One picture, one song.
« on: February 16, 2022, 10:22:19 AM »
Hi fellow posters,

Very often, I come across something or someone and a MK related song then pops-up on my mind. Most of the time it’s while I’m away from home and it’s related to a landscape but it can be anything like a shop window, a picture, an unknown person or just an atmosphere, for instance early in the morning or late in the day. It works well on holidays, probably because I’m more laid back.

Last summer, we played a game with my old dude SamGolden : we started to take pictures of a moment and associate them with a song ; we « WhatsApped » some stuff! It was either well-spotted or kinda mysterious for the other one but most of the time it was pretty funny, and that was the point!

So we thought, why not playing the game here? I’m sharing two pictures to illustrate the idea and start the topic. Feel free to contribute at the discretion of your mood, travels etc.

One picture, one song or one song, one picture.

Me and the wanderlust

Or The Bug.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Oooooh, great idea. Around 10 years ago I was leading the Russian MK&DS fan club and made quite a lot of posts about Mark's songs. I roughly translated the song, told interesting facts if there are any, included great covers, if there are any, but part of the fun was to include a picture with the post. Any post looks better with pictures, so I'll now bombard this thread with my choices, some of the photos I took myself specifically for this. So I've been working for Mark for a loooong time already.

Welcome Pavel and thank you very much for your message. A very nice photo that you posted. We had the same song idea this morning. It's the idea of relaxing a little with lightness and conviviality between fans and I hope between friends.
Thanks my friend Nico to launch this topic here.

Yeah, that's certainly some relaxing content right there. I always loved pictures and art just like I love music, this is why I wish Mark's cover arts would be more creative sometimes.

On Every Street

That's one of my pictures. When I was a student in the late 2000s, I went to the deserted part of a city, found a deserted building and there I found some glass doors laying around, two of them had these white arrows, so I went ahead, lifted the doors up in the sky and took the photo, still to this day it reminds me of "On Every Street".
