Weekly Challenge 185-Photos suggesting song titles
Posted By: casil403, 11-09-2011, 09:07 PM

Thanks to tessfully for both hosting and coming up with a great theme last week!
So for this week's theme I'm thinking of photos that would be thematic of a song title. Please post the title of the song as well as the artist/band who sang it if you can....bonus points for sneaking in a few lines from the song that represent the photo!
This competition is open from Thursday November 9 to Tuesday November 14 at midnight MST.


The fine print....
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread, and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung DSLR) camera will do.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

And the final rule...be creative and have lots of fun with this one!

Lola

Lola - The Kinks

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne
It tastes just like Coca Cola, C-O-L-A cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice
She said Lola, L-O-L-A, Lola, L-L-Lola

Weezer - Island in the Sun

On an island in the sun
We’ll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can’t control my brain

Helloween - If I could Fly

If I could fly
Like the king of the sky
Could not tumble nor fall
I would picture it all...

Definitely not my best photo, but this one always reminds me of

Heaven must be missing an angel

Your kiss with tenderness
I want all I can get of your sexiness
Showers, your love comes in showers
And every hour of the hour
You let me feel your loving power

There's a rainbow over my shoulder [Ooh, ooh]
When you came, my cup runneth over
You gave me your heavenly love
And if one night you hear crying from above

It's 'cause heaven must be missin' an angel
Missin' one angel, child, 'cause you're here with me right now
Your love is heavenly, baby
Heavenly to me, baby

Peace Train Cat Stevens

Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

When I came across this old tree stump, guess what song popped into my head?

Africa by Toto

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Well for what it's worth. I wasn't thinking about this song when I took it but every time I view it, it reminds me of Dave Matthews Band's "Rhyme & Reason."

"'Oh well oh well so here we stand
But we stand for nothing
My heart calls to me in my sleep
How can I turn to it
'Cause I'm all locked up in this
Dark place - and I do not know
I'm good as dead
My head aches - warped and tied up
I need to kill this pain

My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
'Til I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
'Til I'm six feet under ground"

Johnny Cash: Worried man

Worried man worried man I'm a weary worried man
Hungry babies don't understand papa is a worried man

The place I used to draw my pay slammed the door on me today
And told me just to stay away and no come back again
I went back home to bring the news my woman saw that I had the blues
But she said the babies need new shoes and I'm a worried man

Worried man worried man...
