Description
In the cityWritten lyrics by Joe Walsh
Somewhere out there on that horizon
Out beyond the neon lights
I know there must be somethin' better
But there's nowhere else in sight
It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity
When you're down, that's where you'll stay
In the city, oh, oh.
In the city
I was born here in the city
With my back against the wall
Nothing grows, and life ain't very pretty
No one's there to catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
Faraway from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin' better
And I can't stay another night
In the city, oh, oh.
In the city

This is so wonderfully made. Thank you so much. I'm very touched. 
I love the lyrics you shared there, and in looking at this painting, it is so incredible.
I could almost see images of faces and people. I see what appears to be a cascade of
vibrancy. There is this visual sense of power, bursting out from colorful building blocks of
substance. Like a very large close up of an ark, an internal building vessel, in which to mentally,
and spiritually escape the floods of oppression within the city. We take with us, each basic colors,
that can multiply into combinations of other colors to repopulate or even saturate those dry seasons,
into something much more vibrant. The background on the very top, are like the horizon of towers from the
distance, as though to sail away from, or perhaps in observation from the stand point of one who is in the world
but not of it. The bulk of the colorful weight, really does remind me of a large ship, and like this vessel, we too are
passing by the concrete jungles, with the peace that surpasses all understanding. Hence the blessing from God to us,
in which he certainly and always provides a way out of every situation. There is also a great sense of longing and adventure
to this pic that seems really epic in so many ways. This is certainly visually incredible to see and experience.
Awesome work once again.
