The Art of Friendship - Beans On Toast[00:00:00]
My all time favorite artist is a guy called Laro Verz[00:00:14]
A master of the scribble and the doodle universe[00:00:17]
His work is very simple but complex all the same[00:00:21]
He can draw somethin' in seconds[00:00:24]
And it looks like it took days[00:00:26]
He has a way with colors[00:00:28]
That's timeless and wise and looking at his work makes[00:00:29]
Me feel happy I'm alive[00:00:33]
I know that that sounds cheesy[00:00:35]
But I promise that it's true[00:00:36]
And anyways isn't that what art's[00:00:38]
Supposed to do[00:00:40]
You probably think I'm biased[00:00:42]
'Cause I know Loro Verz we met many years ago when[00:00:43]
We were both at work[00:00:47]
Handin' out flyers for a little indie club[00:00:49]
I'm not sure when exactly maybe 2001[00:00:52]
Well we became friends quickly and then[00:00:56]
Loro went home because he was Brazillian[00:00:58]
And lived in San Palo[00:01:00]
Picture me a chicken picture her a bumblebee[00:01:04]
He drew a heart for both of us[00:01:07]
And give it to me for free[00:01:09]
The art is in the friendship[00:01:11]
The friendship in the art[00:01:12]
Create a reason to create if nothin' it's a start[00:01:14]
Well Loro and I we stayed in touch while[00:01:20]
Life streched out his canvas and I watched[00:01:22]
From afar at his paintings gettin'[00:01:24]
Noticed from the streets of San Palo to the gallary[00:01:26]
Walls he rose up through[00:01:29]
The art world he was unstobbable[00:01:31]
He'd sometimes send me pictures[00:01:34]
Or swing by and paint a pub[00:01:35]
He drew the two tattoos for my right arm[00:01:37]
We may have lived on other sides of the globe[00:01:40]
But we always stayed in touch that's[00:01:44]
The art of friendship folks[00:01:46]
Picture me a chicken picture her a bumblebee[00:01:48]
He drew a heart for both of us[00:01:51]
And give it to me for free[00:01:53]
The art is in the friendship[00:01:54]
The friendship in the art[00:01:56]
Create a reason to create[00:01:58]
If nothin' it's a start[00:01:59]
My all time favorite person is a girl named Lizzy Bee[00:02:04]
My wife my friend my lover[00:02:07]
She's everything I need[00:02:09]
And this year on her birthday[00:02:11]
She's gonna be turning 30[00:02:12]
So I was lookin' out for[00:02:14]
A very special something[00:02:16]
I didn't want to spend a fortune[00:02:18]
'Cause that's not what she'd like she'd rather[00:02:19]
Me to be creative than to spend a bunch of cash[00:02:21]
So I called up an old friend and[00:02:24]
Asked for a favor and Loro Verz said that[00:02:26]
He'd paint her a picture[00:02:30]
Picture me a chicken picture her a bumblebee[00:02:32]
He drew a heart for both of us[00:02:35]
And give it to me for free[00:02:37]
The art is in the friendship the friendship in the art[00:02:38]
Create a reason to create if nothin' it's a start[00:02:42]
So now we have a heart hangin' over our bed[00:02:45]
It stands for love it stands for art[00:02:49]
It stands for friendship[00:02:51]
It didn't cost a penny I swapped it for this song[00:02:52]
So make sure you go and check out Loro's work[00:02:56]
