Can You Guess the Songs that These Pictures Go To?

This is an idea I saw on a library website and tried myself a few weeks ago. Basically, the point is to graphically portray a song. Some of them are obviously better than others, my favorite being the one just to the left (above). Can you guess the song which goes to each of the three pictures? They're all reasonably popular, and have played on the radio in the last few months...

The Guerrilla of the Imagination

I recently came across a quote from Nadine Gordimer on my other blog (theblithebbc). It was rather deep and said something along the lines of writing not being a pure product of the writer's creativity, so much as his/her drive for popularity and readership. I was intrigued, and, in the spirit of the 21st century, Wiki-searched her. Here are a few facts I cyber-unearthed about this fascinating woman:

She was the first South African, and the seventh woman , to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
She has written thirteen novels, over two hundred short stories, a few screenplays, and several volumes of essays.

In a time when her contemporaries were flocking to leave South Africa, this white woman remained to be a voice for the stifled Black writers.

Although she wrote as if censorship did not exist, quite a bit of her work was banned in her native country.

I also found a few fascinating quotes:

"A desert is a place without expectation."
"Power is something of which I am convinced there is no innocence this
side of the womb."
"Responsibility is what awaits outside the Eden of Creativity."
"The truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is."
"Writing is making sense of life. You work your whole life and perhaps
you've made sense of one small area."

The Constant State of Change...

...by which I mean the constant state of doing nothing on my blog is about to change from the constant state of constant ramblings on inane pop culture subjects to the constant state of constant ramblings on inane subjects connected only by their importance and bearings on my personal life.
Got that?
Basically, I want to change things up. My life is a lot more dimensional now, so I'd like my blog to be the same. Yes, I'll still treat you (and by you I mean me, my only constant reader, LOL) to annoying rants, but I'd like to think that there will be some deeper meaning in there somewhere. And I'll talk vaguely about my life, and the various shades of dangerously exciting/deathly boring it ranges across. (Oh dear, I do believe I just ended that sentence with a preposition...see how exciting I am?!)
'Cause I'm a lot more mature, a little more interesting, and (here's the main thing) slightly lonely.
See ya' round
