Glossy Blogger Iveta On Her Latest Illustration + The Song That Inspired It!
This illustration was just recently done by moi for my Advanced Illustration class. I really love it because it is linked to a particular song….one that’s also in my top 5 in terms of lyrics.
I guess its really personal in terms of what one sees when looking at an illustration, but the song that was playing in my head when I did this was “Read my Mind” by The Killers, with the particular phrase: “I pull up to the front of your driveway / With magic soakin’ my spine / Can you read my mind?”…anyways, here is the full song, if you didn’t hear it yet, go go now!!! 
On the corner of main street
Just tryin’ to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I’m falling behind
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
I never really gave up on
Breakin’ out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I’m gonna turn this thing around
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
The good old days, the honest man;
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees;
A broken wrist and a big trapeze
Oh well I don’t mind, if you don’t mind
‘Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?
It’s funny how you just break down
Waitin’ on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin’ my spine
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
The teenage queen, the loaded gun;
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, a world unseen;
A city wall and a trampoline
Oh well I don’t mind, if you don’t mind
‘Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shine
Before you jump
Tell me what you find when you read my mind
Slippin’ in my faith until I fall
You never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don’t let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again
She said I don’t mind, if you don’t mind
‘Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shine
Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me
The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind
