Lyrics:
This is a photograph, a window to the past
Of your father on the front lawn, with no shirt on
Ready to take the world on, beneath the West Texas sun
The year that you were born, the year that you are now
His wife behind the camera, his daughter and his baby boy
Got a glimmer in his eye, seems to say, this is what i'll miss after I die
and this is what i'll miss about being alive. My body, my girls, my boy, the sun
Now time's the undefeated, the heavyweight champ
Laughing in his face, as it dance like Sugar Ray
Used to be "c'mon c'mon" but now "no mas, no mas"
And this is a photograph, a window to the past
of your mother in a skirt, in the cool Kentucky dirt
Laughing in the garden (haha!) back where it all started
with a smile on her face, everything in its place
Got a glimmer in her eyes seems to say: this is what I'll miss about being alive
and this is what i'll miss after I die
This is a photograph, a window to the past
of me on a front lawn, ready to take the world on
beneath the Tennessee sun, inside the kingdom
Got a glimmer in my eye, seems to say

Kevin Morby - This Is A Photograph
#KevinMorby #ThisIsAPhotograph
This song has about 8 levels. It just goes up and up. So good
Nothing hits like the first time you hear a song like this.
And yet, it still grows with subsequent listenings.
Had chills trough my spine, deep into to the soul. My hair instantly stood on end of my head.
Saw my parents, at old black& white photo. With me, 2 years old on his shoulder. Her laughing.
This song is what's humanity has its best. Insanely good lyrics & score. An obsession to hear it again and again.
Imagine listening to it live for the first time. Levitation was so f rad.
Right on, sometimes you have to just pull the car over, to avoid traffic accidents. In the old days, there’d be one, I said, I instantly pulled a U-turn on Lake Shore Drive (which is not actually possible), drive to music stairs and bought the CD, because hearing it made me lose me gd mind!
Yeah look, I’ve been saying it since I began to have daily awareness of my own mortality, 30 years ago! I want to make my funeral video NOW, before I have to wear Depends. Since I’d want many photographs of those I have loved in this short life, I thought maybe an 11-minute-‘er, like, In My Timee of Dying by Lad Zepp-never goes out of style-optimistic about Death, “feels pretty good up here!” Etc.
But this song kills. It. No better for my funeral video!
Don’t you want one? Everyone I know wants one (except certain sects of Christianity , Islam, Hindu, Buddhism, and Shinto who are averse to electricity at their events.
Where are the Funerals-R-Us businesses, all you unemployed Film majors?!
It’s a good idea, freely given to you, no patent pending. Sure, I’ll take a free personalized video for my brilliant idea! It’ll be this song, and the six minute, Not, by Big Thief front woman Adrienne Lenker, another goddess of my funeral video. :-)
Quintessential Morby. Wistful and nostalgic without sounding so. Great, great, great
Incredible! This song is blowing me away. Made me cry twice now!
I love how the song just keeps building and building and building til the end. Can't wait for the full album!
A CLASSIC!!!!
Such a powerful song, one of my favourites of this year
Having lost my mom to cancer, with just photos left… this simply ✨hits different✨
What a song for the perplexity and dichotomy that is life. Reminisce on the times that were and what can be. Time charges on. A reminder to live moments you'd miss about being alive.
232 seconds of pure joy and innovative sounds that fill you up with inspiration. What a unique artist!
You have no idea how much I love this song
brings back/Taps into THE FIRE WITHIN US
What a fantastic album, released today and already listened through it twice.
Now this, is what a dedicated songwriter sounds like! An exceptionally great song!
Everything this man does gives me hope for modern music
Good to be onboard with you matey! How'd we get here? Isn't it GREAT!!!!! LOL
I love everything about this song, thank you Kevin Morby for bringing me joy through your music
🙏
I'm telling you, the freaking flood gates have opened to a shit-ton of amazing 🎶 🎵 artists I've never seen or heard of before and I AM the biggest music junkie there is. Their just dropping into my 🌏 Now and I AM here for all of it. So, keep'm coming! 💠💙
woot woot MINDY!!!!!!!!! Yarrrrrrrrrrwoooooooooooooooooo
👌👌👌🔥
Wow what a ray of light and joy! Instant favourite! Thank you, Kevin Morby!
4.a.m in Australia loving this song. Ready to take the world on.
Peace ☮
Love the way you shred this live. Keep rocking!
Reminds me that life is precious.
Absolutely 👏
That was great. It felt like they chased the energy that the band displays during Morby's live performances and brought it to the record. Can't wait for the album!
Excellent! Groove and rythm !all is good!
This is beautiful.
Great music, poetic words, superb images.
Art.
Came here after listening to the Song Exploder episode on this song -- so layered in sound and meaning, and builds up to the end. Wow!
Woooooow. This is amazing. Cannot wait to hear more.
Sundowner was the first morby album I heard and I loved it. Played it on repeat for days, but this…I’m going to wear out entire speaker systems and headphones listening to this
I’ve been wearing out all of em. Also started with Sundowner!
@@JohnKean i HEARD hARLEM rIVER over n over n over n over until I woke up AND then I FELL
Sooooo good! the build up is amazing. It really embodied the energy and feeling behind real moments captured on film, the stories they tell, the ability to transport the viewer back to that point in time. Cant wait for the full album! ❤️✌️
Seen him twice and have a third show coming up. Never miss Kevin Morby.
That second verse is my favorite, of time vs his father… full of Muhammad Ali / Sugar Ray Leonard vibes, the young wanting time to speed up while the old wanting it to slow down and stop beating them up, great poetry
bEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
Absolutely wonderful. Thank you.
Favorite of 2022.
You are an amazing beautiful person and your music is a gift to the world 🌎✨
Love it forever.
Energetic and vibrant aproach in a theme that has everything to be melancolic. Eletric nostalgia, very fresh.
Electric nostalgia, nice term!
Just saw the movie Apollo 10 1/2 with my son and now the same day heard this perfect song and realized how similar lives we lived and live even though on the other side of the world no matter whether with bolshevics or Reagan or Havel, Obama, Trump or whoever but with our parents, toys, dreams, photographs and memories. Thank you, Kevin Morby, best regards from your Czech fan! Come to Prague one more time.
The man, the myth.. the MORBY
Total respect Mr Morby... THANK YOU for making my soul fly 🙏 BRILLIANT
Saw him live yesterday, blew everyones socks off.
Thought he'd be a more reserved kinda guy and Poland wouldn't be a very willing crowd for his kinda music but no, fantastic concert and everyone loved it.
After the show he just casually came to the merch booth and signed autographs, took photos and talked to everyone. Super humble dude.
If you get a chance to go watch him live, go now! Well worth your time.
Très beau ,merci beaucoup Kevin.
Wow! So good. So deep. I'm blown away....
So excited for this!
If you're not already familiar check out Kevin's garage band days with
"Our House On The Hill" by The Babies
Loving this so much
Another masterpiece 😌❤🌻
brilliant song
Great song, love it!!!
Wonderful! It's only Rocknroll! But This Is a Photograph! Thanks Kevin Morby. Loved it immediately.
This will undoubtedly be used in some commercials and television shows to come.
The sign of success or sell out ?
@@BurmaShane Great point. Most of his songs are odes to death. He often throws occult symbolism into his videos too.
Instant classic!
The energy on this ones crazy
Curtis Mayfield meets middle America
@@scottrieger3786 YES SO 60'S VIBRATIONS DELICIOUS
I remembered my childhood. I sent a photo of my children to my grandmother. Thank you!
Tout simplent sublime. J'avoue que si Mc Do ne l'avait pas pris pour sa pub, je ne l'aurais jamais découvert mais bon, j'aime beaucoup cette chanson alors merci!!!
I feel dumbfounded by how beautifully the Tutsti’s sing, and my newly discovered artist through the apple music a rhythm. Go! Yes! So good ty Kevin . Keep it up!
Whoa! So good. Excited for the album.
The ending was propelling. 🔥
He have no business goin this hard. Just breathtaking. 😳😳
No idea who this guy is but this is an absolutely fantastic song.
Something about it is hypnotic and deeply moving. I can hear an almost West African influence in those guitar licks as well which is just magnificent when it’s set alongside those scenes of rural America. Great work
Well done Kevin Morby!
