Alright yes, with the addition of those two Christmas songs, the total number of songs for the challenge went up to 82, but with this one I can officially say I'm a quarter of the way finished with it

Kinda sad considering I started it over two years ago and Hanson is already working on their next album. lawl.

Anyway, I've had this idea of drawing Aranelion falling from somwhere, (don't ask, I just wanted to see him upside-down with his hair flying like that...o.o; ) and I could also see Camillia falling down with him, but from higher up and further away. So...I started drawing the positions they would be in, and their poses, and have them falling into an endless pit fall, or so it seems, for no pitfall is ever truly endless, unless you're talking about an emotional or mental one racked with anguish and despair.

That's where the Hanson song, called "Down" comes in. Here are the lyrics, although I'm not 100% sure of the first two lines (Lines, not verses). This song wasn't on any album so I can't verify them. However, the rest of the song I'm pretty dang sure is right after listening to it literally hundreds of times over the past couple of years I've had it.

I thought I heard you making the coals,
Underneath a lonely man's soles.
Why can't you just let it all go?
Then I start to go down.

I heard him say life is a joke,
His life burned like acid rain smoke.
Why can't you love what you don't know?
Then I start to go...

Down, down, down,
Way too low.
I start to go,
Down, down, down,
You can't pull up anymore,
Once you've gone down...down,
Down, down, down, down.

I heard me say, what it's worth,
You just get pain for all your life's work.
I'll just crawl into my black hole,
Then I, start to go...

Down, down, down,
Way too low.
I start to go,
Down, down, down,
You can't pull up anymore,
Once you've gone...

Down, down, down,
Way too low.
I start to go,
Down, down, down,
I can't pull up anymore.

My Superman's covered in rust,
All of my dreams gone bust.
This time I've fallen down,
Stuck in this rut.
Maybe I'll try falling up,
'Cause I've fallen far enough.

I start to go,
Down, down, down,
Way too low.
I start to go,
Down, down, down,
I can't pull up anymore,
Once you've gone...

Down, down, down,
Way too low.
I start to go,
Down, down, down,
You can't pull up anymore,
Once you've gone...down, down.

Once you've gone down,
Once you've gone down...

This song is one of their prettiest. Taylor sings the first four lines, then Isaac takes the next four, and Zachary sings the verse after the first chorus. The harmony throughout is simply gorgeous as always. A very beautiful song even though it's somewhat sad.

It's easy to see what's going on; life sucks, and feels like it's continuously going down hill, and you feel all but powerless to stop it, even though you're dying for things to change. You feel like all you can do is submit to the downward pull and let it have its way with you. You just can't fight anymore.

I feel the person they refer to as "you" and "him" could possibly be people they see around them who are also going through hard times, but maybe aren't so far gone. They're saying, "Wake up! Don't let yourself get this far gone. Let my life be an example," but there are many possibilities there.

As for me, I saw Aranelion and Camillia having a continuous run of sadness, and though they feel they can't help themselves, they want to try and help each other. Aranelion's trying his best to "pull up" and out of this endless pitfall, not to save himself, but as you can see, he's reaching for Camillia. It his desire to help her that will end up helping him pull out of this constant fall. Though he feels he can't, he's still gonna try, which is what the bridge verse starts to talk about. "I'll try falling up, cause I've fallen enough." That's it, I'm gonna try and live again.

I just love this song...and today it fits the mood. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll write a journal later. Point is, this is a song that has been a soundtrack in my life for a long time. <3

Drawing this picture was fun, but also practice. I don't think Camillia's been drawn too small. She's not only further up but also further away in distance from Aranelion so I think that came out fine. There aren't any problems too major to bother me. I love this picture.
