Frozen in the place I hide
Not afraid to paint my sky…
Little lettering piece for the song Brother by Alice in Chains. Not sure how this came to be. I knew I wanted this to be raw in the same vein as my previous post for the song “seasons” by Chris Cornell but I also didn’t want to make a repeat. I made the lettering weeks ago but didn’t know what the final would look like. I played around with some brushes then started to animate. I think that’s when I went into autopilot and this happened. Unconsciously I painted my sky.
Sometimes some songs hit way too hard. Released back in 1992, this song was written by guitarist and vocalist Jerry Cantrell. Lyrics say :
Frozen in the place I hide
Not afraid to paint my sky
With some who say I've lost my mind
Brother try and hope to find
You were always so far away
I know that pain
So don't you run away like you used to do
Roses in a vase of white
Bloodied by the thorns beside the leaves
That fall because my hand is pulling them hard as I can
You were always so far away
I know that pain
And I won't run away like I used to do
Pictures in a box at home
Yellowing and green with mold
So I can barely see your face
Wonder how that color taste
You were always so far away
I know the way
So don't you run away like you used to do
Like you used to do
