November Challenge 2010 - Play it again Sam - by Ross

[Ross and Cher]

Ok a late start saw "Around our backyard" effectively taken out of play by Bob & Odille, Reflections snavelled by Christoph, Colour by TK and Macro (or a version of) by Jenn, so I have gone for Song Titles/Lyrics...

#1 Burn For You, INXS

Tilt my hat at the sun
And the shadows they burn dark
Light me and I'll burn for you
And the love song never stops
Don't stop it


#2 Knock on wood - Amii Stewart

Only the quick and the dead round here, you know!  Love the fire one and the close up of the wood is good too

[Carmyllie]

I find myself singing as I look at your images! Nice renditions for them both Ross, especially the interpretations. Can't wait to see how your theme evolves!

[Tim N]

"You spin me right round" could be a good one

[bigbob]

Two great shots. But would like to point out rule 4 just because someone has posted a theme doesn't mean that you can't use it, still post yours.
Can't wait to see what you come up with for ring of fire by Johny cash

[tommykelso]

interesting shots and take on these songs..

..Great work

[christophm]

Like your shots.  Especially the fire, as I have not had any luck with fire yet.

#3 Dark side of the moon - Pink Floyd


dark side by ross and cher, on Flickr

Not as bright as I'd like due to a thin layer of cloud (but not likely to get another chance if the weather forecast is right!), and technically there is no song Darkside of the moon lyrics - just the album title, but I'm behind and hoping Bob wasn't a Floyd Fan!!!

Eclipse (the final track)

THere is no dark side of the moon really, as a matter of fact... its all dark!

[Analog6]

Yes there is - Eclipse (Waters) 2:04 (below).  And you should see the video version of this on the Pulse DVD, it is absolutely brilliant - we were watching it the toher night - it is all clips of world leaders and they are So well matched to the lyrics - it's both funny and sad!  And on Pulse there is a chorus singing "I'll see you on the dark side of the moon" while the special effects shows a simulated eclipse.

All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you Distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."

[christophm]

Great shot of the moon!

[Carmyllie]

Can visualise Carmen Miranda sitting in the crescent singing away with a fruiit and floral hapt...." would you like to swing on a star"?

Very apt and nicely positioned in the frame Ross

[Tim N]

U2 also have a lyric "and the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon" so it could also fit

[tommykelso]

Love this shot... moon shots are hard!

[Ross and Cher]

Don't fence me in...

Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in

Sun Arise

(Rolf Harris and Harry Butler)
Sun Arise come every mornin'
Sun Arise come every mornin'
Sun Arise come every mornin'
Bringin' back the warmth to the ground


Sun Arise fillin' up the hollow
Sun Arise fillin' up the hollow
Sun Arise fillin' up the hollow
Bringin' back the warmth to the ground


Sun Arise, she come every mornin'
Sun Arise, each and every day
Sun Arise, she come every mornin'
Sun Arise
ever-y ever-y ever-y ever-y day


She drive away the darkness everyday
She drive away the darkness everyday
She drive away your darkness everyday
Bringin' back the warmth to the ground

[Ross and Cher]

Honey Honey

ABBA

Honey, honey, how you thrill me, ah, hah, honey, honey
Honey, honey, nearly kill me, ah, hah, honey, honey
I'd heard about you before, I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine
Oh, you make me dizzy

[Analog6]

Lovely capture of the honey eater, well done!

[Carmyllie]

All 3 are gorgeous Ross. Sun Arise is simply beautiful, with muted signs of dawn on the land, and a sky which defies description - majestic maybe? I love Honey Honey too because it shows the comic genius within you ;

[tommykelso]

more great photos from yourself 

Love the sunrise one but for some reason I find myself drawn to the gate shot!  Love the DOF and how sharp the gate is.. well done

[bigbob]

love them all well done

[Ross and Cher]

Having a play with something different - time lapse - unfortunately can't get it to embed, so link only...

As time goes by (Louis Armstrong Version thanks)

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

[Carmyllie]

Interesting isn't it? Time going by. I often pass a forest and think of all the native fauna and flora, and how we miss so much beauty as time goes by. Special concept Ross. Very well executed.

[christophm]

The time lapse experiment is very interesting.  Good idea!
