Why do i love this picture so much

[@ShanntahnPininchula]

Yes, it's a tell-tale like piece of randomness yet endearment of Americana or something. A picture like this one invokes many thoughts and reflections.

[@Caligula138]

Is there someone in the upper window?

She’ll come back I know Cause our love is more real (More real) I tripped or fell down, but I found myself In a patch of new grass And my face couldn’t see Cause I fall on green and I laid on my back I could see the sky, and my face couldn’t see Cause I fall on green and I laid on my back I could see the sky He could see, I can see the sky If my love was here, she could testify She could feel it, too Tell me if it’s true: if this is more real Than life itself I tripped or fell down, but I found myself In a patch of new grass I wonder if there’s time (I wonder if there’s time) If I go find her, she didn’t go for long She’ll come back, I know, I wonder if there’s time If I go find her, she didn’t go for long She’ll come back, I know, I wonder if there’s time If I go find her, she didn’t go for long She’ll come back She’ll come back, I know If my love was here, she could testify She could feel it, too Tell me if it’s true: if this is more real Than life itself She’ll come back I know Cause our love is more real More real than life itself I tripped and fell down [Unintelligible] She’ll come back I know Cause our love is more real Cause our love is more real than life itself Than life itself

i always heard "cause of all the green"

[@deadheaders86]

Tripped and fell down* 'Cause of all the green* Go fuck yourself in a picture, fuck yourself in a photograph* So he is studying a series of pictures, reminiscing about running around a lawn and tripping in a patch of new green grass, and as he turns over he sees a bright blue sky. (These two colors dominate the album cover. ) She gets down on his ground level, and they see the sky together. He posits that he loved her, and that if she were with him nownshe would confirm their love is more real than life itself. As he shuffles through the pictures he sees an edgy candid shot of her flipping him off, and remembers how ultimately estranged he is from her, and how it ended, because she is not there.

[@ClueSign]

Contemporaries -- a long time ago you could see them both on the same weekend.

[@ufohead1]

totally Feelies or Talking Heads or Modern Lovers

[@JacqueBruce0]

@ufohead1 Makes sense you’d think of Modern Lovers as their bassist Ernie Brooks is in this band
