Description The Tree Of Life

For once, I am going to say much about this shot and just let the song lyrics below speak to the message I am trying to convey with this photograph.
---John

Tanya Tucker-Strong Enough To Bend

There's a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
And the reason its still standing
It was strong enough to bend

For years, we have stayed together
As lovers and as friends
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend

When you say something that you can't take back
Big wind blows and you hear a little crack
When you say "Hey well I might be wrong"
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone
Sway with the wind till the storm is gone

Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend

When you start thinkin' that you know it all
Big wind blows and a branch will fall
When you say "Hey this job takes two"
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue

Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend
Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend.

I have heard of here name, I just don't know what kind of music she plays. Considering that I listen to bands like Wolves in the Throne Room and Iced Earth.... definitely NOTHING mainstream for me

kkart In reply to PaulGana [2009-09-08 03:24:09 +0000 UTC]

lol I listen to everything all over the spectrum, though my love lies in rockabilly and psychobilly, from Charlie Feathers & Jack Baymoore, to Tiger Army, to The Nekromantix & The Cramps.

yeah but I doubt you have never heard of Wolves in the Throne Room nor Tartaros, nor vesperian Sorrow?????? How about Nox Mortar????

I have heard of Nekromantix, but not heard their music though

The ominous cloud in the background add so much to this image- especially to the right of the tree where it looks like it is raining. I do like the concept to this piece, as the tree is mixed with leaves and bare branches. It fits very nicely with the lyrics.
