“You can go the distance, you can run the mile
You can walk straight through hell with a smile
You can be the hero, you can get the gold
Breakin' all the records they thought never could be broke, yeah
Do it for your people, do it for your pride
How are you ever gonna know if you never even try?
Do it for your country, do it for your name
'Cause there's gon' be a day, when you're Standing in the Hall of Fame”
Listen and Get Inspired!
Music and my personal brand of art will always be deeply intertwined. While I create, there is almost always a song or a lyric that inspired the feeling, that in turn inspires my art. This piece was inspired by lyrics and vibes from the song Hall of Fame by the Script, seen above.
Check out the song that started it all and support the artist who helped me create mine (by giving their music a listen)!
