this one isn't based on Blake's works but I didn't want to start a new thread for it...
Paul Weller's superb piano ballad "wings of speed" from his brilliant "Stanley road" album from 1995 was based on
a painting by John Waterhouse, Weller says he spent hours looking at the painting in London's Tate Gallery in the early
1990s and was trying to figure out what the lady in the painting was thinking, where she was going, and where she'd
come from and he wrote the song giving his impression of it...
here's the painting:
