What song would you love to shoot?

Well, the good thing is I've learned I'm not alone in my madness.
It would be tempting to make this into a massive project (if the money and legal issues werem't... issues).
 
Steely Dan. 'Rikki Don't Lose that Number' and 'Babylon Sisters'. The possibilities are endless, particularly with the latter.

Ernst
 
I'd like to do the Darkness on the Edge of Town album by Springsteen. A lot of images pass thru my mind every time I hear that album.

Eric
 
erikhaugsby, I don't know, I've never heard or listened to them (Sublime). But he did get a couple of Platinum Records out of it. I'm lucky to have him, but not because of Sublime.

Wow, excellent thread!

Here's one of my favorite album:

The_Concerts_in_China_Jarre_Album.jpg



Anybody else like Jean Michel Jarre? There is one song in this album in which a very somber/mellow tune are overlaid with dialogs in chinese and ... shutter sound. Sounds weird, but very good and soothing.

I'm glad this idea finally took off.

I know, I keep nodding, "ah, yes! that one, ooh, ya, that one too", as I read this thread.

Very good thread in a while that is not filled with angst, ego, and eye-glazing minutia.

Wayne, I miss your original thread, but this one is good also. Thanks Tom!

Just to reiterate some of my favorites in this thread and a couple of addition:

The Eagles - "Hotel California" indeed should've been a movie.
Most songs by Meatloaf
Queen (of course) - "Bohemian Rhapsody" what else? :)
Sting - "Englishman In New York" would be very fun
Some hits by Heart
Joe Satriani - "Always With Me, Always With You"
Ryuichi Sakamoto - "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" ... wait, this one IS a movie :)

and many many more...
 
What! Noboby wants to do Jimmy Buffet "Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw". We all must be fine art photographers, not 'art' photographers.
 
That's something I'm more likely to do than photograph and I don't think it's anything somebody else might want to view.
 
ChrisPlatt, I don't understand, but Ray Charles maybe dead, but Fats Domino isn't (extant). If they are a metaphor, it is for cool, camp, soul (not soul music), and original. And they are (were) worth photographing. I have never heard their music but Eric thinks Sublime fits in that the camp (different meaning) too. When I see Fats Domino or Ray Charles (images), I hear 'My Blue Heaven' or 'One Mint Julep.' Maybe Eric sees something that Sublime did.

I'd love to shoot "My hump"--shoot it DEAD. Ugh...

Though Alanis did a wonderful cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO9Xx_NZa20

Never cared much for her before, but I dig this. :)


(I suppose I got this whole thread wrong, eh) Serious answer: Dream Theater's "Change of seasons", all 23 minutes.

I have a video on my myspace corner...

...and its by another north american band. Titled "We're All On Drugs", whoever shot that video had a good eye for lighting. In the "Fire Dept At Work" finale scene the lead singer is framed by smoke and alarm lights very nicely.


It's really such a great lyric and drugs really ARE everywhere, even in your food and your clothing it seems. They are integral to the productivity of modern society. Not to worry though, and don't get anxious about things like this for a second -just relax and take some Prozac or whatever.
