Inspired by Hilary and the talent she has for combining song lyrics with her beautiful photographs, I decided to share some of my own pictures and a few words from each song on the latest Rush CD.
**(the band, people!!)**
“Sometimes the fortress is too strong
or the love is too weak”[Armor And Sword]
“Though we might have precious little
It’s still precious”[Bravest Face]
“The best we can agree on
Is it could have been worse
What happened to your old
Benevolent universe?”[Good News First]
Like a stone in the river
Against the floods of Spring
I will quietly resist[Faithless]
“The ebb and flow of tidal fortune”
[Far Cry]
“Driving down the razor’s edge between past and future
I turn up the music and smile, eyes on the road ahead”[Workin' Them Angels]
“Why such different fortunes and fates?
Some are blessed and some are cursed
Some live behind iron gates
While others see only the worst”[The Larger Bowl (A Pantoum)]
“Like the solitary pine
On a bare wind-blasted shore
We can only grow the way the wind blows”[The Way The Wind Blows]
“How many times
Do we tire of all the little battles”[We Hold On]
“As the sun goes down on the western shore”
[Spindrift]

Oh, well done KC! Lovely photos, I like the one of Superdad holding the baby in the tent. The sunset over the water is beautiful.
The name on the headstone is my grandfathers name! Of course, there is probably no connection, but, weird.

KC you did a wonderful job of matching beautiful photos with touching lyrics. I love the solitary pine, the gravestone, and the street photo of the homeless. Just perfect. And thank you so much for the mention and linkage. I’m touched (and not just in the head).

That is very cool! I like that idea, of combining lyrics with pictures…it’s very poetic.
What did you have planned for Friday? Time?
