About my design

by bsweber   
For the Lyricize (2) group submission.

Simulated process on white.

Thanks to Joe (isaboa) for organizing all this!



Holland, 1945 by Neutral Milk Hotel



The only girl I've ever loved

Was born with roses in her eyes

But then they buried her alive

One evening 1945

With just her sister at her side

And only weeks before the guns

All came and rained on everyone

Now she's a little boy in Spain

Playing pianos filled with flames

On empty rings around the sun

All sing to say my dream has come



But now we must pick up every piece

Of the life we used to love

Just to keep ourselves

At least enough to carry on



And now we ride the circus wheel

With your dark brother wrapped in white

Says it was good to be alive

But now he rides a comet's flame

And won't be coming back again

The Earth looks better from a star

That's right above from where you are

He didn't mean to make you cry

With sparks that ring and bullets fly

On empty rings around your heart

The world just screams and falls apart



But now we must pick up every piece

Of the life we used to love

Just to keep ourselves

At least enough to carry on



And here's where your mother sleeps

And here is the room where your brothers were born

Indentations in the sheets

Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore

And it's so sad to see the world agree

That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies

All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes.

I have seen many a "piano with something coming out of it" sub on this site before, but none that match the simplicity and sheer jaw-dropping beauty you managed to cram into so few colors. This design sets my brain afire with goodness.

are you from the netherlands?



i am actually living close to the border(near viersen if you might know it).



i think this one is a complete unique one on whole threadless. not just because of the art, design and look, also because of the strong, serious content.



it is very poetic and original. like on of the great canvas of the expressionistic painters of the beginning of the last century.



the only thing i would had improve is the tee color. blank white is often always too flat. and maybe some slight adumbrations of burning ruins placed in the background. but these are specifics.



a great tee!
