There were two versions of this song. The original was recorded with just Todd and I in my home studio. The second was recorded about 8 months later in a 16 track studio and included Martha on violin.
I think we were in the right direction with the original so this third (final) version is based on that.
lyrics
The blinking of bright light
Your life flash in front of your eyes
The taking of photos
Her soul is trapped in paper
Beliefs that now are true
The saving of photos
The saving of photos
She once was a person
A mind like you and I
She’s now an idea
Caught in the public’s eye
Oh why
Her soul is trapped in paper
Beliefs that now are true
The saving of photos
The saving of photos
The photo eternal
It's flat the future gone
The moments dead
The moments dead
The moments dead
The moments dead
