Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (French pronunciation: [ʒan‿oɡyst dɔminik ɛ̃ɡʁ]; 29 August 1780 – 14 January 1867) was a French Neoclassical painter. Although he considered himself to be a painter of history in the tradition of Nicolas Poussin and Jacques-Louis David, by the end of his life it was Ingres's portraits, both painted and drawn, that were recognized as his greatest legacy.
A man profoundly respectful of the past, he assumed the role of a guardian of academic orthodoxy against the ascendant Romantic style represented by his nemesis Eugène Delacroix. His exemplars, he once explained, were "the great masters which flourished in that century of glorious memory when Raphael set the eternal and incontestable bounds of the sublime in art ... I am thus a conservator of good doctrine, and not an innovator." Nevertheless, modern opinion has tended to regard Ingres and the other Neoclassicists of his era as embodying the Romantic spirit of his time, while his expressive distortions of form and space make him an important precursor of modern art.
oh oh oh
oh oh oh
Hear the echos trough the night
Memory of a lucky night
See reflections of my life
I know I can heal I can heal from the pain inside
Many ways to turn away
But if I'm wrong than the pain will stay
Drive the bitch into the light
I've gotta learn from the pain inside
Love keeps calling my heart
Love keeps calling my heart
I spread my wings and fly away
Fly away from here
Love keeps calling my heart
Love keeps calling my heart
I spread my wings and fly away
Fly away from here
Paid the toll to see the shore
Don' wanna carry this weight no more
See the dark clouds in the sky
I know I can heal I can heal from the pain inside
Cause I don't want this to hurt no more
Time to look for an open door
Drive the bitch into the light
I've gotta deal with the pain inside
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Love keeps calling my heart
Love keeps calling my heart
I spread my wings and fly away
Fly away from here
Love keeps calling my heart
Love keeps calling my heart
I spread my wings and fly away
