Day 45" Piledriver Waltz"~ Alex Turner/Arctic Monkeys

The reason for the artist confusion is because I have seen listed as an Arctic Monkey's song and a song by Alex Turner (the lead singer) as a solo. In the film Submarine Alex Turner did all the music for it, this song played at the very end. The lead girl Jordana wears the red coat throughout most of the film. Most of the people in this film don't wear red so this coat made her stand out throughout the entire film. The lead boy Oliver wore a coat for most of the film too, but the color didn't stand out as much as Jordana's coat because others wore similar colors. I think the choice of the red coat was to make Jordana stand out to the audience like how Jordana stood out in Oliver's eyes. Getting a bit off track now... you should watch this film (I'm pretty sure it is on Netflix)

Here is the picture I based this off of:

The song:

Day 44 "Skyfall"~ Adele

Welp

I was watching the new James Bond movie Skyfall and I really enjoyed it to the point where I wanted to draw it so I used Adele's song for the movie (which is great by the way, I'm glad the radio doesn't play it/play it out). It was one of those drawings that looked better as a sketch and when you went over it in pen it looked like fecal matter.

the song:

the lyrics are if you can't read it (yes I copied and pasted it what do you want from my life):

"For this is the end

I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away, I'm stolen

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall
That skyfall"

Day 43 "Anti The ∞ Holic"~ Vocaloids Rin Kagamine and Luka Megurine

I KNOW IT IS IN JAPANESE BUT STILL READ/LISTEN PLEASE!

Anti the Infinite Holic is a song done by vocaloids. If you have no idea what a vocaloid is a singing voice synthesizer the user would buy a vocaloid with a certain voice, each voice has their own character design and name. The user would then choose the melody and lyric and would make songs using the voices they have. Although it was started by an English company it really took off in Japan. The girl with the yellow hair is the vocaloid Rin Kagamine, if you buy her you get her twin brother's voice Len Kagamine. The Pink haired lady is Luka Megurine. I used to be into vocaloid a lot more in middle school but this song in particular I still listen to. Because they are computer programs you can make them sing at amazing speeds and vocal ranges, this song really shows that. 

The lyrics in English are:

"Those who have and those who don't 

will one day both arrive at the end of the road

Dead ends standing still,

depending on their paths,

they'll commit a folly known as autonomy"

Please don't let the Japanese turn you off. Listen:

Fun fact: I'm kind of teaching myself Japanese (with Rosetta Stone)

Day 43 "Climbing Up the Walls"~ Radiohead

Sorry the quality of the photo isn't great today (or any day for that matter).

I originally wasn't going to collage the lock but I had an AP English assignment where I had to make a collage about gender roles using a quote from Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll's House. I had all the magazines out so I thought "Why not?"

the song:

Day 42 "The Reckless and the Brave"~ All Time Low

yup.

The song: 

Day 41 "Don't Worry We'll Always Be Watching"~ Gotye

aaaa

This didn't come out the way I had hoped. I got new ink and nibs and it turns out this sketchbook doesn't appreciate ink very much. What a bummer. When I finish this sketchbook I'll have to invest in a better one. I don't even know if you can see that it is a big black shadow with eyes and mouths. 

When you hear "We'll always be watching" that sounds kind of creepy at first (like Santa Claus),  but this song is more of the "We are looking out for you. We will protect you." kind of way (to me at least,watching the music video may make you feel different). I feel this way about posters. Some people don't like posters because they think they are creepy and staring at you all the time, but I find it almost comforting. Somebody is always watching over me (I have way too many posters on my walls. Mostly band related.)

The song:

Day 40 "Hit Me Baby One More Time"~ Brittney Spears coverd by The Dresden Dolls and Brendon Urie

I CAN EXPLAIN. I WASN'T JUST JAMMING OUT TO BRITTNEY SPEARS I WAS LISTENING TO A GOOD COVER OF IT BY THE DRESDEN DOLLS AND BRENDON URIE OKAY?
