about

This song is one of 3 on this album that was conceived by the "Magic Triangle" of song-writing. That's where Stevie starts messing around with chord progressions (and Jenny records them.....because, otherwise, he'll forget his own awesome...), Jenny starts humming a melody, and, invariably, Louie (the BF) will be listening while we think he's doing something else...when he's actually writing lyrics....all sneaky-like. Then Jenny weaves it all together to make it purty. Collaboration is the bestest. When we were at the final mixing stage of recording this album, our producer (Andrew Lipke) said to us, "You know you sing 'searching' like.....37 times in this song....." To which we replied, "Yesss.... (?)" And then he said, "You still want to call it 'Pictures'?" Us: "Yessss...(?)". Lol.

lyrics

Pictures flash in my mind
One by one I watch the days go by
Love is simple when it's new
I close my eyes and it's sunny outside

Avenues and boulevards
We've traveled near and far
I'm remembering, yeah I'm remembering a time
When it didn't seem so hard

And I'm searching yeah I'm searching
For a world when it was me and it was you
You were the sun I was over the moon

I see your face the way you look at me
And your lips say, hey baby this is all I'll ever need
But the wind caught your hair that day
And brushed my cheek before it took you away

You were searching you were searching
For a world bigger than you and me
So much more that you had to see
So let go ~~ Let me go ~~ you said
But remember me, yeah you'll remember me
A faded picture in your mind
(yeah yeah)

And I'm searching searching searching searching
(yeah yeah)
Searching
For a world bigger than you and me
I gotta open my eyes and see to let go
Let you go
But I'll remember you, yeah I'll remember you
A faded picture in my mind

about

Jenny & Me Collingswood, New Jersey

Jenny & Me was originally founded circa 2003 by Jenny Pilong (vocals) and Stephen Kocher (guitar) as an acoustic, indie-pop duo. In 2013, they added Kyle Maxwell (drums), and Tom Barrett (bass) into the mix and their sound has since evolved into a fresh, new wave 80s meets pop-punk fusion. From Steve's parents basement to playing premier spots in the Philly music scene, J&M's star is on the rise! ... more
