Photographs definitely ended up being one of our favorite tunes so far.  It was one of those songs that was a lot of fun to work on and the back and forth process while creating it was very fluid.  Take a listen to the commentary if you were curious about our process for “Photographs.”

We went crazy with this song. What started as this (click to listen to the song sketch) became what Tim and I have jokingly referred to as “epic.” I know this is quite a word for two Midwesterners. But hey, there is a REAL CELLO in this thing! And “epic” is relative right? (actually by it’s very definition it is not relative…. Hmmm.)
Our friend Meghan Zeikle was kind enough to throw down some sweet cello action which took this song to the next level. Thank you Meghan!!!

Tim and I have a friend who’s husband left her and their kids after many years of marriage. This song is a reflection on what that experience might have been like for her.

“Photographs”

lyrics by Patrick Largen and Tim Seley

Peace is the hardest thing to find
Search the cracks and corners of your mind
You won’t be satisfied

Search the photographs that are in your mind
For a thousand feelings to describe
The me you’ll leave behind – it’s me you’ll leave behind

Is it all you ever hoped
Leaving me in search of god only knows
On the side of the road

Need to throw those photographs away
I know you will regret this someday
Need to get some photos to replace them

Take your bags and run far away
As much as I want you to stay
Need to get some photos to replace them

Is that all I am in your mind’s eye
Jaded and faded and melting away with time
I won’t get a reply
