I know that may sound like an odd question, but let me explain.

I've often heard people say how they are inspired by a certain piece of music, certain style, or lyric etc.
Then today, I'm walking along, and the Zen kicks me onto Roxanne by, of course, Sting & The Police. I'm listening to it and think to myself "This would make a great series of photographs."

So do any of you have a song that you would, if it were a real event, love to photograph?

I asked the same question ages ago

I asked the same question ages ago

It didn't go very far.

You're reading my mind. A photo essay based on a song. I got a million of them banging around in my cranium.

Bob Seeger-lots of them. Hollywood Nights, Down on Mainstreet, Night Moves, etc.

The Eagles-lots of them too. Hotel California, I think this should eb a movie. Several of their early songs are quite visual.

Keep the ideas flowing.
 
Pretenders 'Stop Your Sobbing', most Elton John, most Shania Twain, and some Elvis Costello and Sting.

From Sting 'Fields of Gold' would be my first choice.
 
I'm with Nightlight on this one.

Pink Floyd, Time, is where I would like to start, but I doubt it would make sense to anyone other than me.

"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say"
 
Tangerine Dream: "The Dream Is Always The Same" from the Movie sound track "Risky Business"

How about some Tom Waits?
Pony, Lucinda, Buzz Fledderjohn and $29.00 spring to mind, but his music offers a wealth of possibilities. Poor Edward in particular would be interesting, and quite possibly a little disturbing!
 
The entire Pink Floyd album Meddle. You've gotta want to shoot a song called San Tropez!

and The Decemberists, anybody? "The Mariners Revenge Song" would be a riot to shoot along with.
