What Goes Together?

.
Steve Miller Band – Fly Like An Eagle
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future

Neil Young's OHIO Direct influence for me

Lee Greenwood --"Proud To Be An American"
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.

Crazy Train - Ozzy Osborne

I played this rendition while I painted this:

and I cried through this:


as I painted:

USA National Anthem -- The Star Spangled Banner

Sibelius - Finlandia

My painting, though painted from an actual photo, was definitely influenced by Simon and Garfunkel
"Old friends, sit on their park bench like bookends, wrapped in their overcoats, waiting for the sun..."

"Tequila Sunrise" -- there is a song by the Eagles with the same name.

The Star Spangled Banner (actually goes with a lot of my military/fort images). I just uploaded these yesterday - and will likely make a color-splash effect with the B&W image.

And one more - with a song that I like to perform on acoustic guitar. "Bad Moon Rising" by Credence Clearwater Revival.

"It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" is a song performed by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett, and written by Jim "Moose" Brown and Don Rollins.

Kenny Rogers -- Islands In The Stream

"Maryland State Song"
James Ryder Randall -- Maryland My Maryland

"Moonlight in Vermont" (John Blackburn & Karl Suessdorf)
,
A beautiful song that paints a beautiful scene, while breaking the Prime Rule in song writing.

The lyrics DO NOT RHYME ..And most people are not even aware of that fact

Kraftwerk - The Robots.



La partie de cartes by Fernand Léger painted in 1917.

Jim, I'm singing honesty,

Song: "Les Bicyclettes de Belsize" (even though the image is in Amsterdam, not England. Yes, in spite of the title being en Francais, Belzise is a park in London.)
For some reason the word bicyclette has always appealed to me.

Beethoven's 5th Symphony. The opening image and the closing images of this video are the famous notes of his symphony as art pieces. The music is the symphony. The video tells a story of turbulence.

Don Mclean's American Pie

Christopher Cross -- "Sailing"

"Red Sails in The Sunset"
Words by Jimmy Kennedy and Music by Hugh Williams

"Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring"

I know it looks obvious, but that isn't how it happened. I wanted to make a piece of sheet music look vintage and I just used some copies I had, not even noticing the titles. Only after I had photographed it, did I read the title. I had another piece of music where the ink ran, so I couldn't use that one. It was "Joy to the World." What are the chances of that randomly happening?

Rod Stewart ....... I Am Sailing




I Am Sailing
Rod Stewart

I am sailing
I am sailing
Home again
'Cross the sea
I am sailing,
Stormy waters
To be near you,
To be free
I am flying,
I am flying
Like a bird
'Cross the sky
I am flying,
Passing high clouds
To be with you,
To be free
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Through the dark night, far away
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you, who can say
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Through the dark night far away
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you, who can say

Ooooooh, I love Sailing VIVA. I am a huge Rod Stewart fan, especially the Faces. I've seen him perform twice, but unfortunately both concerts were post Faces. What I would give to see that reunion live! Cindy Incidentally is one of my most fave songs eva.

Here's a few more for ya:

Let the Mystery Be, from the wonderful Iris DeMent song…



Rust Never Sleeps, from the album by amazing Neil Young & Crazy Horse…

Time in a Bottle
Jim Croce
LYRICS
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

Welcome, my son.
Welcome to the machine.
What did you dream?
It's alright, we told you what to dream.

~Pink Floyd~

Us and Them
And after all, we're only ordinary men.

~Pink Floyd~

Dave....thank you so much...VIVA

Your welcome,

Dave

Iris has that lonely quality that makes blue grass melt.

Dave

My title is a play on words but the relation is to the song, "Time In A Bottle" by Jim Croce - 1973

And a voice like no other! You can't possibly mistake her voice for anybody's. So. Much. Awesome.

" You were only waiting for this moment to be free" ( The Beatles)

My "Blackbird" is a vulture

"A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock 'N Roll" - Donnie & Marie Osmond
Writen by Marty Cooper

Simon and Garfunkel

"Bookends"

Time it was
And what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence
A time of confidences

Long ago it must be
I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They're all that's left you.

"All By Myself" -- Eric Carmen
Release Date: December 1, 1975

"Wild One" is a song written by Dave Appell, Kal Mann, and Bernie Lowe. It was released as a single by Bobby Rydell in 1960. The song became a big hit for Rydell, spending 16 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 peaking at No. 2, while peaking at No. 10 on the R&B chart, No. 7 in the United Kingdom, and No. 11 in Australia.

"Lilac Wine" There are a few versions but I like Jeff Buckley's rendition.

"Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be"

Paul Simon - Homeward Bound



"I'm sitting in the railway station.
Got a ticket to my destination.
On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.
And every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.
Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me."

Joe Tex, These Taming Blues
Phosphorescent

Is it ever gonna not be so hard to see you around?
Am I really really really really gonna have to really gonna have to really have to leave town?
I mean I called upon a bunch of angels calling angels ain't you supposed to come and take away these blues?
I mean we came upon a bunch of rabies and there is nothing all us little animals can do.
All five kinds of rains
All nine kinds of thunder and
Eighteen white horses who will not ever come to me!
Don't plant your feet, love, in that garden of blame.
Don't break me no more, love.
I'm already tame.
Is it ever gonna stop this trouble of just being around my friend?
Am I really really really really gonna have to really gonna have to really have to leave town again?
I mean I lay myself upon the water calling water ain't you supposed to come and save us all from all these flames?
I mean we're caught among the awful branches and you know they're burning us and yes they're burning all of us's names.
And I stood on the shore.
All wilted and wondering,
"Ain't you got nobody, ain't you still sweet tonight?"
So don't plant no more feet, love, in that forest of blame.
Don't break me no more, love.
I'm already tame.
