"Life On Mars (Sunken Dream)"
One
of three ACEO entries
by me February's Nibblefest Art Contest (NFAC), the
theme being 'Dreams'.
When
reflecting upon this month's theme, the first thing that came to mind
were favorite songs of mine that happen to have the word 'Dream' in
their lyrics. One song that I have always loved, but also been a little
haunted by, is David Bowie's 'Life on Mars', about a lonely, unhappy
girl who attempts (unsuccessfully) to find solace and escape from her
difficult life through the watching of films:
".....But a friend is nowhere to be seen.
Now she walks through her sunken dream
to the seat with the clearest view,
and she's hooked to the silver screen...... "
So
here we see her, 'the girl with the mousy hair', as she sits alone in
the darkened theatre, enduring yet another nonsensical movie that says
nothing to her about her life....
