Time to pretend
Music will often find a photo. Some how a refrain will pick and image and carry it and there they will be for a while, in my mind. It’s like the song was waiting for the photo. Why is that? I don’t know, but surely musician would call security if you ever said out loud “you wrote this song for my photo”. Childish, just a little bit, or perhaps a lot. Photography lends to a certain immature belief in ownership of the moment. Shoot, you barley own the image itself, much less the self centric idea that the photo is entitled to a song.
“Drinking in the lounge
Following the neon signs
Waiting for a word
Looking at the milky skyline
The city is my church
It wraps me in its blinding twilight”
Someone on a podcast said they never listen to music when shooting, but listen often while editing, and songs find them. Like, an empty bench waiting for a person.
