Title: I can never dieInspired by: Dragula—LissieWhen I originally set out to plan for this very special Month of Fear, I was fully expecting myself to dig deep into song meanings and lyrics, analyzing each line as if I was doing my English homework. However, it struck me that what is special about music is the way it makes me feel, the way some phrases resonate where others do not and the imagery that comes up simply by listening. To me songs can have deep meaning that is completely different from whatever the creator intended. So while the original Dragula is about a car, I think (I had to ask a search engine of my choice), Lissie’s cover of the song reminded me of the feeling of bursting at the seams, of being clogged with too much energy and feeling for one body to hold. I always think of it as destructive. Of the scene in a movie where power explodes from the hero or villain, setting streets on fire and blowing up cars. I was wondering, though—does it have to be? Could it be creative instead? (That’s the flowers. Please appreciate the deep meaning behind this demoness.)You can find my portfolio here: https://janaheidersdorf.comNote: True to form I’m using the Month of Fear to stretch myself creatively by trying out new techniques and tools. This year I’m doing so as part of a creative development project sponsored by the BKM, VG Bildkunst and Neustart Kultur. Thank you for having my back! -- source link
