I love that song!

Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm,
Couplets out of rhyme,
In syncopated time
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs,
Are the borders of our lives.

Yes, we speak of things that matter,
With words that must be said,
"Can analysis be worthwhile?"
"Is the theater really dead?"
And how the room is softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow,
I cannot feel your hand,
You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in the dangling conversation.
And the superficial sighs,
In the borders of our lives.

I like the drawing too-cant wait to see it finished

I love it too.

She is very beautiful.

Natalie Portman

OOOhh.. yea shes a beauty too.. in profile she does look a bit like Angelina to me.. sorry..Clox..its Natalie Portman.. lol hee hee

lol, Ok, I won't. I didn't know that about Marcello. :o) Thanks!

I never said anytihng about good songs =P
I don't think the new background does a whole lot of justice to the piece.

I wasn't sure myself. I kinda got the feeling it was too candy glittery happy bright for her but I needed to hear it from someone else. I think I'll redo.

maybe a backround of a darkly lit room will do. cliche, but usually works.
noremac's only saying that because marcello insulted his poetry.

quote the cello:

I ate a slice of cheese and I was glad,
It was the best slice I had ever had.
Poems suck and are annoying, too,
So go draw something instead of this crap. ;)

I don't like the new background, it takes away from your beautiful subject. I liked the color you had before, but maybe with some different values of it and not solid?

You read my mind. As far as poetry goes, here one of mine from about 10 years ago. It's called "Salamander"

When I sneeze and it sprays my chest
That's the thing I like the best
It makes me feel like a salamander.

This is exactly what I had in mind for a background. How did you do (know) that? I figured you were in working on it when I posted the comment. Something about it has a 1940ish look to it. I love it. :)

Thanks guys. Prshade it.

that's better. lovely reddish shade. kind of changes the feel of the picture.

One of my all-time favourite songs, Axil - and you did it justice. The final version really captures the feelings of "the shadows wash the room", in a way that the earlier versions didn't, leaving the image more disconnected from the song. This brings them back into a connected whole, as a picture and its description should be, IMHO. :) The only flaw is not in the image or its execution, but in the connection between it and the song - because she doesn't look "couched in indifference", but instead intently focused. No insult intended, though -- the piece is gorgeous, regardless.

lovely
