<p>Not all music dedicated to photography works out that well (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P7-Kk0Sc3o">link</a> )</p>

<p>Where are the Canadians on this forum? I'm an Aussie ( large island between the Pacific and Indian Oceans ) and I suggest "The Camera Eye" by Canada's finest - Rush. Also "Take a Pebble" by ELP, which has the line "Photographs are grey and torn..." and an album by Italian group Premiata Forneria Marconi called "Photos of Ghosts".</p>

<p>Thanks for a fun thread, Josh!</p>

<p>One of my old favorites is <em>I'm Not in Love</em>, by 10cc:</p>

<p>-----</p>

<p>I keep your picture upon the wall<br />It hides a nasty stain that's lyin' there<br />So don't you ask me to give it back<br />I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me</p>

<p>"I Turn My Camera On" by Spoon.</p>

[patrick j dempsey]

<p>No Stone Temple Pilots fans? Several photographic references in this one...</p>

<p>

<p>Big Bang Baby</p>

<p>I got a picture of a photograph<br>

Of a wedding and a shell<br>

It's just a burning aching memory<br>

I never kiss and tell</p>

<p>So turn it up and burn it<br>

There's a hole in your head<br>

There's a hole in your head<br>

Where the bird's can't sing along</p>

<p>Does anybody know how the story really goes<br>

How the story really goes<br>

Or do we all just hum along?<br>

Sell your soul and sign an autograph<br>

Big Bang Baby, it's a crash crash crash<br>

I wanna die but I gotta laugh<br>

Orange crush mama is a laugh laugh laugh</p>

<p>Spin me up, spin me spin me out<br>

Station to station send me up and out<br>

Is that what life and love is all about<br>

I think I think so</p>

<p>We used to see in color<br>

Now it's only black and white<br>

Yeah, it's only black and white<br>

Cause the world is color blind</p>

<p>Does anybody know how the story really goes<br>

How the story really goes<br>

Or do we all just hum along?<br>

Sell your soul and sign an autograph<br>

Big Bang Baby, it's a crash crash crash<br>

I wanna die but I gotta laugh<br>

Orange crush mama is a laugh laugh laugh</p>

<p>Nothing's for free, nothing's for free<br>

Take it away boys<br>

Nothing's for free, nothing's for free<br>

Take it away boys</p>

<p>So turn it up and burn it<br>

There's a hole in your head<br>

There's a hole in your head<br>

Where the bird's can't sing along</p>

<p>Does anybody know how the story really goes<br>

How the story really goes<br>

Or do we all just hum along?<br>

Sell your soul and sign an autograph<br>

Big Bang Baby, it's a crash crash crash<br>

I wanna die but I gotta laugh<br>

Orange crush mama is a laugh laugh laugh</p>

<p>Nothing's for free, nothing's for free<br>

Take it away boys<br>

Nothing's for free, nothing's for free<br>

Take it away boys</p>

<p>So turn it up and burn it<br>

There's a hole in your head<br>

A hole in your head<br>

Where the bird's can't sing along<br>

Does anybody know how the story really goes<br>

The story really goes<br>

Or do we all just hum along?</p>

<p>This one really sums up what our craft is about:</p>

<p>"Bookends" - Paul Simon<br>

"Time it was and what a time it was, it was...<br /> A time of innocence a time of confidences.<br /> <br /> Long ago it must be, I have a photograph<br /> Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you"</p>

<p>"Pictures of Home" by Deep Purple</p>

[drjoe2009]

<p>"These Photographs" by Joshua Radin</p>

[gertle]

<p>"Send me photographs and souvenirs" from "You Belong to Me" (see wikipedia for a list of eveyone who's done it.) sing along with this one in the car.<br>

"Take a pebble".... listening to it now, thanks for the reminder.<br>

"Photogragh" from Def Leppard...skip the video, plug in the disc and crank it. </p>

<p><strong>J Giles Band - 'Angel is a Centrefold'</strong></p>

<p>My blood runs cold <br />My memory has just been sold <br />My angel is the centerfold <br />Angel is the centerfold</p>

[d_f11]

<p>The Kinks - "People Taking Pictures"</p>

[ernest-b]

<p>Nick Jeftic already mentioned it, but here's another vote for "Bookends" as coming close to the essence of it all.</p>

<h4>Nickelback - "Photograph"</h4>

<p>Look at this photograph<br /> Everytime I do it makes me laugh<br /> How did our eyes get so red<br /> And what the hell is on Joey's head<br /> <br /> And this is where I grew up<br /> I think the present owner fixed it up<br /> I never knew we'd ever went without<br /> The second floor is hard for sneaking out<br /> <br /> And this is where I went to school<br /> Most of the time had better things to do<br /> Criminal record says I broke in twice<br /> I must have done it half a dozen times<br /> <br>

...<br /> <br /> Every memory of looking out the back door<br /> I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor<br /> It's hard to say it, time to say it<br /> Goodbye, goodbye... </p>
