Christina Grimmie

Christina Victoria Grimmie (March 12, 1994 – June 11, 2016)

I had no real idea of what to draw for this. All I know is that when I heard Christina Gimmie had been shot, I felt I had to draw something.

I first found out about Christina Grimmie when I watched her singing “Titanium” on Youtube. I found her singing to be incredibly moving, and that is as much as I knew her. Yet I feel terrible when I heard of her death, as so many of her fans did.

I don’t want to say much; just this. I think Christina was lost far too early, and I think her death was tragic. And while she might be gone, her songs live on. I’m not sure what kind of legacy that is, but I believe it is a kind of immortality. Christina, I can only say that I’m sorry you’re gone.

Music Box

It’s full of songs.

Tired today. Some days aren’t productive days. So I’m just going to open my music box and listen to a few songs. ‘Night, all.

Tree Napping

Sleeping is best done without singing.

Have you ever slept in a hammock? I have. I woke up in the middle of the night and fell onto the ground. On purpose.

My point here is that hammocks might be fun to rest in, but not to sleep in. Like trees.

Late Apologies

Some apologies hurt more than others.

I’ve got a certain song on repeat. And while I’m at it, I have to wonder how people apologize. Do you give a gift, beg for mercy, or hope the offended person forgets? In Knight’s case, I’d say running for your life is the best approach.

Banana Phone

I’m still waiting for my banana phone to ring.

It’s just total nostalgia-time with me recently. I looked at a banana recently and guess what song started playing in my head?

Seriously though, does anyone remember Raffi? I grew up on songs like “Banana Phone”, “Baby Beluga”, and “Down by the Bay”. Anyways, going to eat a banana now.

Let it Snow

Just admire it in silence.

I saw snow today. About three flakes. That’s still good, but let’s have more. Just…no songs. Please.

Caroling Curse

Thus began the Christmas Carol massacre.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve grown to hate Christmas carols the longer I’ve been alive. And no offense — especially in American supermarkets.

I can’t tell you how painful it is to hear the same songs on repeat over…and over…and over…until all you want to do is destroy Christmas like the Grinch.

Unfavorable Comparisons

I haven’t heard this song in years. But I wonder how many people over a certain age remember this? Well, it’s a little demeaning towards stick people but it’s a wonderful old song.

Good song, wrong audience, Knight.

Singing Styles

Can you sing fancy? I can’t. My singing makes people cry or go deaf. But Knight would definitely be able to sing with the best. Hm. Now I want to hear her sing a cappella.

Let them sing, Pirate.

Do You Want…

…To be annoyed by a catchy song? Well, it was good before everyone and their brother started singing it. But do you actually remember that song? It was DARK and depressing, encompassing a lonely childhood, death, isolation and a magical curse!

But Knight does have a good point — who makes abominable snowmen? Or do they make themselves? One of the mysteries of life, I guess.

Bad timing, Knight.
