Though that idea is a familiar face throughout pop music, the lyrics take an atypical turn in that Starr has no hope that they will find their way back to one another. In the song’s lines, Starr talks about being haunted by the memory of the relationship with only a photograph to remember them by.
“ Photograph” is a sentimental ode to a loss of a lover. Though the song first grabbed audiences for its romantic balladry, it soon went on to take on new meaning in light of Harrison’s death in 2001. The lead single off the album was the somber track, “Photograph.” The song went on to become one of Starr’s most famous solo efforts, notable for his collaboration with George Harrison. Ever the glue guy, for his third effort Starr brought all of the Beatles together in the closest thing fans ever got to a fab four reunion. He opted for something a little poppier and a little lighter than the experimental rock of McCartney, Lennon, and Harrison.īy 1973, Starr already had two full-length solo albums that had made him a force in the music industry in his own right. As all four of the Beatles began to strive for artistic identity in the tricky solo realm, Ringo Starr began to carve out a different kind of sound from the rest of his former bandmates. Photograph is a song by English rock musician Ringo Starr that was released as the lead single from his 1973 album Ringo.
