rose with a broken neck

 

As soon as I heard Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi song with Jack White, 'Rose with a Broken Neck' from their album 'Rome', I knew I was going to do this drawing and watercolor. 

If you would like a listen to the song, here it is and the lyrics as well:

Lonely I see

Lonely I lead

Lonely I feel

Lonely I bleed

Lonely I trust

And lonely I must

Be the rose with the broken neck

The plow on the farm

The train on the track

The tracks on my arm

The train in a wreck

That's when they all seem to swarm

Not when you are all alone

In your home with the broken neck

Help myself to a drink

Help myself to the sink

The dogs start to moan

And the crows start to peck

At my eyes and down at the ground

Oh and it shows

I'm the rose with the broken neck

Lonely I see

Lonely I lead

Lonely I feel

And lonely I bleed

Lonely I trust

And lonely I must

Be the rose with the broken neck

P.S. Thanks for all the love for the new header! I like it too ;)

to be alone with you

I'd swim across lake Michigan

I'd sell my shoes
I'd give my body to be back again
In the rest of the room

To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you

You gave your body to the lonely
They took your clothes
You gave up a wife and a family
You gave your goals

To be alone with me
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
You went up on a tree

To be alone with me you went up on the tree

I'll never know the man who loved me

*to be alone with you by sufjan stevens*

floating, spring walks and sounds

Floating in the night sky

I forget how much I enjoy Spring until it's here. Walking alone in the neighborhood today really reminded me. Even though the sky was gray and mist forming to signal the rains coming soon, it was beautiful. All the colors of the flowers and trees. Simple things really, but in so many ways it's not. While walking today I was listening to my Ipod and the music wasn't new but still very refreshing.
