Alles leuchtet grell

Description

My favourite band asked the fans to choose their favourite lyrics from the new album Grell and handwrite them. I went a step further and decided to illustrate the text as well, since I've always wanted to draw something like this anyway.

Admittedly, my handwriting isn't the prettiest thing ever, but it's /mine/ and I wanted to use it instead of some fancy font. I think it conveys the message better.
The lyrics are:
Die graue Welt die stumpf und hässlich ist
leuchtet wieder grell

which means
The gray world, dull and ugly
starts shining dazzlingly bright again


I guess the drawing is pretty self-explanatory, so I'll just copy-paste my comment from tumblr:
At first, after I’d read about #KPGRELLText, I couldn’t decide which lyrics to choose- there are a lot of parts which are amazing, and for very different reasons.
In the end I settled for something that I’ve wanted to draw for a while now. Grell may not be my absolute favourite song from the album, but I really like its message, and coincidentally, it was released when I was struggling with a few things in my life. I remember a week back in December when the first thing I did every morning after waking up was putting on my headphones and playing Grell on repeat. It always managed to put a smile on my face, even if I was running on 3 hours of sleep and my hands were shaking so bad I couldn’t hold up a mug of tea.
I think this is the one of the things that only good music can do- it can make you feel a little better no matter how bad the situation is. It doesn’t solve your problems, but it helps to cope with them and gives you motivation to go on.
In other words- thank you, Killerpilze ♥


Music:
