Description
*The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day*
Beautiful Day (U2)

This is dedicated to gab-mag, Gabry, and celebrates the awesome day we shared two weeks ago when I got the first opportunity to meet him in one surprisng town, Brescia. The references of the piece, the places, the writing, is something that only me and him could really understand,because they were part of the day and of our journey but I hope you can see here as well the joy and the magic and the enthousiasm that that day full of lovely vibes is still inspiring me, and I hope, him too (thing that I am sure of).
I avoided to use YOUR style Gabry, unlike what I told you.. I tried to achieve a language more mine: definitely less stylish, less accomplished, but more similar to me, and capable to make you feel what I felt that day better. I hope ;). The flowers I chose are meaningful in the language of Flowers: they say "Gratefulness and Grace" and "Feast for a friend" Me and my friends are waiting you always. Can't wait to make you part of my world, so that the same affection I feel for you, can be felt by all my people. U are a lovely guy, and I wanna honour here all the amazing hours you've made me live.
Girls!!!!!!!! what are you waiting for? TAKE THIS GUY: he's a treasure :)
Enjoy you all, and if you wanna an advice.. try to know better this man: not only he's a very talented designer.. but he simply has a heart as big as Jupiter :) (and such an adorable family!!!)
With all the possible friend love, enjoy , Meli :)

You really express your feelings for that day in your collage,it's definately you, and I am sure gab-mag will be happy for it, and for your generous friendly heart.
Very nice. I <3 Collages. :) This is well composed without looking too busy. :)
What a wonderful image!! This is excellent, the colors, the whole composition..... beautiful!
Hi U 2
Really full of mood.. Una giornata frenetica ma rilassante, direi :) Beautiful work! Soon, Ale ;)
Not a heroic engagement with emotions and feelings, not an impetuous plunge in the unconscious, in the eternal insecurities of existence, not the will to transform society, to subvert the order of the world, not a profound testimony of an experience, only an assemblage of impressions of a pleasant one day journey. Something that I interpret as relatively banal that you exalted in a picture.
A foundation of beautiful memories.. =)
Meli, I'm speechless! When I watch this picture, I can feel all the positive vibes we felt that day; your colours, words, the song you've chosen (I love U2) transmit exactly a "replay" of a wonderful experience with you, dear Meli. :-) I know, maybe it's difficult to understand for someone, simply because each experience is different and individual, but you're so talented that I think everyone could understand how beautiful could be to stay with you, talking about art: to me it was simply a dream! :-) And...don't worry: I prefer YOUR style, because you surely can do the best with it! :-) Hugs and kiss! You made my day, again... P.S.:I'm confused, but do really you think that someone would want to be together with me? ROTFL, you're the kindest woman on Earth!:-)))
I installed a spead spectrum analyzer on the descrambler box and I did not get a ring tone. Does this mean my contrast is off? All the money in the world is different than no place to spend eternity.
Find it very nice, pop art you said and pop art it is in a great splendor.......
Stylish & colorful collage of menento. Those flashy colors could be annoying for my taste, but you've used them quite nicely together, image fits to the lyrics.
What a magical tribute to what sounds like the best of days, great use of colour and I love the flow of the composition as it makes me feel like I'm walking along with you HUGS Thanks for sharing :D
Oh, such a joyful day! Did it feel then like it passed by in a blur of colour and light and excitement? Thank you both for sharing this happiness with us.
What a great way to memorialize a good experience in your life. This collage of images is an excellent thank you for a day shared with a friend.
Lovely work Meli... this one speaks volumes. I can only imagine how much fun it must have been that day.
I like the style of the collage. It reminds me of something I can't put my finger on. A booklet I've seen maybe. Well anyway, a great piece that sends out warmness :) And yet another beautiful italian town it seems to be ;)
i really like this one, seems you could keep going forever with this style.
You've expressed that day/visit to us in your wonderful magical way, thank you~
Lovely colours! Glad you had so coloured a day!
A great collage, Meli... happy and colourful feelings... must have been a wonderful day with much fun!
A beautuful montage in rememberings -
A very beautiful Collage, and dialouge. Sounds like a most beautiful day, for both You and Gab-Mag. He is a lucky guy to have had the opportunity to spend some time with you :-) -Peace :-)
Looks like a movie poster for an an enjoyable day. NIce way to make the experience memorable in a graphic way.
What a gift!
