So, this is based on a song by Kahimi Karie called "One thousand 20th century chairs" which I love. This picture has been in my head for ages, but only now I found the time to put it on paper. It came out nice and easy, even thou lighter than it should. My brother also told me it looks sad, which wasn't AT ALL what I meant...XP I hope he's wrong.

Anyways, does any of you know Kahimi Karie? I've seen her being classified as J-pop artist, but I wouldn't say that she is. At least, not the usual J-pop artist, as her songs are way different from most of the japanse pops out there, and she sings in many languages (incluiding portuguese *lol*). It's sooo cute when she sing in french. Anyways, the lyrics of the song:

"Moving house
Moving out of the biggest disaster
Time to move on now
Move up to China town

China town
On the 29th floor of a building
Looking up cos I'm
Trying not to look straight down

The 13th arrondissement
Sitting by the window
Thinking how I love this town

I confess that I stole your book of a thousand chairs
Tore it up, watched the pages fluttering through the air
How satisfying it feels
To tear a thousand chairs
One thousand 20th century chairs

I'm playing Beck
Cos the architect I used to live with
Never let me dance
When I put on Odelay

Odelay
I'm alone, I'm insane but I'm happy
You collected me
But I got away

How satisfying to tear
And scatter though the air
One thousand 20th century chairs

My favourite chairs
Are the ones in 'Zabriske Point'
Exploding in slow motion
Shootin' up to the sky
Coming down to earth
Coming down to earth
Coming down to earth
Coming down"

The lyrics where produced by Momus, and the videoclip is just so awesome and fun. Great, great song, it's kind of poweful, it makes you want to throw things away! Anyways, that's why it wasn't supposed to be sad at all. Just a little numb. *lol*

Sorry for the big description!
Hope you like it.
