“In a world of last teardrop
In a world of last teardrop
You know it sounds so good
Sounds so good
“Well, you know it sounds so good
You hope it never stops
Never, never, never stops
Never, never, never, never, stops
“If you hear sounds of bitter weeping
To be sure the God of Light is sleeping
No time for mirth
Much death and birth
“Pain shakes the earth
You hope it never stops
Never, never stops
Never, never, never, never stops…”

Baby night lyrics (c)ourtesy Sweet smoke… 1970. (I still have the LP.)
Equinoxio 
I’d never heard of this album before, so I checked it out on YouTube. Very 1970.
Totally 70’s. I also have In-a-gadda-da-vida… 🤣
(Need to check the song again, not sure I remember the tune)
I heard that song by Iron Butterfly so many times it’s permanently burned into my brain. (I won’t attempt to spell it.)
I’m sure it is burned into many brains…
I’m sure you’re right!
Hmmm, si je voyais cette fresque, je l’interprèterais comme les effets néfastes du tabac, mdr
Haha. Oui. Probablement. Mais c’est plus la fascination des mexicains pour la mort, plus un joint au passage.
THAT is absolutely gorgeous artwork. Incredible. Wonderful post.
Thank you Gigi. You’re always too kind.
Very well done – especially the repetition
Thank you Derrick.
Love the artwork again!
Also looked up the song as never heard of Sweet Smoke. Thanks for the enlightenment and share.
That was a catch as catch can. Stopped at a red light on our way to the 4th shot. No time to step down. Just fire away.
Sweet smoke was way before your time. An ephimerous, typical band of the early 70’s. Lots of experimenting then.
Ha, ha, love the way you say “way before your time”…you have no idea or being too kind. 😉
Regardless, you don’t have to be actually living in a decade to love/follow the music. 🙂
LOL. never ask a Lady her age, but I suspect you are a tad younger than I am.
True. I am surprised how much my daughters generation knows “oldies but goldies”. Case of Sweet smoke, they were really a confidential group, not like others who have thrived and lasted. Think Crosby, Stills, Nash and young in their various guises. Or Clapton.
That is some street art. I don’t know the song, but it worked here. 🙂
Song goes back 50+ years. Glad it worked.
Drat! Now I’ll have innagadadavida stuck in by brain all day!!! Beautiful art – especially loved the second piece.
LOL. Sorry about that. In French we call that a “saw”, une scie. A tune you can’t get out of your head. In that case it should ear out after a few weeks. 😉
Second piece? lemme see. I fired at least a dozen as my wife moved away. Then picked up and cropped a “progression”.
Yeah. The second piece is good. Centers on the skull mask, letting the other characters visible. Keen eye.
Street art is interesting, creative and unrestricted and I could never get enough of it. Thanks for sharing and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx
Unrestricted is THE word. The wall, the environment, the subject, the execution… unrestricted. All well Aiva?
have a nice week-end. 🌹
All is well ☺️
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
the lyrics paired so well with the street art
Thank you. I’d thought of “Alabama song”, but it didn’t quite work… 🙏🏻
Hahahaha
😂
Also, just wanted to let you know that Mabel Kwong’s Interview is published – – 🙂

no hurry – but looking forward to having you check it out
Hopping right there. Taking advantage of Sunday…
Hi Brian, An enticing slow reveal of the final full shot of the artwork. Don’t know Baby Night but certainly Iron Butterfly. 🦋🎶 Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Thank you Jane, that was a classical “don’t take pictures from a car, less so from a moving car”, but when there is no option… 😉 break the rules…
Iron butterfly marked many of us, right?
Take care. (Happy Mother’s Day)
Une belle découverte !
Merci Brieuc
C’est là que je voudrais descendre 5. minutes, mais le quartier n’était pas terrible… 😉
