Songs about photographs

[Sarah Horsfall]

I'm just listening to a favourite album - Hand Made by Robots, by Newton Faulker - and one track has a great line in it:

'Don't take my photograph, 'cause I don't wanna know how it looks to feel like this'.

Here's a video for the song on youtube , made by a Year 12 student, which includes some nice B&W 'street' filming.

What songs do you like that mention photographs?

[Shades of Grey]

@sarahhorsfall I am going to have to go back and listen to some serious music. I can't remember of any off of the top of my head. But this is a very interesting thread, and it has got me thinking.

[Annie Charalambous]

Why, Def Leppard, of course!

Photograph

[chris chambers]

Tom Waits, Picture in a Frame comes to mind, usually best played in an old blues house while partaking pleasures of adult beverages and feeling all depressed. If I am in an upbeat mood, the Paul Simon song of course.

[Lisabell]

Picture by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow is one of my favorites.

[Violet]

"Picture book" by the Kinks :)

[payyourrates]

Kevin Carter - Manic Street Preechers. More about the photographer himself but a great song none the less.

[Kylie Martin]

nickelback - photograph

[Kylie Martin]

also wasnt there an old group in the 70's called photograph or something

[Sarah Horsfall]

Just thought of another one - Photograph of You, Flock of Seagulls!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

An old music hall song entitled Two Little Girls In Blue. It starts :
"An old man gazed on a photograph in a locket he'd worn for years....."

[Terry D]

@webfoot Love that one by Croce

From my favorite singer/songwriter Brandi Carlile:
Turpentine:
I watch you grow away from me in photographs, and memories like spies,
The salt betrays my eyes again,
I've started losing sleep and gaining weight, and wishing I was ten again
And I could be your friend again...

[Kylie Martin]

theres a wet wet wet album called 'picture this' i think

[Teri Moore]

Kodachrome by Paul Simon! I also like Picture Book by the Kinks.

[Josh Sudweeks]

Kodak Moment by The Grabbers.

"Every picture tells a story." ~ Rod Stewart and I think someone else sang it too.
