I've been trying to establish a reoccurring theme between the three gold, diamond, plat records I'm basing my designs on. The album's and artists I've chosen are: Pink Floyd's Darkside of the Moon, Adele's 21 and Madonna's (album called Music 2000). I've been listening to the songs and wrote out all the track names on each album on a big bit of paper so that I can see a overview of all of them.
I've come up with several ideas for what the reoccurring theme could be. I'm going to list below the re-occurring themes and then how the 3 connect to each other as a whole. At the end I'm going to say which one I've decided to use.
- Pink Floyds "On the Run", Adele's "He won't go", 3. Madonna's "Runaway Lover". All three albums deal with love and heartbreak on some level. One is about leaving someone, refusing to leave (thus holding on) and being left by someone. I think this is the strongest idea of the 3. I think love is a good theme because its a universal thing that people experience.
- Pink Floyds "Speak to me", Adele's "Rumour has it" and Madonna's "Don't tell me" This deals with perhaps the dysfunctional end of relationships. These titles suggest mistrust, suspicion or betrayal of someone.
- Pink Floyds "Money", Adele's "Love Song", Madonna's "Paradise not for me" I come up with this one because theres a saying that goes something like "You can't buy love/happiness with money". Each song represents varying levels of attachment to either fame, money or love.
Chosen theme
The 3rd one, because music these 3 things is what musicians have to commonly deal with throughout their careers. This is going to serve as content that can go inside the plaque box below the vinyl.
