A Picture's Worth 1000 Lyrics
Music moves me. More specifically lyrics move me. They always have and sometimes something profound will happen in my life and lyrics to an appropriate song will just jump into my head. Like the day I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and Yesterday by the Beatles played over and over in my head or when Alex and I had to say goodbye the first time it was Lifehouse's Hanging by a Moment. I don't know if that's normal, a gift or a curse but it's me. So when I googled photo themes to pick this week's theme and came across this one, I couldn't not pick it. My friend Andrea had a strong vote for Cityscapes and Skylines but I had to go with my gut. I'm so pleased I did, because the pictures this week are incredibly powerful, insightful pieces of art. If you follow my blog and don't know what I'm referring to - check out the weekly challenge blog here.
This first picture's lyrics came to me before I even got my camera out of my bag - a powerful Memorial Day statement:
"The flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away" - Lee Greenwood
"Lady Picture Show" - Stone Temple Pilots
"Yeah they were all yellow" - Coldplay
"All in all, it's just another brick in the wall" - Pink Floyd
I also have to add that when I shared this week's theme with Alex, he was like OH you should do Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall so when we came across this very cool crumbling brick wall, I took him up on his suggestion :)
"I've finally decided my future lies beyond the yellow brick road" - Elton John

I liked your story leading up to your pictures, lyrics similarily inspire me.
I especially liked the Lady Picture Show shot.
I had no idea you had thyroid cancer, is it gone? I love all the ideas you came up with, and the one you entered into the contest. Very interesting theme this week!
Well, aren't you good at this game??? :) :)
I adore the last one!!
Where oh where do you take these pictures at. It looks like you were all over the country in a day - fantastic!!!!!!!
Love the last one-there is something about the lines of it that really appeals to me.
