My choice of songs for day three of the Netherlands Top 2000 is "Marrakesh Express" - a classic tune by Crosby Stills & Nash, which comes in this year at #1511. CSN's harmonies are some of the most beautiful I've ever heard, and I love the happy energy of this song! Here's how my layout turned out:
For this one I was inspired by a photo I saw of a Marrakesh sunset, so I painted the background with watercolors to represent the sunset. I drew the border with markers to represent the pattern from one of the rugs (kilim) they sell in the square there.
I know it's by Crosby Stills and Nash and I only have Nash & Crosby on the layout; but that's because whenever I hear this song I think of this classic video - my favorite rendition of the tune! Check it out...
And here's a video of the magic of Marrakesh, it makes the lyrics come to life when you see it, I think...
