#209 - Song Lyrics
Posted By: daacon, 06-17-2012, 06:29 AM

Well here we go - I and others had some good fun with the challenge 202 Band Names , I am going to more or less steal that and modify it to Song Lyrics. So let's post all those winning shots that have been immortalized in song. Please post the song and then lyrics (artist is optional but feel free) .This should cover a very wide range of subjects and everyone should be able to participate

I will post two examples for a start

Song - Home on the Range: Lyric - "where the buffalo roam"


Song - Let's get this party started (Pink) : Lyric - "I'm coming up so you better get this party started"


The challenge is open now and will end on Sunday 24th of June at 12:00 PM GMT-7 (MST) .

My judging will be purely subjective whatever I feel is the best shot that matches the lyric if that helps

So break out your ipod, dust off your vinyl , pop in your cassettes and 8 tracks and Let's Get It On (Marvin Gaye btw )


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. If it's no obvious, explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme.
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge closes after 7 days, then allows for 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, the winner will PM the #2 winner and pass the baton to that person to be the judge.

Good one, Dave. Happy Father's Day all you dads!

I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor

...I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive...!

Candle in the Wind (Elton John)
And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never knowing who to cling to

When the rain set in

And I would have liked to have known you

But I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before

Your legend ever did

"I'm way beyond the gavel and the laws of man
Still living in the palm of the grace of your hand
The worlds not easy the blind man said
Turns on nothing but money and dread
Dogs been scratching at the door all nite
Long neck birds flying out of the moon light"

-- Tom Waits, Sins of My Father

You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
über alles in der Welt,
wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
brüderlich zusammenhält,
von der Maas bis an die Memel,
von der Etsch bis an den Belt –
|: Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
über alles in der Welt. :|

Rush - Roll the Bones

We go out in the world and take our chances
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That's the way that lady luck dances
Roll the bones

Forget the theme Dave. I agree it started out great and the sleeping lion picture is spot on. But now I'm just admiring the photos from Gerbermeister and atupdate in their own right.

The Rose

When the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long

And you think that love is only

for the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snow

Lies the seed

That with the sun's love, in the spring

Becomes the rose
