The Last Goodnight - Pictures Of You Lyrics

This is the clock upon the wall
This is the story of us all
This is the first sound of a newborn child,
Before he starts to crawl
This is the war that’s never won
This is a soldier and his gun
This is the mother waiting by the phone,
Praying for her son

[Chorus]
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be

There is a drug that cures it all
Blocked by the governmental wall
We are the scientists inside the lab,
Just waiting for the call
This earthquake weather has got me shaking inside
I’m high up and dry

[Chorus]

Confess to me, every secret moment
Every stolen promise you believed
Confess to me, all that lies between us
All that lies between you and me

We are the boxers in the ring
We are the bells that never sing
There is a title we can’t win no matter
How hard we might swing

[Chorus]

[Chorus Repeat]

The Last Goodnight - Pictures Of You Review

Connecticut-based band The Last Goodnight who release their debut album Poison Kiss (Virgin Records) on August 28th have announced plans to join American Idol’s Elliot Yamin on his fall tour when they finish their current outing with Rocco DeLuca & The Burden. The 31-city cross-country stint begins October 5th in Chicago, IL at Park West and concludes November 26th in Washington DC at the 9:30 Club.

Poison Kiss captures the vagaries of life and love through a kaleidoscope of rock, pop, jazz, folk and soul influences that coalesce in an exquisitely nuanced work that is, by turns, shimmering and shattering led by John’s soulful, melodic vocals. The album was produced by A&R veteran Jeff Blue, who was instrumental in the development of Linkin Park, Macy Gray, Limp Bizkit and Korn.

The Last Goodnight is comprised of Kurtis John (lead vocals, piano), Michael Nadeau (lead guitar), Leif Christensen (bass), Anton Yurack (keyboards, harmonica, rhythm guitar), Skeeter (drums) and Ely Rise (keyboards).
