Intro

C
A picture of nothing does nothing
F
to free up my mind
Am
Those roses have dried up the
G
water's a waste of their time
F
I'd like nothing better than to
C
return to days of our song
G F
But a picture of nothing is all
G C
that will last for that long
I try to remember the hopes in my heart way back when
When only love mattered and running around with my friends
I'd go back tomorrow if I could only remember the way
But a picture of nothing is the only map I see these days

E Am F C
Try, I try, I try to unwind
E F G G
All those years I left behind
C
So I sit with my back to the
F
desert of all that I've done
Am
And try not to hold on to things
G
that have set with the sun
F
And I won't hold to tears that go
C
running off into the night
G
I'll take my last picture of
F G
nothing and wait for the next
C
morning light
G
I'll take my last picture of
F G
nothing and wait for the next
C F C G C
morning light

David Elias recommends:
-
Intricate, exacting, sonically meticulous, extemporary in all its planning, takes you into a room then into a field then into the void.

Because of a Flower
by Ana RoxanneBought the vinyl. Spectacular use of sound with some insane vocal tracks overhead.
go to album -
Start at the end and play it backwards. Or forwards. Sideways either way. Squarely unsquare and rapidly descending. Captured.
