Description This is for the Reader:

With the soft touch of his fingers
The piano begins to play, a heart untouched for so long
Bares its secret melody...

-

When I first started out I couldn't avoid just bein' cold
My life revolved the things that I was always told—
I never knew the warmth of standing up to take a bow
It was not a joy that I would ever-ever be allowed
Through all the days I feared that everything would disappear
You held me up and held me close like I was something dear
I never knew I had a part of me that you would like
I guess that's what you feel when you can't even see the light…

-

So this is the only way, that I can—
Properly express my thanks
For everything you've done for me
This my way of thanks
My way of thanks
My way of thanks

-

I can't remember how many times I said I'd quit the game
It felt like I was hitting blocks and always feeling lame
But then you taught me that no matter what, you were here
You read the worst of my works and put away my fear
And now I'm sitting here, ab-so-lute-ly clear
I know exactly what I should say to you my dear…

-

That this is the only way, that I can—
Properly express my thanks
For everything you've done for me,
This my way of thanks
My way of thanks
My way of thanks

-

To every reader out there, thank you for your support!
You're the one that makes the artist

-Chen Yuan Wen, 12th October 2012

Thank you for enjoying it. I'm working on trying to make the transitions clearer. Still amateur, but slowly I'll practice and get better ^^

How do I create a 'text document' in my gallery? Like this, I mean.
Is it a journal entry?

So sweet. ; w ; I love it when people thank their supporters like this... To go 'Thank you to all the fans!' on a journal or something is okay, but to actually make a written work out of it? That just makes it 10 times better. <3

As kind as that is, you shouldn't be relying on others to tell you your great all the time. It matters more about the meaning of the work instead of the faves or comments is recieves.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

WordOfChen In reply to AlBiNoTiGeR117 [2012-10-14 03:35:20 +0000 UTC]

I mostly do it out of politeness. If you receive something, you should say thanks. The meaning of my work comes straight from the readers, that is simply my personal stance and probably why so many artists disagree with my methods. I perform for them and I believe in satisfying my readers. The work itself, is prepared for them and so that they may enjoy it. If they don't, then any intended meaning is lost

At least that is my opinion on it, but then again I'm someone who aims to be commercial so readership is always required ^^

Always nice to see a piece thanking the people that admire an artist's work.

And it's a pretty good rap, too.

Perfect.

The reader/writer relationship is one of those beautiful dreams of symbiosis.

You can walk asleep and vividly see the dreams of the collective heart.

Thanks for beating.

...And when you read the works of others, you are their blood and pump the oxygen into their brains.
