A song of the future

Over the year the Bob Dylan song "knocking on Heaven's Door" has come to signify social conscience. While Iranians debate guns or roses in their hearts, here's the Guns N' Roses version of the song.  

Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Or maybe pondering after being pricked

Monda,

 

More Western art references:

 

Yoda: Friends you have there.

Luke:
They were in pain...

Yoda:
It is the future you see.

Luke:
The future?
Will they die?

Yoda: Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future. 

 

 

Dunno. Just worried about what's on the horizon. 

 

Red Wine, glad you liked the song.


Monda

Ari, is that Dylan with harmonica?

by Monda on

or pondering over choices? (Referring to your artwork)  He could also be a Hassidic?
