Can you tell us what that means pls it's just one line 🙏🏻

THANK YOU !!! this is the result of sheer inspiration after discovering Coldplay when i was 12 (2008) and listening to their discography / unreleased tracks on repeat for 3 years straight - i first came across Famous Old Painters in 2011 and immediately tasked myself with emulating the VIVA style for it -- mostly just to compliment the song on my iPod nano lol -- i have adored the song ever since -- it truly warms my heart knowing that a painting i did when i was 15 has been adopted as the primary cover art for the past decade       "cus' i'm up on the rooftop painting you roses - screaming your name out and hoping you'll notice - i'm hoping you'll notice and know what my name is - and we could be just like those famous old painters"

I fucking love your cover of FOP! Been using this since 2015. It has such artistic style to VIVA era.

That's super cool man! I've always wondered where that cover art came from hahaha.

hey all !!! i hope you are doing well it has been over a decade since i have been on these forums (12 years to be exact)   thought i would jump back on now that Famous Old Painters is becoming a thing again ... it almost made me cry hearing those vocals on the leaked demo !!! never thought i would hear that   anyways, i am the original "painter" of the Famous Old Painters cover art from 2011, which is used as the unofficial official cover art across the internet - you can find proof of that >>> here <<< where i posted it on this exact website back in 2012 along with several other VIVA-era cover arts i painted !!!   best wishes to you all - Lliam -- (go here to access the audio from 2011 showing my cover art)
