Visual+Metaphor+JShneyder

I chose this picture because part of my lyrics meanings are being down to earth and I think that this picture along with the others that I chose by the artist Andy Goldsworthy are very down to earth and very cool and different. This picture didnt inspire me in any way for my project but i thought it was very cool. Again with this picture by Andy Goldsworthy its very different and down to earth which is a big part of the meaning to the lyrics of my song. It inspired me because of the fact that he made this out of things that he found in nature and he knew that eventually they were going to be destroyed. Which i think is a cool idea and I might try making something. In this picture by Andy Goldsworthy these are oak leaves inside of holes. I like it because at first you dont really understand what it is but after a little bit of staring at it you start to understand that they are oak leaves and that they are in holes. But I like it because to me the leaves sort of look like faces and their in the ground and that is really what my lyrics are about people that are down to earth.

The lyrics I will be using for my project are "Everything chicken but the bone" by The Dayton Family. I chose these lyrics because they are very different but the meaning that they have is something that I believe every person that it applies to would do. The visual metaphor that the song is talking about is being rich and hard working but still being down to earth. Other interpritations that people might have for this might be that you can change anything you want about your life but when you get down to it you cant change the basics of life.
