Big Picture - "Just Passin' By" - FULL ALBUM

This is the full album by Canadian 90's group, Big Picture from Halifax, Nova Scotia. It features the title track that was discovered by the LostWave Community. The song was called " The World Was So Easy " while it existed online only as a 3 second clip that was accidentally recorded on a home video by Ethan MacIntyre. The search ended on Feb 20th 2024 after Chris Murphy (Sloan) from Halifax correctly identified me( Asif Illyas). Thanks to the LostWave Community for helping to bring lost music to the light again! Without y0u, these songs would have remained buried... A special thank you to Lee Rosevere for providing the digital versions of the songs.

Thank you ❤

The craziness of the album the unknown song was on having a track called Don't You Forget About Me followed by Nobody Loves Me It's like the album knew it was going to fade into total obscurity but now it's been rediscovered and won't be forgotten and everyone loves it

[@TheBossMan5000]

KICK ASS! Incredible sound, right up there with Blind Melon, and Rusted Root. Absolutely can't believe you guys ever went forgotten. This album is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@ZyxthePest]

I get some early Rembrandts vibes as well. Lots of songs on this remind me of Rollin' Down The Hill.

[@BoredAssCat]

Walking To Nowhere has got to be my favorite. This band has got to be one of the most slept-on (underrated) bands ever, I love this

[@RhombusEnterprise]

that opening verse is literally fire coming out of my monitors.

[@jennydeaf9O9]

"the drummer left ya for another band. they made a big mistaaake!" ...love that line.

Good shit, hope this hits spotify

[@jackdoesreviews2600]

its on apple music, like anybody uses that

[@amazingcoolboy212]

It's on Spotify now! Was actually uploaded to Spotify the day you made this comment!

[@postumo_slowcore_beats]

"Someone to watch over you" Sounds so fkn good, so melancholy definitely my favorite.

[@Xgennn57]

Exactly, what a beautiful song

[@jennydeaf9O9]

the chorus is an inversion of a george gershwin song of the same name, btw!

[@lostwavefinder587]

Such a nice feel-good album. Thank you so much Asif for sharing, you've gained another new fan

[@asifshakingthetree]

You are MOST welcome!

[@kalesea2998]

thank you for posting the whole album! it’s a real gem, wish we could have discovered it sooner. i found another one of your guys’ songs on here called “Under The Birdbath,” it’s one of my favorites of what i’ve heard so far. i was wondering if you happened to have a clearer version of the song?

[@asifshakingthetree]

Thank you so much! …sorry it took so long to respond. I am away but will upload the song here for you! Thanks so much for listening!

[@sethjakobparilla6347]

[@thenicklawrence]

These records coming to light again made my year.

[@jennydeaf9O9]

i wept violently having seen this tune was found. and again when i found out i couldn't get a copy ANYWHERE at all. but, here it is. my heart, i can't feel my face. such increible joy, this awesome music. thank you so so much, op and all involved. i'll leave it here.

[@taylorpagani9515]

So good. Love this album is getting some new life breathed into it

[@user-yr8mu1ce1m]

Holy shit, the album version is even better than the video version. The World Was So Easy was a gigantic rabbit hole. From its mysterious origins, to having found it, to finding the video, to finding the album, to finding the video version was an alternate version to finding they had a second album. It was one surprise after another, but I’m glad this case got solved. Ever since December 2023, we’ve been in the golden age of lostwave. Fond My Mind, Kenya Song, Dance For Hours A Day, Above The Clouds, and now The World Was So Easy, just to name a few. Edit: Just found out Above The Clouds was a hoax.

[@jacko4451]

Track 2 is definitely my favorite. Great work!

Can you upload the stems? Maybe for clone hero or just for fun. ❤

[@jennydeaf9O9]

haha i anticipate the stems were not saved. this was '94, my dude.

[@briwu]

@@jennydeaf9O9 yeah, but it doesn’t matter if it was 1994. Many bands kept their stems for future mixing.
