Artist's Comments

Grey Street-Dave Matthews Band

Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street

She thinks, “Hey,
How did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times around the world,
But I can’t get out of this place”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears "IT" doesn’t listen
There’s still a hope in her "IT" might

She says, “I pray
But they fall on deaf ears,
Am I supposed to take it on myself?
To get out of this place”

There’s loneliness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

There’s a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
Make them as real as anything
It’d take the work out of the courage

But she says, “Please
There’s a crazy man that’s creeping outside my door,
I live on the corner of Grey Street and the end of the world”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It’s more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
It breaks her heart
To grey


The song made me want to draw. And....I wanted to share, because I haven't submitted any drawings lately.
So ja.

I like it. the way the colors are "bleeding" versus the grey, the composition...

life can feel like that sometmies... some day are humdrum toils you wish were more colorful and exciting. Especially as an artist, I see places and people that are so drab I want to paint their worlds for them.

It's a pity this hasn't received more attention.

This is an excellent piece. It's well composed-- I like the anonymity of the people in the background, and the use of colour versus the grey is superb, especially as a frame. I would possibly fiddle with the tones around the edge, though, since they almost seem too wild, in my opinion.

However, excellent interpretation. I love it. Well done. :)

Beautiful! I was just listening to DMB and decided to see what I could find when I searched them on dA. SO glad I stumbled onto this. It's just awesome!
