Death Cab for Cutie - ‘Transatlanticism’ (2003) | Caspar David Friedrich -Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (1818) | x

I decided to redo a project I did in my 2nd year at University, where we were asked to illustrate song lyrics of our choice into the form of a children’s book. 

I chose Summer Skin by Death Cab For Cutie.

It was my favourite project that I did in my entire 3 years of Uni and I really wanted to see how I could interpret it a few years down the line.

Death Cab for Cutie – Expo ‘86

I am waiting for something to go wrong
I am waiting for familiar resolve
I am waiting for another repeat
Another diet fed by crippling defeat
And I am waiting for that sense of relief
I am waiting for you to flee the scene
As if you held in your hand the smoking gun
And on the floor lay the one you said you loved
