Music to do art to

Wednesday night. I'm painting, creating, and reaching all new levels of creative inspiration.

I'm pretty sure Lana Del Rey is my soulmate. Soul sister. Her lyrics give voice to my soul and spirit. She's my current favorite artist to listen to while painting and doing arts & crafts. My second favorite artist to listen to while working on art is Elle King. I can't get enough of the "Love Stuff" album. 

My current favorite song is "Ride" by Lana Del Rey. It really speaks to me. 

Here are the lyrics. So beautiful. 

"I've been out on that open road
You can be my full time, daddy white and gold
Singing blues has been getting old
You can be my full time, baby
Hot or cold

Don't break me down
I've been travelin' too long
I've been trying too hard
With one pretty song

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride

Dying young and I'm playing hard
That's the way my father made his life an art
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
That's the way the road doves do it, ride 'til dark.

Don't leave me now
Don't say good bye
Don't turn around
Leave me high and dry

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get in trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride

I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm tired of driving 'till I see stars in my eyes
I look up to hear myself saying, baby
Too much I strive, I just ride

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get in trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride"
