Artist's Comments


Mad World
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Mad world



If you havnt heard that song you must, its just awsome.
This image popped into my head while listening to that song, so I think it right that I name it so..

Conceptual.. Well, its more just symbolic.
The rain coming from the inside of the umbrella, is that everyone creates thier own angst by their perceptions. Something you may think is horrible may be a blessing to some.
The flower, i guess, is hope. Something that reaches for you (hence the flower poking through the frame).
I hope it looks ok. It took quite a while :)
I will post an image with the details, because some of them are lost in the whole image, such as the puddle, which I absolutely love :)

Oh, yay! Now I finally know what that song is called. I heard it over a year ago and it's been bugging me. Wonderful picture, by the way.

I like the meaning! It's so true! I see the umbrella as the "world" in which the person lives. In a world full of complaining. And the person wouldn't turn around to see the flower and that everything is better than he/she thinks.

Well, just my interpretation. I like the picture very much, it's beautiful :) !

I heard it a while ago and goggled some of the lyrics :giggle: its on my mp3 player now, cant hear enough of it.
I love listening to it while Im walking around uni because I just watch everyone and what they are doing, and it sort of fits together :)
Thankyou so much :)
