Lyrical

I Died So I Could Haunt You by Stars on Grooveshark

One of my favorite things to do when listening to music is to doodle the lyrics. I've done it for as long as I can remember. Sometimes I feel like my brain works backwards because the only way I can really pay attention to something is to have my hands do something else entirely. (This used to get me in a lot of trouble in school as it always appeared that I wasn't listening/was drawing instead.) I've been listening to a lot of Stars lately, the Five Ghosts album specifically (The last 2 drawings are from The Bedroom Diaries album). I'd like to take a series of photos (like above) to use in conjunction with my drawings, so I've been stockpiling lyrical doodles from various artists/albums. I'll have to share them as I add to the collection. Here are a few of my favorites from Stars, along with each song they go with.

The Night Starts Here by Stars on Grooveshark

I wish I were better at keeping up with all of my random doodles and drawings. My typefaces (like above) especially. I love drawing letters for some reason. Hope you enjoyed the tunes! ;)

  6. I LOVE drawing letters too. I've never been one for drawing actual things, except letters. I've been doodling them for as long as I can remember.

  9. Lovely, Stars are fantastic and it is always great to see people supporting independent Canadian music. Set Yourself on Fire (2004) is one of my all time favorite albums.

  12. I'm listening to music when I'm learning something for school or do any kind of work. It's so "relaxing" :)

  14. Even though I love listening to music I'm sooo tone deaf it's not funny and for some reason I can never remember song lyrics (aside from completely improvised lyrics!) so this lovely idea might help me with that. I'm a huge fan of Stars but haven't listened to them for ages - have their album playing on repeat on Spotify now though so thanks for reminding me of how great they are :)

  15. I love doodling too- especially while on phone calls. I wish I had kept up with some of mine- the longer the phone call- the more detailed the doodle.

  16. I really, really love the Stars. I've got to see them a few times here in Oz and they were hauntingly good.

  17. I do exactly the same thing when I listen to music! I've always done it- ever since I first really got into music as a teen.

    I also have to doodle to pay attention. I always doodle when I make important phone calls as I hate using the phone and it calms me down a little.
