One of my favorite songs as attatched...
Mona lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile, that mystic smile
Is it only cause youre lonely they have blamed you?
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile?
Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your....doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?
Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of... Art.
~Thank you to a very nice friend KOOHASANEH that allowed me to have the picture she took of Mona Lisa~
It's a beautiful song. Just right for a quiet evening
ReplyDeleteA fitting song as the other night I was watched Paul McCartney playing in concert and it was on a special. I can't discribe it but music is the international language of the world. It transcends each and everyone of us.
ReplyDeleteI love this song as well - my friends tell me it's too old a song for me, but I love this
ReplyDeleteSome songs surpass age and time...it's a song that was done before I was born! And I love it.
ReplyDeletetrue! I should thank my dad too for introducing me to some great old songs- thanks for this- I am humming while reading your post
ReplyDeletethis is my very special song..
ReplyDeletei saw the smile of Mona Lisa from the genuine painting..but from a distance as allowed..
this is the best shot i had http://koohasaneh.multiply.com/photos/album/138/Louvre_Museum_2008_Europe_Trip#68
Nat King Cole was someone from an earlier era than my own. But there came a time I really took to some of the music that was before my time. And look how many musician have as well. But ~ Mona~ was a special one.
ReplyDeleteWow that is really a picture taken there. Unbelieveable. The painting is one that most all can relate too as well. Special song and special painting.
ReplyDeleteG'day Jack,
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a beautiful song
Good morning at 6:00am here Wendy. Just having a coffee before heading off today. The next page I think you might recall as well. I thought I would do a post on some music and Paul McCartney (if you wish) from this special was on my mind - but hello and good morning sending over a cup of coffee. No I won't as you are in a different time zone. :)
ReplyDeleteThis song reminded me to my visit to Louvre.. When I have seen Mona Lisa on painting and her " famous"smile I was total disappointed.I didn't find that subtile necessary communication with that painting..I didn't find any artistic fluid with it.. oposite ,, I liked very much painting situated left from Mona Lisa.. Wedding at Cana by Paolo Veronese...I don't like religious theme on paintings but this painting is so full of artistic swings It is like you are a part of scene on it
ReplyDeleteI love old songs and I owe it all to my mom who used to play all her old songs all day long and even sing along with them. I like Nat King Cole's version of it.
ReplyDeleteI sort of regard Mona Lisa as my "song" since my name is a derivative of Lisa. Besides, I don't think there are other songs titled Lisa.
When I visited the Louvres, the Mona Lisa is the first painting I went to see. Not because I thought it was the best painting there, just out of curiosity. I agree with "acilim" below that Wedding at Cana by Paolo Veronese is a painting more worthy of awe than the Mona Lisa. But the Mona Lisa is an icon and people make it a "must" to see it while in Paris.
Very nice indeed...
ReplyDeleteIndeed, very much so.
ReplyDeleteDo it within your own way. As with anything you can take a canvass and create how you wish to create something but Mil, I do know what you mean with being in the right state of mind or flow with painting. I am not a painter but I think anything artistic in any form - does require the something that allows one to flow into something. The paint without the picture of Mona Lisa and paint while you listen to the song by Nat King Cole. ~ Just a thought~
ReplyDeleteIn a way Lise I relate it with just a person that was resistant to the things that came her way. While I was writing it I was thinking about Paul McCartney and the song Eleanor Rigby. Go figure...
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Paris and the closest I will get is probably within the pictures you showed on your blog of Quebec City. That to me is so tremendous and rich in a different way that I have never seen before. I am not familiar with Cana by Paolo Veronese.
That is what I love to do. That is my little hobby of sorts as for Mil, it's painting on a canvas. We all have something we enjoy. ~ Why Not ~
ReplyDelete~Thank you for allowing me to use the picture you took ~
ReplyDeleteso..Mona Lisa is shining her glory in your blog..
ReplyDelete:)
Thank you to you! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a four cd NCK set.
ReplyDeleteLove it, especially on a snowy winter's night.
