Inspired by the album 'Beautiful Freak' (by the great rock band Eels), I created my own interpretation of these songs in black & white drawings. By cutting and pasting these graphics into a ppt-file and setting it to the song 'Flower', I made this melancholic video... Hope you Eels fans like it!
Turn the ugly light off god
Wanna feel the night
Everyday it shines down on me
Dont you think that I see
Dont you think that I see what its all about
Hard to look the other way
While the world passes me by
And everyone is trying to bum me out
Its a pretty big world god
And I am awful small
Everyday they rain down on me
Flower in a hailstorm
Flower in a hailstorm
Im living for the drought
I could throw it back at them
But then I play their game
Everyone is trying to bum me out
When I came into this world they slapped me
And everyday since then Im slapped again
Tomorrows king: an unsightly coward
You see, I know Im gonna win
Turn the ugly light off god
Dont wanna see my face
Everyday it will betray me
Dont you think that I know
Dont you think that I know what theyre talking about
If they step on me tonight
Theyre gonna pay someday
Everyone is trying to bum me out

Great drawings. What medium do you prefer? Eels say it like they are quoting from my mind; Iove this band.
Cheers!

Very nice. I dig the art. Always a fan of B+W stuff. What was the original medium?
