Sometimes a song has such vivid and beautiful language that it’s almost as if you can see everything that the lyrics say. Songs such as these are undeniably art. Here are a few songs that I feel have such beautiful lyrics that it is almost as if they create a painting in your mind. I’ve also included different artists’ interpretation of what they see:
I was following the pack
All swaddled in their coats
With scarves of red tied ’round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin’ in the snow
And I turned ’round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
And turn the white snow red as strawberries
In the summertime
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
From the ‘Perfect’ official lyric video by Steve New Tasty
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she’s gone
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by LaurenRose19 on Deviantart
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
I couldn’t find any art for this song (and it’s so beautiful that it deserves art) so this is a quick painting I did myself
