The Photo Album - We Are Nowhere and It’s Now
The Photo Album - Track 8/20: Bright Eyes - “We Are Nowhere and It’s Now”
This is one of the tracks that I was having a lot of trouble with. I wasn’t sure what to do with it and I was on the verge of just taking a random sparse landscape which would of been a shame, as I’m not really into that.
I had a week off work and was visiting by the seaside. While I was there I wasn’t sleeping, and when I did I was having horrible dreams that were too vivid when I woke up, and too horrible to talk about.
Anyway, the lack of sleep and the miserable weather left me sitting indoors with headphones and a guitar. I sat playing this song on my guitar and suddenly inspiration hit.
“and all day it seems that we’re inbetween a past and a future town”
“i’ve been sleeping so strange at night, side affects they don’t advertise”
Whatever has been going on with me lately, I don’t feel the same way about where I used to live. When I’m there I’ve a longing to leave, and it’s only really family that keeps me going back. So the idea of an image that ties in with the past few days and the feeling of escaping led to me recruiting my sister to venture to a freezing beach to battle cold winds, sweeping sand, and no shoes (I owe you big time m’n’m).
I like this one. Hope you do to.
Until next time…
