Play Release in the UK - a long form art project song request!

I know this one gets requested a lot, but how many people have requested it TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY THREE TIMES!? Thats today's number - because why request a song the regular way when you can turn it into a long form daily art project? The below image is a couple days out of date now, but I do daily uploads on an Instagram which is currently 98% dedicated to this project. Each drawing is PJ related in some way - I started picking lines from songs I'd seen live, illustrating every song from the setlist of the six shows I've been to since 2014, then moved on to every song from every album. I'm currently on Gigaton haha. I won't quite hit 365 days of doodles by Manchester, but I should have every album illustrated so that's something.
Like just about anyone requesting this song I think (the universal language of music in action) I started asking because I lost someone a while back - thing was I didn't realise it at the time. I'd been living with a friend's family for years after my own home environment went from abusive to outright dangerous. I didn't know how families worked or how that was supposed to feel. So when my friend's father died, I didn't understand I was allowed to be sad - it took me a year to figure out I was grieving for the closest thing I had ever had to a dad. Listening to Release and really feeling it in a way I never had before (even though it'd always been my favourite track on Ten) really helped me figuring out what I felt, and why. Song hits different now, but in a good and beautiful way - it helps me miss someone. I never got to tell him what he meant to me. My friend says he knew, I hope so. I hope he'd be proud of me now - I've come a long way in the past 5 years.
Anyway, its been over a decade since Pearl Jam played Release at a UK show so I'm asking for me, but also because it really is about time, don't you think? haha. Anyway here's the art project - I'll update sporadically
Hopefully less carpet in the next photo (I'm a grad student not a photographer haha)
