Music to make pictures by…

John Watson // April 23rd, 2006

I listen to music a lot. And it seems like lately I’ve come across a fair number of songs that have something to do with cameras. Just for fun, here’s a sampling, some classics, some questionable, and some newer ones, too.

  • Kodachrome by Paul Simon
  • I Turn My Camera On by Spoon
  • F-Stop Blues by Jack Johnson
  • Photograph by Natalie Merchant
  • Photograph by Ringo Starr
  • The Harsh Truth of the Camera by Morrissey
  • A Photograph of You by Depeche Mode
  • Pictures of You by Oingo Boingo
  • Photograph by Ella Fitzgerald
  • Photograph by Camper Van Beethoven

    I suppose I don’t need to mention that “Photograph” by Camper Van Beethoven is a cover of “Photograph” by Ringo. I’d submit “Picturebook” by the Kinks, and “Photobooth” by Death Cab for Cutie.

    “People Take Pictures Of Each Other” by the Kinks.
    A superb song if ever there was one!

    People take pictures of the Summer,
    Just in case someone thought they had missed it,
    And to prove that it really existed.

    Fathers take pictures of their mothers,
    And sisters take pictures of brothers,
    Just to show that they love one another.

    :o)
