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.

Do You Hear What I Hear Harry Simeone Chorale and many many more!
I have enjoyed hearing this song being performed at many Elementary School holiday concerts. While an image of a little lamb always comes to mind, I also sometimes recall that this was written during the Cuban Missile Crisis. While at that time I was too young to understand why the grown-ups were watching the TV News more often and sometimes whispering to each other, I now find some comfort in the realization that this song was written as a plea for peace.
I’ll Be Home For Christmas Bing Crosby
This song was originally released during World War II, and is sung from the point of view of a soldier stationed overseas.
It is this photo of Vietnam 1960, that comes closest to the image that I see in my mind’s eye whenever I hear, “if only in my dreams”.
Thank you Veterans for your service.
O Christmas tree, Kenny G&many others
A Holly Jolly Christmas Burl Ives
Whenever I hear this song, I usually imagine this guy doing that odd little footless side-to-side shuffle through the snow!
