LYRICS:
Oil and resin like blood on the floor
Flowers and feathers strung up on the wall
Another white canvas stretched to the frame
Did the fear of failure haunt you the same?
Toronto to London your paints in your arm
Came out with a medal and your scars from the war
Would you switch it for all the success of your peers?
Oh where are you now got lost to the years
Oooooo…
Sun on the river, another red dawn
Was the mist around Hammersmith Bridge getting worn?
When the colours were fading under the stars
Were you still trying to paint that ache in your heart?
Ooooo…

I love this song, from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩

That was the most beautiful song I've ever heard. At the very beginning I closed my eyes and I started to think about my past. I was so sad for few years and now I realise it how unnecessary it was. I am so happy with my life right now. And what I am trying to say is that this song is very powerful. It made me think. And not every song I listen to makes me think so deeply. Thank you so much for that song.
