So, a very talented young author named Taylor, writing over at Gallery No. 3, did something that took my breath away this evening. She wrote a captivating story that was inspired by and titled after this song, by Agnes Obel. Taylor wrote what this song evoked, mentally and emotionally. I have to say that the idea of utilizing other art forms to create your own is fascinating to me. I'm really, really impressed.
Run over to Gallery No. 3 and read "Wallflower." Listen to the musical track while you do. Believe me, it's worth it!
And then try this yourself! Find a song that gets under your skin, gives you goosebumps, evokes a strong emotional response in you. Then write--free association style. You might be surprised by the results!

Glad you enjoyed that piece, I really did as well...quick correction though, the author is actually female. Easy mistake to make what with those damn gender-neutral names.
ReplyDeleteOh, boy...I was afraid of that name thing. I thought about it and thought about it, and then went with my gut, there. I'll change it asap! Thanks!
