Day 7: Be Gone

Day 7: Be Gone

Day 7 of my Daisy by Brand New illustration journey is inspired by the song “Be Gone” and the lyric:

“They’re calling my name, calling my name.”

This song was one of the hardest to interpret—it’s my least favorite on the album, and I struggled to connect with it personally. Still, I wanted to capture the idea of “the other side” reaching out to the singer, their turn to answer the call.

The image features a skeletal hand gripping a vintage landline phone, with the text “They’re calling my name” in a wavy, staticky font coming out of the speaker. I chose to add the font to reflect the song’s distorted lyrics, which have always sounded like a static phone conversation to me, tying the visuals to the audio’s unsettling fragmented tone.
