Into the Forest pt.3: The Proud Oak

Most people would agree that some images say more than a thousand words. And this is true when you look at this astonishing picture! Unless you are a poet or writer I don’t think you can do justice to its strength and elegance with mere words. Not me at least, so – in line with the previous Into the Forest post about a forest girl – I have put together a small list of songs with my interpretation of this very proud oak.
Also make sure to check out the website of William Scott linked above. His portfolio is packed with some of the most extraordinary pictures I have seen in quite a while. Practically every picture deserves its own play list.

aww always coincidents–i also chose esmerine in one playlist a few days ago, and it was same song! only that i changed the subject though.
Erik Friedlander sounds great. i’m thinking a lot about cello these days :)
Beautiful photograph and playlist. Very grateful to you for sharing these. Lovely blog. been here listening for one hour now.
i totally agree, the picture is amazing, and the selection too. like i said before, i’m so so grateful for In your soul from Sabir Mateen/Daniel Carter/Andrew Barker…nice list :)
Thanks a bunch everyone. :)
Ana: I’m glad I was able to do something in return, although I can’t read a single word in Spanish I’ve had plenty of eye openers on your blog ever since I came accros it. Keep it up.
same to your amazing lists bubbachups. keep it up :)
i love the last qbico’s too, specially a band named Pengo
besos
Great pic, great list. Your breadth of musical knowledge makes me envious. Particularly happy to see you include a song by the great under appreciated Austin singer/songwriter, Jon Dee Graham.
What a fantastic photo! Thanks for the great art and music here. You’re one of my favorite music sites and you have the most interesting stuff here. I like your new site too.
