As the sun comes up, as the moon goes down
These heavy notions creep around
It makes me think
Long ago I was brought into this life, a little lamb
A little lamb
Courageous, stumbling
Fearless was my middle name
But somewhere there I
Lost my way
Everyone walks the same
Expecting me to step
The narrow path they've laid
They claim to
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me
High
Say "keep within the boundaries if you want to play"
Say "contradiction only makes it harder"
How can I beWhat I want to be?
When all I want to do is strip away
These stilled constraints
And crush this charade
Shred this sad masquerade
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
If I have a bag of rocks to carry as I go
I just want to hold my head up high
I don't care what I have to step over
I'm prepared to look you in the eye
Look me in the eye
And if you see familiarity
Then celebrate the contradiction
Help me when I fall to
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold my love me or leave me
High...

Hello, what an interesting blog! I like the drawing as well and the lyric of Walk Unafraid seemed very personal to me, when R.E.M. came with UP in '98. Oh dear, 10 years age.. thank you for such a beautiful reminder!
Nice. Ankara, That's as exotic to me as Texas might be to you.
Just wanted to say hi there,
Alan
fabulous blog! your artwork is inspiring me to get back to the drawing board, or canvas...thanks for checking my blog out and i'll be back to yours often! :)
oh, and i too love REM!
Beautiful drawing... it almost makes me want to go back to it. I haven't traced a face in so long.
R.E.M. (love love love the band!)
Thank you for such lovely comments! i love R.E.M ,last year they came Turkey and i went to the concert which was amazing.. before, i knew them but didn't listen this much but after the concert i was fascinated by the energy they reflect to the audience- especially michael stipe-and i became a faithful listener of the group :)
MatusM: those lyrics certainly mean a lot,and it's a perfect song to sing out loud =)i can't believe how late i discovered this song. it's like a good summary of existance.
tiffany: i was listening this song when i drew this picture of boy and his mom, and while drawing i suddenly felt like i was refecting the soul of the song to the paper- i don't know why- so i decided to put the lyrics of "walk unafraid" below the picture.
avant garde: i'm glad you're inspired from my work! drawing makes me feel relaxed and nice. you totally should start drawing again,it makes world even a better place.
I really like it!
How great you are at Ankara.
I wish I could visit your country.
Ana
