Yeah...I love music...actually the world love is underselling my feelings for it, but for the purposes of this exercise, I will say love. This week, the lovely Kristine over at Random & Odd has brought us...A Lyric in a Song...basically find a lyric in a song that describes a photo. Now I could do this all day, but I only pulled a few out of my archives...remember...click on the pic for a larger size.
"The spin of the earth impaled a
silhouette of the sun on the steeple."
- Elliott Smith - "Everything Reminds Me of Her"
"
Isnt that a pretty sun
Setting in a pretty sky?
Will we stay and watch it darken?
Will we stay and watch it darken?
Her church not made with hands"
- The Waterboys - "Her Church Not Made With Hands"
... just as an aside...I love this song mostly due to the fact the opening lines are loosely taken from the final page of C.S. Lewis' series "The Chronicles of Narnia", where Aslan states, "the term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is ended: this is the morning."
"And when that queen’s daughter came of age,
I think she’d be lovely and
stubborn and brave,
and suitors would journey from kingdoms away
just to
make themselves known."
- Okkervil River - "A Stone"
this is my ex's (Army of Mom)daughter and I promise you that Army of Mom/Dad will have their hands full years from now:-)
"And it's me who's too weak
And it's
me who's too shy
To ask for the thing I love"
-Paula Cole - "Me"
Don't think I have to add anything else. (yes...its a rare self portrait)
I like coming here and finding new music, I tend to stay with my favorites. I see from your list you like female voices, have you ever listened to Cowboy Junkies? Margo's voice is so mesmerizing.

Uzz and I loved the Cowboy Junkies back in our college days. :) I know I still like them. I got a sampling of them in the rental car on XM radio. I need that! Anyway. Good ones, as usual. I played, too. Mine were less soulful and more amusing.

I don't know any of those songs, but I love the photos, particularly the last one! Very haunting!

Oh I love the Waterboys! They remind me so much of college. I need more Waterboys and less Elmo in my life right now!
Thanks for stopping by my place, have a good week!
