Pictures and Words



Remember this song from last week? Well, I've been thinking a lot about pairing words and pictures. Or lyrics and pictures. I liked the simplicity of the words, the images they conveyed, and this is what I came up with. A fun exercise, don't you think? What lyrics would you use?

Florence + The Machine - Cosmic Love

I work in an open environment and need to block out the conversations around me sometimes. Florence helps me do that.

Have a lovely weekend, my friends!

Yellow

So, I'm probably a latecomer to the whole cloud technology thing, but I bought music from Amazon the other day and was asked to store it on my new free cloud. Really? Who doesn't want their own cloud? Free? Okay. Well, I took the offer of a free cloud and downloaded the music anyway, but I've become addicted to Florence and the Machine's 'Rabbit Heart'. There's this one line from the song that sends chills up my spine. And it fits with today's color; yellow.


This is a gift it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
When Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight

A few thoughts on yellow. It's taken me some years to warm up to the color yellow, ochre, lemon. Whatever you call it, it's almost more an attitude than a color. It's attractive on so few people; it's stubborn that way. I wore it today anyway, in homage.

Florence & The Machine - Dog Days are Over

I'm giving you a little music early again because I'm packing up to go on another mini-vacation with some special ladies. This time I'm headed south where the dog days are not entirely over, and I can drink in the last few drops of summer.



Enjoy the frenzy!
