All Cats Are Grey

Description

This oil pastel drawing I made for the Cure song "All Cats Are Grey" from the album "Faith" from 1981.

As you can see on my username it's one of my all-time favourite songs by my favourite band!

For everyone who doesn't know this song, here is the album version (which was also used for the movie "Marie Antoinette" by Sofia Coppola): [link] and a wonderful live version of it (which I listened to when I drew this) is here: [link] ... it's a bit different to the album version but equally beautiful. :love:


And for everyone interested, these are the lyrics:

"I never thought that I would find myself
In bed amongst the stones
The columns are all men
Begging to crush me
No shapes sail on the dark deep lakes
And no flags wave me home

In the caves
All cats are grey
In the caves
The textures coat my skin
In the death cell
A single note
Rings on and on and on ..."

i like this artwork a lot. it gives so wistful, but calm feeling... very emotional.
I love this song very much and it always means very much to me.. but somehow for me it associates with soul-weariness and very deep all-embracing melancholy.. your picture gives me more light, heartwarming emotions... but it's just me :-)
you've done a great job, it's a very inspiring drawing +fave :blackrose:
