David Gray and his band performs a liver concert in Brussels in front of a large audience. The band includes musicians playing keyboards, guitars, bass, and drums, with a backdrop of stage lighting and a screen. The picture displays a contrast between the darkness of the room, with visible heads of people in the audience and the brightness of the stage. It was a fabulous concert!
🎶He's underneath the window
She's singing, "Hey la, my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway, what ya gonna do about it?"🎶

Says something like you and me babe how about it?"

Are a home now for me
But my home is in lowlands
And always will be . . . 🎸👌😎💪✊

And Enchanté, what can I say?
Don't care at all

A black and white pic looking down a narrow, wet cobblestone alleyway between tall brick buildings. A distinctive glass-enclosed pedestrian bridge spans across the alley at the upper-story level. Ornate vintage-style street lamps are mounted on the building walls, and a bicycle is parked on the right side. The perspective leads the eye toward the end of the alley where a figure can be seen in the distance.
'And it's your face I'm looking for on every street'

'On Every Street'
Black-and-white picture of old train tracks, the electric poles and wires and a train station platform on the left hand-side. A person is walking in the distance, at the of the platform, toward the bridge over the rails. The weather is overcast and foggy.
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the telegraph road
Telegraph Road

Skyline of a medium-sized town after a rainy day. A cumulus cloud is blocking the sun, but the crepuscular rays are all over the place.
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
Dire Straits: Why Worry
This song is my wife's favourite.

Two people walking toward the right hand side of the image, on a pebble beach. There is a snow-covered mountain in the background. The sky is dark. It is a black-and-white picture.

Will #youandyourfriend come around?
Are you and your friend gonna get on down?
If you talk to one another
I'm a hungry man
Let me know one way or the other
So I can make my plans

A black and white street photograph of two people walking away from the camera on a cobbled street, with one person's arm around the other's shoulder. They are walking past a light-colored building with a door numbered 76 and large windows.

Or are you and your friend gonna get on down?'

Two people in a park making massive soap bubbles. They both have their arms over their heads as they each hold the apparatus for making these large bubbles. Beyond the trees lining the park are skyscrapers.
You and your friend.

Two people walk along a wide, empty beach at low tide, with the ocean and distant mountains visible under a cloudy, moody sky. The sand is marked with ripples and scattered with small shells. The scene conveys a sense of tranquility and solitude.

A wide-angle, high-angle shot from a grassy park area in The Hague, showing thousands of protesters dressed in red gathered along a canal. The crowd forms a long "red line" stretching across the midground, with people also seated on the grass in the foreground. In the background, prominent modern skyscrapers of the city's skyline rise behind a dense line of green trees. A person in a black hoodie is seen in the lower left foreground, looking towards the demonstration under the shade of leafy tree branches framing the top of the image. Context This photo captures the "Red Line" (Rode Lijn) protest held on May 18, 2025. Approximately 100,000 to 150,000 people gathered in The Hague to protest the war in Gaza and demand that the Dutch government take a stronger stance against the violence. Participants wore red to symbolize a "red line" that they believed had been crossed regarding human rights and international law.
'And after all the violence and double talk
There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, yeah, you do the walk of life'
