Bullet the Blue Sky
February 3

Pegram, TN

For the "Four Color February" and
"February Heart Songs" challenges.

Bullet The Blue Sky (U2 - Rattle and Hum)

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain
from the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue

This guy comes up to me
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colors of a royal flush
And he’s peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping them down
One hundred, two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts where the children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
Take the staircase to the first floor
Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
As a man breathes into a saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside it’s America
Outside it’s America

Across the field you see the sky ripped open
See the rain come through the gaping wound
Pounding on the women and children who run into the arms of America

Great shot and music.

The diagonal demands and focusses attention.It moves to an unknown beyond. Mystery.Intrigue.An excellent photographic work to stimulate the imagination.It seems inadequate to just give it my vote. V

A great, strong and confident composition Scott - lovely lighting on the trees, a wonderful slash across the frame by the contrail, and delicate winter colours...V
Nancy Good03-Feb-2009 21:25
Wow ... the contrail really makes me think of a bullet streaking by. Beautifully blue image paired with remarkably blue lyrics.
