Blue Veins by The Raconteurs

The grey skies have got me down.  This song by The Raconteurs got me out of it.

Listen, I ALWAYS have music playing.  I don't just post songs to flush out my blog posts.  This is just how much music means to me and always has.  You ever hear of that theory that if you're feeling down, listen to something that correlates and it will bring you up?  I think it's true.  Anyway, I felt better after listening to this 12 times in a row. Ha!  Truth is, the last week and 1/2 I have been watching/playing on my computer, "It Might Get Loud," the 2008 film about music--the love of the guitar, mainly--featuring Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White.  Wait, what does that have to do with anything?  Oh yeah, there was about a 2.5 second clip on "Blue Veins" so I had to listen to the entire thing.  That's how I got here.  Glad I clarified that for myself!

Here's what I drew while listening to it.  I could have done something productive, like get my tax receipts in order, but, uh, no.  Not happening.  I suppose it might look scary to some, but you can't worry about that.  If I did, I wouldn't be drawing/painting anything.

The Grammy's are just under an hour away--hope you're going to be watching them with me.


Blue Veins - Raconteurs Live in Holland
This concert is phenomenal--thank you mlove87 for posting it!  
See my post on "Bang Bang" and/or "Ax Man" for another spectacular song.   
Wish I could have been there...

  1. I've always loved music. I grew up listening to classical, Broadway/movie musical,50s 'Pop' and then came the British Invasion. In my next life, I'm going to be a musician and producer like George Martin.Love your artwork, and yes, I'll be watching with you.

    1. I know, Pattie! You are a musical soul sista'! I could not live without music. It makes my heart soar, moves me to tears, and sets my soul flying through the air. It feels like lifeblood to me. I'm glad you agree. (-: P.S., Annie Lennox was SO phenomenal at the Grammy's. UNBELIEVABLE! She showed everyone how it's done!
