Pop,Rock, and Soul! Righteous Brothers – Rock And Roll Heaven If you believe in forever / Then life is just a one-night stand / If there’s a rock and roll heaven / Well you know they’ve got a hell of a band, band, band Jimmy gave us rainbows / And Janis took a piece of our hearts / And Otis brought us all to the dock of a bay / Sing a song to light my fire / Remember Jim that way / They’ve all found another place / Another place to play If you believe in forever / Then life is just a one-night stand / If there’s a rock and roll heaven / Well you know they’ve got a hell of a band, band, band Remember bad bad Leroy Brown / Hey Jimmy touched us with that song / Time won’t change a friend we came to know / And Bobby gave us Mack the Knife / Well look out, he’s back in town / They’ll all be there together / When they meet in one big show If you believe in forever / Then life is just a one-night stand / If there’s a rock and roll heaven / Well you know they’ve got a hell of a band, band, band There’s a spotlight waiting / No matter who you are / ‘Cause everybody’s got a song to sing / Everyone’s a star / (Everybody’s got to be a star) If you believe in forever / Then life is just a one-night stand / If there’s a rock and roll heaven / Well you know they’ve got a hell of a band If you believe in forever / Then life is just a one-night stand / If there’s a rock and roll heaven / Well you know they’ve got a hell of a band If you believe in forever / Then life is just a one-night stand / If there’s a rock and roll heaven / Well you know they’ve got a hell of a band, band, band

Don't Be Lonesome Tonight (I'm Still Here) by Alison Pearce

Pencil and charcoal on Hunter’s acid free paper For Music Inspired Art’s Three Kings challenge Primitive Naive representation of Elvis Presley still crooning from a silver lined cloud, raining stars down upon us. To me, of the three, Elvis will always be The King! Are You Lonesome Tonight / Performed by Elvis Presley (words & music by roy turk and lou handman) / Are you lonesome tonight, / Do you miss me tonight? / Are you sorry we drifted apart? / Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day / When I kissed you and called you sweetheart? / Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare? / Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there? / Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? / Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? I wonder if you’re lonesome tonight / You know someone said that the worlds a stage / And each must play a part. / Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart. / Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance / You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue / Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange / And why I’ll never know. / Honey, you lied when you said you loved me / And I had no cause to doubt you. / But I’d rather go on hearing your lies / Than go on living without you. / Now the stage is bare and Im standing there / With emptiness all around / And if you wont come back to me / Then make them bring the curtain down. Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? / Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
Cry by Michael Jackson by Debbie Sandersfeld

Somebody shakes when the wind blows / Somebody’s missing a friend, hold on / Somebody’s lacking a hero / And they have not a clue / When it’s all gonna end Stories buried and untold / Someone is hiding the truth, hold on / When will this mystery unfold / And will the sun ever shine / In the blind man’s eyes when he cries? [Chorus:] / You can change the world (I can’t do it by myself) / You can touch the sky (Gonna take somebody’s help) / You’re the chosen one (I’m gonna need some kind of sign) / If we all cry at the same time tonight People laugh when they’re feelin sad / Someone is taking a life, hold on / Respect to believe in your dreams / Tell me where were you / when your children cried last night? Faces fill with madness / Miracles unheard of, hold on / Faith is found in the winds / All we have to do / Is reach for the truth [Chorus] And when that flag blows / There’ll be no more wars / And when all calls / I will answer all your prayers [Chorus x3] Change the world / Cry”

a sorta fairytale by Jeff Clark

Please view large (it looks creepy otherwise!) I used 12 different resources and shots of my own to include my wife’s face (on an elongated model), a castle in Germany, the hill that stonehenge is on, a hedge from the botanical garden in Bath, England, a butterfly from the butterfly hut in Mannheim Germany’s Luisenpark and some different textures I have in my folders. Title is from the song by Tori Amos by the same name.
Tangerine (Love Is) by restlessd

Please listen to the music (below) as it enhances the viewing, reading experience When love leaves you / You may cry / For in your heart / It will remain. Love can bring / So much joy, / Why must it / Bring such pain? Just remember / When it’s real, / That love is / Truly pure. Then any pitfall / You may encounter / You surely / Can endure. . . a rhonda original© 2010 This song was playing in the Princesses chamber one day and she was struck by the similarities of the subject of the song to her circumstances with her dearest Penascus. / They able to meet only in secret, beyond the knowledge of her guardian The Vanilla Queen as she has strictly forbidden the union of these two. / Princess Margaret is acutely aware of the consequences of this forbidden love. This song, even though painful, sets her heart in a hopeful, longing flutter. Her & her beloved will be together one day. . . / Love is Truly Pure. . . The song inspired her to commission the creation of this kaleidoscope image in commemoration of her Highnesses love of Led Zeppelin. She hopes that it will bring you great pleasure as you enjoy it with the music. . . / Tangerine – Led Zeppelin / a fave from my teen years :) #27 in the princess series / An Apophysis flame rendered, treated in PSP for various transfigurations and fine tuned in PSCS2.

You Know That You're Snowed In... by Polly Peacock

You know that you’re snowed in when you start taking pictures of the emergency television broadcast. On February 6th, 2010, the sky burst wide open to produce abundant snowflakes, which quickly laid on everything in sight. Close to two feet, it crippled parts of Southern New Jersey with 40,000 people still out of electricity on February 9th, 2010. Another expected snow storm is headed this way on February 9th, 2010. Where will it go? I suppose it will soon turn into giant snow mountains, which will be fun to dig tunnels in! LOL! This was the 2nd largest snowstorm recorded in Pennsylvania history! Newsworthy, huh? You know that you are snowed in when your Mother leaves a message on your cell singing this song: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow This photograph was shot with a Canon 40D, equipped with an 18-55mm lens and a 55mm 0.5x lens attached to it in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The image was altered with a Vignette Orton effect.
