Concerto for a Rainy Day
A homage to &amp;quot;Concerto for a Rainy Day&amp;quot;, by Electric Light Orchestra, a.k.a. ELO. It took almost two months to finish it, please like it. TvT I'll just uh, explain everything in the drawing, since no one will understand otherwise. &amp;quot;Concerto for a Rainy Day&amp;quot; is almost 20 minutes long, and is made up of four songs: &amp;quot;Standin' in the Rain&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Big Wheels&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Summer and Lighting&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;Mr. Blue Sky&amp;quot;, in that order. &amp;quot;Standin' in the Rain&amp;quot; is represented by the rain in the background, which fades away in the middle, ousted by the man himself, Mr. Blue Sky. (look at his glasses, btw ;D) Surrounding him and the Sun are large wheels, which, if you didn't guess, are representative of &amp;quot;Big Wheels&amp;quot;. Between the spokes of the wheels are orange hearts. It just feels like &amp;quot;Summer and Lightning&amp;quot; is the happiest and most 'lovestruck' of the four songs, and &amp;quot;Summer and Lightning&amp;quot; is various shades of orange for me, so uh, I put 2 and 2 together. 2+2=orange hearts. Now, when Jeff Lynne (main song-writer and soloist for ELO) wanted to write the double-album Out of the Blue, of which &amp;quot;Concerto for a Rainy Day&amp;quot; is a part of, he decided to hole himself up in a chalet by the Swiss Alps. Look to the right... there! It's the Swiss Alps and a chalet. The reason a lake is there is because Jeff Lynne reportedly &amp;quot;loved the lake view.&amp;quot; Wanna take a closer look inside the chalet? ... it's Jeff Lynne. A very pixelated version of Jeff Lynne. I tried my best, okay? Anyway. You'll notice that a music staff and notes float away from the chalet. I took hours to make all the notes go with the melody of &amp;quot;Mr. Blue Sky&amp;quot;, harmonies not included. The notes themselves took hours alone. Enjoying themselves on the grass are a few people, also very pixelated, attracted to the promises of the forecast, which calls for blue skies. That's a lyric reference for ya. ;) If you have a little time on your hands, I highly recommend that you listen to this piece! In fact, I recommend it so much that I'll give you a link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWnYae52Bd4 Have a listen. :)
