Music and all that jazz

It has been known here - in France, where it began - as "Fête de la Musique" since 1982, but it has spread to other countries as well, and I'm told that is is now called "World Music Day" in other parts of the world. It takes place on June 21st every year and is the only day of the year that there is no sound restriction at night, in France at least... There are free concerts everywhere, in every city, town and village, and since its purpose is to promote music, amateur musicians are encouraged to perform their skills in the streets as well. It is a very popular festival in France (I'm sure it's popular in other countries, too, music is always popular) and there are always big crowds everywhere, either playing, dancing, or watching.

So, today, in preparation for the festival, I thought I'd share all the music related deviations (most of them photos, which is why I'm submitting this news article in the photography section) I've found, with the rest of the community. Why don't you join me in the celebration? Actually, why not make some kind of art of your own concerning music, too (or more of it, if you already have, hehe), be it songs, poems on the theme, photos, etc...? I think it'd be a good way to celebrate. That and turn the music up (or on) too!

And don't forget to go check out the deserving artists who created these deviations.

TornTorn!
Between my mind and soul
Torn!
I need your love to make me whole
Lost my heart in the Light of all your lies
Cannot see me behind your cold, dark eyes
Drawn to you through falsehood I couldn't see
I'll never betray you, you're ev'rything to me
I gave to you all that I had and you wanted more
You left my Heart broken and lying dead on the floor
Alone in the dark, I shiver against the cold
Without you around, there's no one for me to hold
Torn!
Between my mind and soul
Torn!
I need your love to make me whole
Cannot bring myself to call your name
Lost inside my mind and you're to blame
Never Love again as long as I live
Locked away my Heart until you forgive
Torn!
Between my mind and soul
Torn!
I need your love to make me whole
Torn!
Between my mind and soul
Torn!
I need your love to make me whole
Never again, no, never again, you're haunting me
Left me again, you left me again, you're killing me
I'm torn! Torn
Legends and LoreAs time shreds by
Through the forgotten days,
Through stories untold
and lives unknown.
A lone book holds
These secrets of old,
Where stories unfold
As legends are told
And Heroes are forged
In the forgotten lore.
Another hero rises
from the depths
to challenge the gods
and seal his seat
upon the Throne
of Eternity
Ascending the mountain peak
he raises sword and shield
in silent duel, daring the gods
to fight against this solitary figure
who is pure of heart
and free within his soul
"Open your gates
to meet my challenge"
he cries out...
Prepare for battle
young warrior
your greatest test
is at hand
He must prevail
Another hero rises
from the depths
to challenge the gods
and seal his seat
upon the Throne
of Eternity. Legends and Lore
Kiss by the Shadow of Insanityyou know its killing me
your shadow is sewn to mine
and somehow i can't see
im slowly going blind
but yet i hold onto
the promise that you made
your lips, they came unglued
turning me away
catch me
im falling
insanity
saves me
the darkness won't receed
im running out of time
my heart rate will decrease
as the light leaves from my eyes
tell your shadow to let me live
i have some things to do
show me you can give a little
and maybe i wont leave you
catch me
im falling
insanity
saves me
(bridge)
catch me
im falling
insanity
saves me
catch me
im falling
insanity
killed me Untitled Song
Big Money SunnyIn your tailored suit
Perfect manicured nails
Gold dripping off you
Not a hair out of place
You sit above
In a fine leather chair
Above all you create
Watching the daily rat race
The grass is greener
On your side of the fence
Big Money Sunny
But it never rains where you are
Isn't that funny?
Try as you might
You're still going to fry
When the trees vaporize
And the animals die
You made the worlds industries
You drink from the economy flow
From the Blood and Body of Mother Earth
You profit from Evil seeds you sew
The grass is greener
On your side of the fence
Big Money Sunny
But it never rains where you are
Isn't that funny?
Your pockets are full
Your belly is fat
Sitting atop your high perch
You can't even fathom that you're the rat
You've got your hand in everything
From the medicines we need
To the poison we breathe
Billions die daily from your greed
The grass is greener
On your side of the fence
Big Money Sunny
But it never rains where you are
Isn't that funny? Big Money Sunny
AngelI've fallen for an angel
And nothing in the world can compare
To the beauty of her soul
So forgive me if I stare
I just want to let you know
Exactly how I feel
You lift me up
On golden wings
You're the one
For whom my heart sings
I love the joy
Your presence brings
Your heart and soul are
Two of my favorite things
I've fallen for an angel
Who's been taken far away
I want to tell her how I feel
But don't know what to say
The price of her love
Is a price I'll gladly pay
You lift me up
On golden wings
You're the one
For whom my heart sings
I love the joy
Your presence brings
Your heart and soul are
Two of my favorite things
I love the way you live
I love the praise you give
But I hate that you're with him
I've fallen for an angel
And nothing in the world can compare
To the beauty of her soul
So forgive me if I stare
I just wanted to let you know
Exactly how I feel Angel
