Description
Autumn leaves under frozen souls
Hungry hands turning soft and old
My hero crying as we stood out in the cold
Like these autumn leaves
I don't have nothing to hold

If you don't know who Paolo Nutini is, look up his song "Autumn Leaves" now. You won't regret it. It's a beautiful and powerful song, and Paolo Nutini is my hero. ♥ ohgawshhh

Then listen to the rest of his music, fall in love some more, tell to your friends, rinse, and repeat.

Story behind this picture, anyway -

This is referenced, but not quite inspired by, this picture: [link]

Originally, this girl was supposed to be happy (that's why she's smiling somewhat) but slightly mad. But I was listening to Autumn Leaves, and suddenly the girl's face and emotions fell into place even though I wasn't even done with the shading on her face.

After that, I worked with her until I felt the emotion of this song (well, as much as I could; the song's amazing and hard to explain) in her; I had her crying, and originally her lips were going to be colored, but it works so much better with the grayscale.

All that being said...MS Paint for the win. I love that little bugger of a program, it's my trusty little friend. :]
