When I feel a bit down and sad, this is what always makes me feel alright. I know - it's supposedly a sad song, it's a song about a breakup, it's a song about wanting someone the best even though it doesn't mean you... But what it means to me makes me feel alright. The feelings it invokes in me makes me feel safe. I feel comfortable. And I appreciate what I have so much more. I love the mellow songs from Pearl Jam. Yellow Ledbetter, Last Kiss....and this one.... Black...if you get the chance, do check out the mellow songs of PJ. And oh. A layout I did yesterday after a challenge to use all black/white and only one color from the picture.Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I stare
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures sad, all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I will be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine
