Talking about the Eurovision Song Contest made me think of a song and picture for this thread!
This is a song by Anouk, Dutch singer and songwriter. Very famous here. She decided to represent The Netherlands in the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest. The whole country fainted I think because this was so NOT her thing. But she said that we had been sending crap and she wanted to do a real song instead of all the crap (she's very straight forward, not afraid to speak her mind). And she did. She ended 9th. Which ended a long period of Eurovision misery for the Dutch. I think she should have won.
The song is called: Birds
It may need to grow on you a bit. I think it is beautiful.
Isolated from the outside
Clouds have taken all the light
I have no control
It seems my thoughts wonder all of the time
When I try to live life without you
Birds falling down the rooftops
Out of the sky like raindrops
No air, no pride

Down at the Doctors
Dr. Feelgood ‧ 1978
Come here baby
Ain't gonna do you no harm
I just want to shoot
Some rock'n'roll in your arm
Down to the doctors
Down to the doctors
Come on down to the doctors
Make you feel good all night
A classic British Rhythm 'n' Blues group full of energy.

Good song. Love the harmonica! I play one, but I think mine is broken, cause it never sounds like that.

I think I’ve posted this photo in the Cloud forum, but just thought of a good song to go with it.
Just wondering how many folks here are old enough to understand the line “tan legs checkered from a folding chair”

Queen Tie your mother down
Get your party gown
Get your pigtail down
Get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right
Got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight my little
School babe
Your Mamma says you don't
Your Daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time, oh no
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosin' around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight
Get your party gown
Get your pigtail down
Get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right
Got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight my little
School babe
Your Mamma says you don't
Your Daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time, oh no
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Lock your daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosin' around
Tie your mother down
Tie your mother down
Give me all your love tonight

The Common Linnets winning second place with Calm After the Storm at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 with a great song and brilliant camerawork, choreographed like a dance.
(there's a 30 seconds intro)
Driving in a fast lane
Counting mile marker signs
The empty seat beside me
Keeps you on my mind
Livin' in the heartache
Was never something I pursued
I can't keep on chasing
What I can't be for you
Oooh, skies are black and blue
Thinking about you
Here in the calm after the storm
...
This was in camera, but I did do a short gradient on the right edge to darken that part a little bit for this post. The centre where light and dark meet is SOOC. Shortly after, the rainbow appeared.

That drag queen from I think Austria? Totally looking like a woman but with a big, black beard.
