Three years and a day
So people tell me post more(Scott). I think I feel a certain pressure now that people actually read this thing. I also feel crazy every time I read Said The Gramophone because Sean, Dan and Jordan manage to select great music and write about it with grace and skill.
So I'm doing what is probably the worst thing ever! I'm simply writing about a song that they posted. I really think I need to do this for a few reasons, firstly It is a great song, secondly I always moan about the Toronto music scene and how it has no class.
Harmony's voice sounds "like a kid standing at the window watching the rain"*. While not my words, and not written about Harmony they sum it up quite nicely.
I have this thing that I sometimes divide songs into two camps: Songs that I will defend to the death, and songs I think are good but I can understand that everyone doesn't share my viewpoint. When I set out to tell you about this distinction my plan was to tell you that I'd put "No Photographs" into the later camp, the more I listen to the song the less sure I am about that....Three years and a day... The siren song lures me closer.
So Toronto, are we ok?

I agree. This song, lovely as it is, may be twee. I don't know. I was listening to it when I read your theory and although it's been at the top of my list since downloading it a few days ago I wonder, will it still be in a month? a year?
