Love & Misery
“Love & Misery” is definitely my favorite Lee song! I know, you are thinking “If it’s your favorite, why didn’t you paint that one first??” Well, I will tell you….. I listen to this song a few hundred times a day (that is NOT an exaggeration…) and had several different ideas for it. Every time I listen to the song, I hear something new like a lyric I did not notice before and also depending on my mood-I interpreted the song in a different way. So this brings us to painting #4:
Overall, the song just makes me think of sitting down with someone just mesmerized by their every word and having the best conversation ever. This may not be what other people get from it, but that is what I think of.

I had some trouble getting the faces just right because I could not even imagine messing up Lee’s face, but after weeks of thinking about it, I decided to go faceless and let the gestures portray the emotion. I love it without faces, so I call that a “happy mistake” I had to go back in a few times to “Mess up” the graffiti on the wall, as it looked too perfect and not authentic enough…Hopefully, you all love it as much as I do.
Love & Misery – Lee DeWyze (“So I’m Told” album)
If what they say is true
then I'm committing last
Sitting on the other side
but I'm staring at the same grass
They said it's better to have loved and lost
Then to have never loved at all
But all I really needed was time
Someone that could show me a sign
All I ever wanted, all I ever needed was time
Sing with me, come tell your story
Love and misery and everything in between
I don't know where to go but when I get there
I promised love that she'd be the first to see
Now, I don't mind listening
to your fables and stories
you always said that things wouldn't be
the way that they should be
but all I wanted was time
someone that could show me a sign
All I ever wanted, all I ever needed was time
Sing with me, come tell your story
Sing with me, come tell your story
Love and misery and everything in between
I don't know where to go but when I get there
I promised love that she'd be the first to see
But do you want to see?
Does anybody ever really want to see?
Do you want to see?
Don't know where to go but when I get there
I promised love she'd be the first to see
then I'm committing last
Sitting on the other side
but I'm staring at the same grass

Dreaming Alone
The second painting of the series was inspired by the song "Dreaming Alone". I really connect with this song; it is one of my favorites, so it made perfect sense to make it a self portrait. I actually started this painting a few different times, but am extremely happy with the outcome. I feel the serene smile portrays the emotion I get from this song perfectly- to not want to wake up and leave that dream behind. That is how I interpret the song, and I have had plenty of those dreams.....
Dreaming Alone; by Lee DeWyze, “So I’m Told” albumwake up
remembering just what she said
memories of things that never even happened
run through your head
I keep the shades pulled tight
to let the light in
my eyes have all been closed
seeing only what if
but when you said goodbye
is what you meant goodnight
'til tomorrow
if it's me in your dreams
i'd sleep the day away
cause when you say goodbye
what I hear is goodnight
So keep it in the night
the fight's in the love and aftermath
and me melting into you
melting into the place you dreamt last
don't leave
the fear eats me away
the fear you're dreaming alone
but when you said goodbye
is what you meant goodnight
'til tomorrow
if it's me in your dreams
i'd sleep the day away
cause when you say goodbye
what I hear is goodnight
so don't leave me goodnight
but when you said goodbye
is what you mean goodnight
'til tomorrow
is it me in your dreams?
i'll sleep the day away
but when you say goodbye
what I hear is goodnight
but when you,
