I discovered the Goo Goo Dolls after their hit song “Iris,” and was fairly obsessed with them in high school.  They are still among my favorite bands.

I also enjoyed writing “song fics” where I took song lyrics and made fan fiction (or original stories) with them.  This is what I would call a “song sketch,”  where I took the opening lyrics from the Goo Goo Dolls’ song “Black Balloon” and drew an image.  I don’t think there’s a story that goes with it, it’s just an impression I had based on the feeling from the song.  I was also practicing perspective obviously lol.
