Today we are counting down from #272 to #1! My song choice is #40 - "Black" by Pearl Jam. I have loved Pearl Jam's music ever since they started, and I can't believe they have been around for over 20 years already! To me, Eddie Vedder's combination of poetic songwriting and super-emotive singing makes this song a masterpiece. Here's how my layout/poster turned out...
I tried to capture the idea from the lyrics of his world turning to black (at the love lost).Edited to add: Linda asked how I did the combination color/black and white photo. Good question, and it's super simple! I just printed the photo twice - once in color, and once in black and white. Then I drew the dripping bit on the black and white; cut it out, lined it up, and pasted it on top of the color photo. Easy peasy!
I just love this video of Pearl Jam doing "Black" during an unplugged session on MTV. I hope you enjoy it too...

Happy New Year's Eve everyone! Thanks so much for visiting! Stay safe and I will see you again soon!
sigh...28 year old Eddie.
