words read: i’ll fly away
I have one of Kanye West’s cds and as a lot of hip hop/rap albums, this one has interludes between the songs. One of the interludes is a gospel song that goes something like this:
…one glad morning
when this life is over
i’ll fly away…
He sings this with such joy and I often hit repeat when this interlude comes on and sing along as I drive. I wanted to create a little painting in honor of this gospel song. You never know when or where inspiration will hit you. I mean, a hiphop album? Who would have guessed??
This photo of the painting isn’t the best. I will have to take a better one later.
I love that song! And such a beautiful image to go with it.
beautiful piece as always bridgette.
hmmm…i wonder if it is same “i’ll fly away” song i grew up hearing…just a different version. the lyrics always gave me chills. love it! i think a version is on the oh brother where art thou sound track.
