IMAGES THAT REPRESENT SONGS

[Vexed]

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

[LisaS961881]

                   Eleanor Rigby             The Beatles

[LisaS961881]

     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….

[SereneSeagull]

Iconic!

[BeatleloverKT]

           Comfortably numb, Pink Floyd

[SereneSeagull]

Chillaxing!

[Vexed]

Playing Dumb - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

I thought of Monty Python's John Cleese in his Village Idiot Sketch

[Vexed]

 

The Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel

[BeatleloverKT]

                 Christmas Angel, Bobby Vinton

[Vexed]

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.

[SereneSeagull]

Loved this dog!

[BeatleloverKT]

                   Let’s Turkey Trot, Little Eva

[LisaS961881]

     I Hope You Dance          Lee Ann Womack 

     …..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!

[SereneSeagull]

Beautiful way to approach the day.

[LisaS961881]

    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….

           So here’s to all of us senior daydream believers! 

        

[SereneSeagull]

Great way to experience that song in an uplifting way to look at it.  So true!

[LeeS4949]

 Perfectly put... I hope I never outgrow my dream phase...

[LisaS961881]

       Pretty Paper        Roy Orbison

      

[LisaS961881]

       Still Crazy After All These Years        Paul Simon

[SereneSeagull]

Yes!!  This reminds me of the feeling I get when I see the Amazon ad of the older ladies sledding down the hill, and the joy in their faces.  As the Beatles song, My Life, plays instrumentally in the background.  

[LisaS961881]

      Racing In The Street           Bruce Springsteen

      ~ I got a ‘69 Chevy with a 396 Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor…~

[LisaS961881]

    Cat’s In The Cradle         Harry Chapin

[SereneSeagull]

Such a perfect pic for that song.  One of the best story telling songs out there for the cycle of life and the need for the awareness and appreciation of time we have with our loved ones

[Vexed]

 

Mixed Emotions - The Rolling Stones 

[LisaS961881]

     Stuck In The Middle With You           Stealers Wheel

         

[BeatleloverKT]

My baby must be a magician, Marvelettes

[LisaS961881]

    Take It Easy.        The Eagles

    “Well, I’m a standin’ on a corner in Winslow. Arizona…..”

     The Standin’ On The Corner Park opened in Winslow, Arizona in 1999.

       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.

 (There's) Always Something There To Remind Me

First recorded as a demo by Dionne Warwick of the Burt and Hal song, Lou Johnson

received the first to chart. Then Dionne Warwick had the hit. Covered by many.

[BeatleloverKT]

                    Sloop John B, Beach Boys

[SereneSeagull]

The harmony in that song!
