    **SOLD**"Drunken Soldier" Original One-Of-A-Kind Painting

    24"x30"

    I never like to discuss lyrics and their relavance to you or me but this song is basically adivce to us all. With Dave's already iconic "Be kind always" and "shine your light" hiding in the "mist" to "Don't be something you're not". The painting is mixed media at the highest level with metal rusty hinges on the window, a rusty star and a vintage lens with "That's not a star...that's a satellite" behind the glass. His medals read "Fill up your head", "Fill up your heart" and "Shine your light". Acrylic paint, enamels, various vintage papers on stretched gallery canvas.

     

    "Keep your head up
    And try to listen to your heart
    Be kind always, no matter
    We all grow up
    And someday we'll say goodbye
    So shine your light while you got one

    Make the most of what you got
    Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
    Fill up your head
    Fill up your heart
    And take your shot
    Don't waste time tryin' to be something you're not

    Once 'round
    Just once
    Take your shot
    Don't waste time trying to be something you're not
    You fill up your head
    Fill up your heart
    Cause that's all we got
    Don't waste time trying to be someone you're not

    Through your window
    Well that's one way to see the world
    Step outside and look back into
    Look and listen
    You decide what to believe
    So shine your light while you got one"
