🎡 When I'm Gone.

"Write the story of your favorite song."

Interest was my response toward Without Me. Despair is the feeling that Going Through Changes produced in me. Love is the sentiment Sing For The Moment made me feel. Passion was what Beautiful activated that cold afternoon. Till I Collapse lit my inner flame, plus, Lose Yourself made me stay for a long time. 


    However, if there is a song that resumes all the reactions earlier mentioned and more, that would be When I'm Gone. When I'm Gone was released in 2005, alongside Eminem's newest album Curtain Calls, and quickly became a global sensation.


    Because this four-minute-long story is the art piece that has touched me the most, it deserves its text. I consider it is worth ordering and describing the song from its various verses. Alright, that said, let us jump straight into today's matter.


"Yeah, it's my life. My own words, I guess."

 

    Although the artist's opinion is highly transmitted throughout many albums, that precise way to begin a melody seemed pessimistic.


"Have you ever loved someone so much you'd give an arm for? Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for."


    Woah! Marshall is quite disturbed; we can notice it; virtually everything can happen from this point on. 


"But what happens when karma turns right around to bite you? And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you?"


    I paused the video. "Okay, I identified myself with that part; this could bother me. Will I enjoy or hate this thing?" I thought the first time.


"And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn,  rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin' and I didn't feel a thing. So, baby, don't feel my pain, just smile back."


    "Darn, he is kind of giving his eulogy!"

    I said, while instantly dying from wonder. I opened the tab containing the lyrics in Spanish and the original. I confirmed what I heard and committed to finishing it without interruptions any more.


    Now, let me stop here. What do you think Marshall was going through during those days? His popularity had touched the sky, and his personal life was on the floor. Everyone loved him but his family. His focus was on writing, not on raising his only daughter.


"But baby, wait!" – 'It is too late, Dad, you made a choice.'"


    Then, I do think he said something like this. "What is wrong with you, guy? This fame won't last forever; take care of your family, now!"


"You got one more chance to do right, and it's tonight. Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em 'fore it's too late!"


    After several hits in a couple of verses, we discover he is humiliated for his acts and tries to fix them. The past extract comes from his feelings after speaking to himself in front of the mirror.


"That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'."


    Here—before ending the entire story—Eminem shows us how even though we have made mistakes, we can ask for an apology and act better. As he did, as we can do, too. That made me realize When I'm Gone must go with me through my future tough times.


Onward...

πŸ“Œ Am I an artist?

Am I an artist?  " I guess no because I don't understand a thing when looking at a piece of art." That was the answer I gave myself every time I entered a museum. Does that mean I was insecure? Well, not exactly. I was overwhelmed.   So many techniques, periods, movements, and terms made me feel sick and weak . Art is hard! I didn't study art history or anything related, but I wanted to enjoy random sculptures and artworks. Then I thought, " that had to change."  I needed a  guide   easy to read, but I wanted to create it from scratch. One   day, I took my laptop, a bunch of white sheets and started asking questions to myself. Yes, from the basics like:  What is this?  What do you represent?  How many people painted you? What is the title?   Then, I questioned myself about the moment being there (in the Museum or Gallery). This is what I found: Do the shoes I use when visiting influence my experience?  Should I know the artist be...

πŸŽƒ Local Stone...

  "Write a scary story."   The evening. What is the evening? Dead. What is dead? Cruelty. What is cruelty? Reality. What is reality? You will find a poisonous answer soon.   FROM "LOCAL STONE: THE MEXICAN CITY PLAGUED BY DEATH." "God damn, Stone! Fourteen guys more have been shot dead this morning. Fourteen! Did you hear that, Pilo?" A distance voice yelled while hearing the local news on an old radio from 1944. The noise bounced on every wall through the seven-meter-long hallway until it got to Pilo's room. It seemed as if the sound had been produced next to his ear.        "Wait, what?" the guy opened his eyes. Pilo had woken up. His breathing was heavy, disturbing some may assume. Scared and shocked are the words he identified the most later that day. "Fourteen guys, damn. I hoped it would be less. Fourteen families will see their son's bodies today. Fourteen..." He felt an immediate burden over his shoulders; his twenty-two-...

🌠 Emma

"Write about one fear and turn it into a character." Everything started a cloudy morning in March. Moisture around the place provoked me to sneeze and wake up. I was sat in an enclosed room. Perhaps it was the living room. I got rid of the humid bindings covering my eyes. Nothing seemed to have life inside that negative space until the sound of two flies flying around gave me the notion of freedom. Somehow their movements were rhythmic symphonies. I still don't realize how I got there. The floor was jammed-packed with untied boots, and the walls were all coat-colored. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming. My weak back felt the pressure of gravity more than ever.       And Emma was there, leaning forward, looking strong, alive, persuasive, and also, methodical. Hatred was the first sentiment I experienced the moment I looked at her black-in-black eyes. Her right arm placed over her right knee added to the way she was staring at me, paralyzed the time.  She poin...
