cold irish rain
Okay - so it's not really cold... It's not even Irish... But it IS rain.. And most of the picture got cut off somehow in the translation.. And no - you're not crazy - it IS moving just a tiny bit as it plays...
I'm just toying with a way to add music to my photos without having to click away to some other site, and relying on whatever version someone else has made available - if any.. When I add a piece of music to the description, I want the viewer to view the photo and listen to the music at the same time. They are meant to enhance one another, in the way a good diptych plays one photo off against another, and together they create something more than the sum of their parts... Not that this is a particularly good diptych - I'm just sayin'... That's the intent..
Besides, it's a way for me to share music that I bought and paid for, and believe I have every right to use or abuse in any way I see fit. Bought before the music police decided that they own the music - you are only purchasing the right to listen to it in the manner that they agree to, and only until such time as they see fit to take it away from you...
I was raised in the day when you bought music - that is, you were free to do whatever you wanted to do with YOUR copy of the music - listen to it - not listen to it - smash it into smithereens with a claw hammer - leave it in the car and watch it curl up in the heat - copy it to tape, give it to a friend - sing along with it, or bury it in the back yard... It was yours... You owned it.. And the artist was happy with his money, and went out and made more music if he wanted more money..
By the Way - This is Alannah Myles - one of the most under-rated and under-played artists of her day. She's not very active these days - probably put off by the music police and the politics of the game.. The song is called "Cold Irish Rain"...
