a month of music - DAY TWO

So, one of my very very favourite songs. And tags.

DAY TWO

A SONG THAT INSPIRES ME


Listen to the song here

and because I'm awesome, here are the lyrics so you can sing along

LEARNING TO FLY by Tom Petty

Well, I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well, the good ol' days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Well, some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there

I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly
I'm learning to fly


Now, if you're interested in how I made the tags, I used Tims' Distress Ink (Broken China and Chipped Sapphire) with a blending tool, then dabbed straight bleach on with some paper towel.
I added birds with my trusty black pen, and alpha stickers (Kaisercraft) and the balloon (sent to me by a friend).
I then drove myself utterly insane by trying to glue a single strand of cotton down while sitting under a fan.


I really love this tag. And the song! Thanks for looking.
