"Golden Boy" by Natalie Merchant

Top of the fold
Toast of the town
Everyone stops when you come around
They hold their breath for you

Heroes are born
Idols are made
We're all fools for this factory fame
And you've got the brand new face

You've got the brand new face
Golden boy

Beauty untamed
Stupid and wild
Poster boy, you're society's child
Cut your teeth
Cut your mouth
Cut it out

Meteor rise from obscurity
All it took was a killing spree
And the whole world was lying at your feet
Golden boy

I know my place
Stick to my lines
Stay in your shadow
Don't block your light

So you can shine divine
Golden boy

I absolutely love this song, and I wanted to share it, and feature some artists that have works that go along with it. It's a great song to describe *kilderok and ~m-buggie's character, Morgan in their original science fiction novel, Project Arcana. Project Arcana, is submitted at ~m-buggie's account, but quick links to the actual literature can be found Project Arcana Library. Illustrations can be found Project Arcana Original Art.

The features that I chose look to me like they describe Morgan, not all will fit to the song, but some of them do

Now on to the features!

I chose this one because it is an actual drawing of Morgan, and I think it represents him very well. It shows him by himself in the city, which he likes to do quite often.

This one looks like a young Morgan, alone thinking which he does quite frequently. I think its a great picture to describe him as a young child, after he lost his mother.

In this picture, it shows a young man loading his gun, and it looks like Morgan what with the auburn hair and the black get up. It even has the city in the background, and it looks like the city of Nowhere, especially because it is all gloomy and raining. Fantastic job! This is a photo manipulation that was made from a stock image of ~Cobweb-stock's, he deserves credit as well because he is such a Morgan look alike.

This is totally Morgan. The malicious eyes hiding in the dark with a sinister laugh.

Minus the extra muscles and you got Morgan! Ready to shoot anything, you better watch it! I love this picture because it was drawn and it looks exactly like a person! Well done! This is drawn with ~Cobweb-stock picture as a reference.
