Blue For You
Men At Work攀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes the sun shines
And I close the blinds
'Cause I can't stand to see the light of day
I have no use for pain

But I don't mind the rain
'Cause I can stare outside and hear the sound
Today I looked right down to the ground
With nothing in between to break my fall

I'm blue for you, blue for you
I don't know what to do

[Chorus]
Gotta form a plan of attack
Can't stop to look back I know
You are so far from here
Gotta be strong in my mind
Not encroach on your time I know that
That would be wrong for sure

I must get out and about
Of that I have no doubt
There surely must be new places to go
Sights I've never seen

All with pastures green
'Cause the old ones are making me blue for you
'Cause I'm blue for you, blue for you
I don't know what to do

And I'm blue for you, blue for you
I don't know what to do

Gotta form a plan of attack
Climb back on the track I know
Bid my devil friend good-bye
Hope I'm still in the race

But I don't know what to chase oh no
And you're still so far from here

The sun it still shines in
And I shall close the blinds
'Cause I know I won't see you anymore, see you anymore
And I'm blue for you, blue for you

I don't know what to do
'Cause I'm blue for you, blue for you
I don't know what to do




I don't know
I could take a big jump

​@사람? 정말 겸손하신 분.. 이십니다.
이렇게 겸손하시다니 놀랍네요ㅎㅎ
제가 뭐 별거라고 이렇게 말씀해 주시다니
대답해 드릴 테니 전혀 어려워하지 마시고 물어보세요!!
제가 질문을 조금 늦게 보더라도 양해 부탁드려요~^ㅡ^

예, 저도 어디에서 보고 배워서 하는 게 아니라서 기술들 전부 스스로 만들어 낸 것입니다.
철사는 mm 단위로 쇼핑 플랫폼에서 검색을 하시면 될 거고요~!
저는 1mm 이상으로 두꺼운 뼈대를
0.5mm 미만 철사로는 손가락 같은 얇은 뼈대를
구축하였습니다.
아마 손가락 철사는 0.3mm인 것 같습니다.
물론 아연도금이 된 것이겠죠? (혹시 모를 녹 방지를 위해서)

어느 정도 설명이 된지 모르겠습니다.
제게 좋은 것들만 취하셔서 좋은 작품을 만들어주세요~! ^ㅡ^

신기해서 여러번 반복해서 봐도 참 궁금한게 저 철사는 무슨 철사인가요?
제가 찾던 철사로는 최고일것 같아 물어봅니다.(잘 구부러지고 고정 잘되는)
전부터 너무 물어봐서 난감하시다면 정말 죄송합니다. 정보나 핑거님같은 실리콘피규어 같은 것들을 제작하시는 분들이 너무 희귀해서 닥치는대로 물어볼수밖에 없었습니다(잘 만들고 싶어 장인들한테 물을수밖에요...하지만 정보 받으려고 구독한 건 아니에요. 실력에 감탄해서 존경하고 있습니다.) 구질구질하고 볼품없는 댓글 읽어주셔서 감사하고 앞으로 더 좋은 작품이나 스톱모션 기대합니다, 감사합니다!
