Make Art (the explanation & lyrics)

Mar 12, 2008 - 21:37 PM PST

So to give some context to the music video that I just uploaded I am posting this to inform you. Bascially, I don't know how many of y'all are avid YouTubers but a user by the handle of CheekyChen posted a video asking to make a collaboration to get a message out to the youtube staff. The message is simple, we want a place on youtube to be able to share art, an art Channel. So he asked for people to post a clip of them drawing the words "Make Art" or for musicians to make a song that would go with the video. So I got inspired to write this song and so here it is.

Make Art
Make art to live
Make art
Make art to love
Make art
Make art to give
Make art
To do all of the above

Some times you got to make art to free yourself
Some times you got to make art to find yourself
Some times you got to make art just to be yourself
Some times you got to make art to remind yourself

Chorus 2x

I Drop this beat to get art on youtube
I drop this beat to get you in the mood
Get you in the groove to become an artist
To make heart-felt art that even you don’t want to part with
Just start with a pencil or start with a brush
Start with pastels and make the colors so lush
There’s no need to rush so take your time about it
Just make art that you are proud to come out with

Chorus 5x


I want to add more but this is what I have for now. I just wanted to get it out so I could have it be part of the collaboration. I am eager to know what you think...and I'm sorry for my out of pitch singing.
