Description ♫ Sometimes I get to feelin'
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect - you know?
The days were endless, we were crazy - we were young
The sun was always shinin' - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know
The rest of my life's been - just a show.
Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true -
When I look and I find I still love you.
You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide
Ain't that a shame?
I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game
No use sitting and thinkin' on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately I just don't know
Better sit back and go - with the flow
Cos these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find - no change
Those were the days of our lives yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true
When I look and I find, I still love you,
I still love you. ♫

(These Are The Days Of Our Lives - Queen)

Bit of a controversial opinion here, but Bohemian Rhapsody is nowhere near my favorite Queen song. No, that distinction goes to 'These Are The Days Of Our Lives' from 1991. Freddie Mercury didn't write it, nor is it about him, but the lyrics and tone of this song; sadly mimic the turmoil of the horrific terminal illness he was suffering at the time, and the inevitability he was facing. The song is very genuine, and I have mad respect for Freddie Mercury for giving this song and many others his all; during the very painful last year of his life.

------------------------------------

Not much to say about this piece really, kind of a nostalgia piece I guess. Tried for almost a monochromatic painting (where you paint only using one color) and I think it turned out pretty well! Enjoy

I love how you got the sun to work with their images when they are adults. It's like it signifies a bright future for them.

These Are the Days of Our Lives is pretty high on my Queen totem pole as well. It's simple, yet profoundly touching with the context of Freddie's illness and what must've been going through his mind at the time. It's interesting how well the lyrics can be applied to Simba and Nala here, that's a good observation. I have to wonder what they could've been thinking while they were separated for so long, especially poor Nala who thought Simba was dead the whole time.

This is an awesome picture of Simba And Nala, I like how you have their future foreshadowed in this picture.

Also unless I missed the point of what you were trying to say about your favorite Queen song. There is noting wrong with having a favorite song from a band (or singer for that matter) that isn't that band (or singer's) popular song. It's nice to know that The band (or singer's) other works are greatly appreciated well.

Thank you!
Yes, i know that. I was somewhat joking. But Bohemian Rhapsody is like the Holy Grail of Rock music, highly regarded as the 'best' Queen song ever produced.

Unspeakably marvelously stunning. I've always loved your digital painting style. 

The song is not quite familiar to me, though. I might try to listen to it later.

Otherwise, excellent work!

Thanks very much!  

If you're going to go find this song, I'll tell you this...if you're used to seeing footage of Freddie Mercury from when he was young and healthy, the music video that goes with this song; may be a bit of a shock!

I just listened to it, while reading the lyrics you wrote in the description. Man, it's so beautiful. It sure fits Simba and Nala alot.
