I've been lookin' at the stars tonight And I think, oh, how I miss that bright sun I'll be a dreamer 'til the day I die And they say, oh, how the good die young? -"Spirits", the Strumbellas

Me yesterday: Oh, I like the idea of making drawings of song lyrics I associate with characters, I think I'll do it more.

Me today: Speedrunning this in *checks Procreate stats* a little over three hours? Damn, I thought it was longer.

The top text might be a little hard to read because I couldn't find any colors that would fit with the drawing and were strong enough to read, so it just says "And I don't want a neverending life." In the original song, it's the line directly preceding the line written at the bottom.

Anyway, speedpaint below the cut.

If anyone knows who made the reference picture in the lower lefthand corner at about 0:15, please let me know so I can credit them.

EDIT: The person who made the reference is anorwegan on DeviantArt. The original can be found here. Thank you to @svenskaghost for finding it!

The Strumbellas - Hold Me (Official Video)

5 Oct 2023

Directed by Christopher Smets

Produced and Mixed by Ben Allen

Mastered by Greg Calibri and Steve Fallone - Sterling Mastering

Engineer: Tomas Uribe

Assistant Engineer: Greg Meadowlark

Lyrics:

One day, it’ll all make sense

When the love is gone

And the money’s spent

One day, when we feel again

Count the lines on my face

Remember when

So I’ll stand

Like a guard at night

With my fists up

I was born to fight

Don’t have a plan

Just starry nights

My best friend

My dead-ly vice

So hold me

I don't want to be lonely

Wishing somebody told me

Things are not as they seem

Guide us

From the shadows that hide us

Leave your worries behind us

Find our own way to love

The world, is a scary place

Feels like home

But I’ve moved away

And the week it crumbles into the night

I wake up wondering

If I’m alright

So I’ll stand

While the heavens fall

For your love

I’d risk it all

Ain’t nothing out there

To make us whole

Gimme shelter

To save our souls

So hold me

I don't want to be lonely

Wishing somebody told me

Things are not as they seem

Guide us

From the shadows that hide us

Leave your worries behind us

Find our own way to love

Don’t let me down

Don’t let me down

Don’t let me down

Don’t let me down

Don’t let me down

Don’t let me down

Don’t let me down

Don’t let me down

So hold me

I don't want to feel lonely

Wishing somebody told me

Things are not as they seem

Guide us

From the shadows that hide us

Leave your worries behind us

Find our own way to love

So hold me

I don't want to be lonely

Wishing somebody told me

Things are not as they seem

Guide us

From the shadows that hide us

Leave your worries behind us

Find our own way to love

every time i go to the strumbellas' instagram page, i am reminded that the only other person i follow who follows them is noah kahan. i see his little icon and username and give him a mental fist bump bc in that moment i feel we are buds. like he gets it.
