Hey guys, I need your help! :eager:

I'm doing a project where I am trying to match pieces of music to various famous paintings. (I avoided the Mona Lisa).

The painting's I'm doing are:

The Scream - Edvard Munch: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
Starry Night - Vincent Van Gogh: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
Bal du Moulin de la Galette - Pierre-Auguste Renoir: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
Persistence of Memory - Salvador Dali: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…

I'm sure you've seen some of these paintings somewhere before.

For The Scream, I was thinking Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pls_lu…. Both the painting and the song give me a slight circus/carnival feel. And there's some crazy laughter in the background of the song that works pretty well with the crazy expression of the figure in the Scream. What do you think?

And for Bal du Moulin de la Galette, I was thinking of going with Moondance by Van Morrison: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lFxGB…, but I'm not sure about that one. I think the music needs to have a more soft, Parisian feel.

I'm still stuck on Starry Night and Persistence of Memory.

So do you guys have any ideas? I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions :XD:

Love you all,
Jake

Moonlight serenade for Starry Night [link], I just thought the swirls and blue of the piece went well with this jazz piece. And oh god, that Dali... something obscure like Muse hits me or 30 seconds to mars for something a bit more aggressive and devastating, but I don't believe that any song could embody this piece :XD:
