Artist's Comments

All of a sudden I got some major inspiration for something touching. This song by the Ataris sparked this bit of summertime friendship rememberances. It's really an awesome song. And normally I wouldn't do this, but...

"Our last day of summer, 1979
Gotta live it up one time before it's over, we will make history tonight.

Out at the drive-in, all of our closest friends and we'll be sneaking in
You'll be spending your whole night, trying everything you can to get that girl to notice you.

'We are the Champions' playing loud on the radio station, everyone sing along with these anthems of our generation
Cruising down Pacific Coast Highway, with the top down, crawl into the back seat
Let's create anthems of our own tonight.

Down at the roller rink, all the cool kids crowding around the air hockey table
'Hey! My best friend likes you!' I hear you shout at me as you go skating by.

'We are the Champions' playing loud on the radio station, everyone sing along with these anthems of our generation
Cruising down Pacific Coast Highway, with the top down, crawl into the back seat
Let's create anthems of our own tonight.

Sneak out of your window, darling
Let's live like outlaws, honey
We'll never look back.

Climb out on this rooftop, and stare at the city lights below us
This world belongs to us tonight, the kids will keep raging on
And they are never gonna stop.

'We are the Champions' playing loud on the radio station, everyone sing along with these anthems of our generation
Cruising down Pacific Coast Highway, with the top down, crawl into the back seat
Let's create anthems of our own tonight."
(repeat)

- The Ataris from "So Long Astoria"

^^; I'll be making more art, but hopefully, I won't feel the need to include the song. It's an awesome song though :)

Oh wow, that really is touching! Summer's great--but it can get boring too. x_x;; XD

Anyway! Music gets so very inspiring as well, it's cool, yep. =) Perhaps you SHOULD listen to more music, cause girl, this is one good picture! (I can never draw that many backs..x_X)

No way... You like the Ataris! Fave song: Teenage Riot

My sister liked them first and that song is one of her favorites. I hadn't listened to that CD for a long time, then all of a sudden I got the urge to listen to "Boys of Summer" then I ended up listening to the whole CD and found some favorites.

Thanks :) I love summer because it holds so many childhood memories. :D But I know that my sister gets bored of summer real quick.

I always love placing a picture I make with music. That's how most of my old comics were drawn. It's like they have their own soundtrack. And I still have some more to submit because of an explosion of inspiration, so look out for those, too ;)

Definitely. I usually hate sappy moments in movies, but when it has to do with great friendships and old memories, it gets me :happycry:

And thanks :aww:
