Pair artwork with lyrics of favorite songs, individuals or groups. List in the forum 5-10 of your favorite bands and performers. It will be interesting to see how many of the members in our group share the same passion for a particular vocalist, song writer and/or band. I have paired several of my photographs with lyrics from some very talented artists including: Bob Dylan, Pink, Iron Maiden, Michael Jackson, Carly Simon, Billy Joel, Maria Muldaur, Doors, Cat Stevens, Elton John etc. I have a file of many lyrics that I will pair with photographs that fit the theme of my photographic image. Music is a universal language to be shared. I have observed some artists painting the lyrics of songs as well as CD covers, one of the most underestimated art forms. The winner of this challenge will win their choice of a $20 voucher from Red bubble, the book published by Red Bubble, “In The Moment” or your choice of any card of one of the members of our group. I want to solidify the group experience by supporting our members and selling their cards is very encouraging and reinforcing. My hope is that every member has a card sold during their membership in this group. Also future gifts will be donations to charities that afflict our members to promote research and more effective treatments for medical and psychological disorders. Please submit your art paired with lyrics from your favorite artists by May 15th.

You are a mind reader, Julie… or maybe I’m psychic. Yesterday I was thinking of this song-to-photo possibility. Now I don’t have any good excuses to not do it :( …I hate not having good excuses! :) :)

Hey, Canada has a well-known group called “The Bare-Naked Ladies”. I’d like to post a series photos to represent them, but I haven’t found any models to volunteer yet. I’m workin’ on it… hard.

Mooseman,
Get going. They might be frightened of you. You might have better luck with the
group, The Bare-Naked Men"!

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE SONGS LYRICS
We got just one shot of life, lets take it while were still not afraid.
Because life is so brief and time is a thief when youre undecided.
And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands.
Young hearts be free tonight. time is on your side,
ROD STEWARTYoung TurksDont let them put you down, dont let em push you around,
Dont let em ever change your point of view.
I need a sign to let me know you’re here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
’Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup
And I’m calling all angels
I’m calling all you angels
When children have to play inside so they don’t disappear
TRAINCalling All AngelsAnd private eyes solve marriage lies cause we don’t talk for years
And football teams are kissing Queens
and losing sight of having dreams
In a world that what we want is only what we want until it’s ours

I have always liked linking art with music in a complimentary merge. Often i create movies and use ambiant background sound work that does not compete with the visual aspect. As well I like to use wordless music.
