GLORIA ROUBAL'S DAILY HAND GENERATED TYPE PHRASE #91

Sometimes I see a photo and a song lyric comes to mind. That's what happened when I saw this photo by "Thom" which I found on unsplash.com, a great resource for designers by the way...

I heard this Rufus Wainwright song on the soundtrack of a TV show a couple of years ago, and I've always loved it. He has a unique way of singing expressively, and this song, along with the lyrics, definitely put me in a somber mood...melancholy maybe? I'm moved by it, and that's what art and music have the power to do.

Links to song and lyrics are below.

VIBRATE
by Rufus Wainwright

My phone's on vibrate for you
Electroclash is karaoke too
I tried to dance Britney Spears
I guess I'm gettin on in years
My phone's on vibrate for you
God knows what all these new drugs do
I guess to have no more fears
But still I always end up in tears
My phone's on vibrate for you
But still I never ever feel from you
Pinocchio's now a boy
Who wants to turn back into a toy

So call me
Call me in the morning
Call me in the night
So call me
Call me anytime you like

My phone's on vibrate for you
For you, for you
