the pounding of your heart fades
away.
And then a meteor hits the Earth.
Nah, just kidding."
Abadoss - "Anticipation"
"At first sight,
the world swirls around me.
My mind engulfed.
My heart aflame.
In this dearest moment,
I see you
and all melts away.
My love."

as you will."
