Thought it would be fun to find photos or illustrations that depict songs. Either depicting the title or what the song is about or means to you. Fun or Serious.

"I Am The Walrus" - The Beatles
Silver Bells. Bing Crosby and lots of other Crooners
….every time that I hear this song, I am instantly transported back to magical childhood visits to the city during Christmas time - the lighted tree that reached the sky, the window displays, and the Salvation Army band….
Comfortably numb, Pink Floyd
Playing Dumb - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
I thought of Monty Python's John Cleese in his Village Idiot Sketch
The Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel
Christmas Angel, Bobby Vinton
Kind of a Drag - The Buckinghams
I thought of TV's Columbo , when his dog didn't want to leave the grooming shop.
Did find the clip.

…..the lyrics are so fitting during this week of giving thanks. In the midst of the pandemic, when the world became a much smaller place and seemed pretty bleak, my friend and I vowed to greet every day with a gratitude list. …..and we’ve never stopped doing so!
Daydream Believer The Monkees
…..when I posted this title about ten minutes ago, I smiled when I realized that the image in my mind’s eye wasn’t teenaged me gazing out a classroom window, but 60-something me sipping coffee and still believing….

This is just one of those universal lyrics - like that scene from Almost Famous when they all just break out singing “Tiny Dancer” on the bus.
