This was a challenge to myself to remove an artist's block: see how many song titles I can cram into one picture, with limited colours. In just over an hour, this it what I managed:

 - Pageant of the Bizarre, Violet Hill, Magic, Fields of Gold, Death and All His Friends, The Chronicles of Life and Death, Wavin' Flag, From the Sea, White Shadows, 'Til Kingdom Come, After the Storm,The Devil's Tears -

The symbol in the Contortionist's hand is the Ankh, hieroglyph for The Key Of Life. The one around the Unicorn's neck is the Amenta, hieroglyph for the Underworld.

Just a few clarifying points. Yes, the colouring is messy. It was deliberate. No, the unicorn and contortionist are not meant to be shaded. Yes, there is a blue spot, deliberately.

 

Interpret as you wish.

Interesting picture. It’s like circus meets supernatural

Wow, cool. I honestly don’t know whether it’s uplifting or slightly scary. Never seen a piece of art like that before, and that’s the truth! xD I think you did an amazing job with this. And you did it in like an hour? GENIUS.
