Indirect reference to painting/paint …

“Black turns to gray in the sun / It always fades away, the colors bleed and they run.”

Billy Ocean - "Color of Love"

"If I had to paint a picture
To show the world how true love can really be
I would use the brightest colours
To create a vision of harmony

"As a picture perfect painting
Of a love forever true"

"She's the sunset's shadows, she's like Rembrandt's light"

Was she willing when she sat
And posed the pretty photograph?
Save her flowering and fair
The days to come, the days to share

The Rolling Stones, You Can't Always Get What You Want

She was practiced at the art of deception
Well, I could tell by her blood-stained hands,

 

[Cupped]

Counting Crows, Mr. Jones

Well, I'm gonna paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
Yeah, well, you know grey is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a grey guitar and play

I met you in a cave, you were painting buffalo

Underrated pop song from the late-1980s.

Al Stewart, Year of the Cat


She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came

In the year of the cat

Paint a picture of the days gone by
Write a letter with true love in every last line
Tie a little thread between your dreams and mine

ZZ Top, Got Me Under Pressure


She likes the art museum
She don't like Pavlov's dog
She fun at the mind museum
She likes it in a London fog

“National Arts & Humanities Month” is coming in October.

For this segment, we explore songs with titles, lyrics or themes connected with art, painting and well-known artists/works of art.

“Does not apply” caveat: (1) Photography (acceptable if it overlaps with main premise) ... (2) “artist” in context of "music artist."

“On That Note” is presented weekly on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

• Last week’s OTN: Why Do We Never Get an answer?

My first selection, connecting w/ thread title.

“Well she’s kind of like an artist.”

If I took 10 songs to the desert island, that one’s coming with

Yes, today skies were painted colors of a cowboy cliche
And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
Are next to mountains anyway

 

[VeloClone]

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
