Last Monday, I asked you guys to tell me any of your favorite songs that start with the letter M to help me start my own design challenge. I’ll take a listen and illustrate or design something based on how I feel, think or reflect on your favorite ‘M’ song and post it here. The first song request was from @misiskorki and I have to admit, I had a hard time getting a feel of this song coz the lyrics and music sound really sad! Haha! This is Mandy by Barry Manilow. And here’s a little Trivia on the song: Barry Manilow’s ‘Mandy’ wasn’t the original version. It was originally titled ‘Brandy’ and sang by Scott English. He co-wrote it with Richard Kerr. An urban legend went around that the song was about a dog. Turns out, a reporter called Scott English on the phone while the latter was still asleep. It irked English so much, he made up the ‘dog’ story. But English said in a more recent & formal interview (he died in 2018) that the lyrics were about his life, about being afraid to leave his wife who ‘kissed him and stopped him from shaking’. The ‘face in the window’ was his father. #MisforMusic #MusicSoundsBetterWithYou #MusicisLife #michicoodesignssongs Spotify template by @spotify . . . . . . . . #michicoodesigns #ladieswhodesign #procreate #womenillustrators #womendesigners #femaleillustrator #femaledesigner #womenwhoillustrate #womenwhodesign #womenwhocreate #artistsoninstagram #artist #creativity #design #designer #graphicdesign #art #artwork #music #songs #songstolistento https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKDn2GnO2P/?igshid=5g8o6x7pyaph
