{sadly, I don't know the source of this photo - but I got it from this tumblr}

Just as I put on the Michael Kiwanuka album, Home Again, and the first song started playing, I was looking at this photo. And I felt it was just so perfect. 

It was like I was right there at that bench, and this exact song came up on the radio or player in the shop. 

I was transported to that place, I could hear that little dog moving about. 

I was without a single worry.

You may imagine something totally opposite from this photo, but in that moment, I thought it was just perfect.

Images for Songs [Part Deux]

I just felt like Frenching up "two".

For Part 2, I don't have as many photos and they're all from the same photographer. I don't know I just like her style and it just goes so well with the song.

I just picture this girl with her secrets but I don't know how she looks like, it's all so mysterious. Yet, you believe she's real and she's there, and not some dream or imagination. You almost worship her or just the idea of her because you feel the need to believe in a higher power, somewhere. 

I guess these images help conjure the gist of the song, who knows what it actually means. I'm not into analyzing every line of the song. It's the song as a whole that I listen to, the harmony, the instruments, the melody.

Plus, Maynard James Keenan's voice is that of an angel. I really can't describe it. It's too perfect. Listen to 3 Libras and you will know what I'm talking about. (It's listen on my sidebar. Checkit!)

Images for Songs [Part One]

Take a listen to Paolo Nutini's Candy. I did, several times - back-to-back. This song conjured up such a good feeling in me that I decided to find images that I think would fit the mood or feel of the song perfectly. Here they are:

I think Paolo Nutini's voice is awesome, unique - especially for his time. It's so dreamy and just plain good. I need to get his albums soon because they're worth it.

i see songs

But I think everyone else does as well. What else would you be doing while listening to a song? definitely imagining something in your head, maybe a place, an event, people, objects. Or even replaying the video of the song in your head (if there was a video - and if you saw it.)

Well, this one particular song that got me imagining a place was definitely not in the video.

The video: stop motion crazy random sh*t, a little on the line of the lyrics.

In my head: the streets of Paris, or even any cobblestone road and pavement. Oh, don't ask. It just appeared to me as the song came on my player. And I was thoroughly impressed by the ability of Regina Spektor's song to conjure such an image (more like images, actually). But I do have a feeling that it has to do with the piano line..and violins.

Partied with the gang after a long time. It was very, very awesome :)

P.S: what do you see when you listen to particular songs?
