Description
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing, stretching every nerve
I had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
I just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom, boom, boom
Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home
To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Though my life was in a rut
Till I thought of what I'd say
And which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom, boom, boom
Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
So I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom, boom, boom
Hey, I said, you can keep my things they've come to take me home
Come back home
Come back home
Come back home

Really amazing image! I love the details. The eagle in the eye and silhouette of the woman in the window are truly excellent touches. You captured the feel of this song perfectly. Truly beautiful work!

Thank you. It started as an experiment to see if I could render an A2 picture. This is the smaller version. I was concerned about the detail in the eye and skin. I am really glad you like it.

Thank you so much, Steve. I messed with all the textures on the model, including superimposing my son's face too get more quality on the skin. I'm glad you like it.

Great and wonderful work. I like the way his hair almost blends with the sunset. Love that poetry and narrative too.
