If you didn't come here via the previous page (i.e., through a Webring or a search), you might want to know what my song drawings are all about; read about them here.
Paint the Sky With Stars
I drew this on blue paper because it was the closest I had to both a night color and to the color mentioned in the first line: Indigo. This picture, obviously, shows a girl with her hair full of stars, painting them on the sky for the upside-down town below. I drew a woman flying in the sky because of the phrase "So a spirit has to fly," which was the best way I could think of to show some sort of entity "painting" the stars. I don't like the way the girl was drawn, but unfortunately given the time I couldn't do my best work on the detail there so it came out a bit frumpy. It would be a pretty good little idea, though, if I had executed it the way I would have wanted to. This surreal idea of a person actually putting the stars on the sky came about because of the emphasis on dreaming this song has in the lyrics.
Paint the Sky With Stars--lyrics
Suddenly before my eyes
Hues of indigo arise
With them how my spirit sighs
Paint the sky with stars
Only night will ever know
Why the heavens never show
All the dreams there are to know
Paint the sky with stars
Who has paced the midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?
Night has brought to those who sleep
Only dreams they cannot keep
I have legends in the deep
Paint the sky with stars
Who has paced the midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly
As the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?
Place a name upon the night
One to set your heart alight
And to make the darkness bright
Paint the sky with stars.
