about

The inklings of the song came to Clayton while he was sitting in his tiny NYC apartment, reading a news article about the growing socio-political divide, unsure of his own future, money worries, his first child on the way, and his father dying of cancer.

“My gaze was drawn into this photograph on the kitchen wall of my dad and me in Mexico standing barefoot in the shallows of an estuary. Our arms around each other, the setting sun gently shining in our eyes and we are smiling.”

lyrics

I read but don't understand
What's going on and the shift in the sand
Don't think I've been here before
Maybe it's a game and I chose the wrong door

But in a photograph
Drifting along the sea
In a photograph
Hope never leaving me
But in a photograph
If I could crawl inside
It's in the photograph
Setting my dreams alight

Put on the airs for a day
But it's the shoes that give me away
Can I still be a man
While needing someone to hold my hand?

But in a photograph
Drifting along the sea
In a photograph
Hope never leaving me
But in a photograph
If I could crawl inside
It's in the photograph
Setting my dreams alight
