Aang: My Body Is A Cage

Description

My body is a cage,
that keeps me from dancing with the one I love,
but my mind holds the key.

-My Body Is A Cage By Arcade Fire

Helloo all! Emo-soundin' pic I know, but I really do like this. Inspired by the song of the same name off of Arcade Fire's new album Neon Bible, which is awesome and I highly recommend it. This is the last track and has a melancholic tragic tone to it, which is wonderfully conveyed by a voice filled with subtle agony and the sound of an organ playing. I really love this track, and I thought of this pic while listening to it.

It really made me think of Aang and the Avatar Spirit. His body's like a cage for the spirit and the whole, "let go of Katara" thing fit in perfectly with the lyrics. Originally I was just going to have a black background to this pic, but I thought maybe being in the hands of the Avatar Spirit would be more appropriate...I'm still not sure. A backdrop of pure might have suited it better...I'm split on the idea. Not exactly sure what inspired the pose...it just seemed right to me. Aang huddled, I dunno...I can't explain it... Garg...

Well, I hope you all like it!

Enjoy,
S'rac
