Backstory:
In the twilight of 2012, four struggling photographers from Liverpool, England, discovered a shared love for music around the bonfire of an impromptu camping trip. Each one sought solace from their daily struggles in the world of melodies and beats. The serendipitous realization of their shared passion sparked the formation of the band that would become known as ‘Elaborate Camera’. They combined their musical talents and love for capturing breathtaking images into a unique, sensory experience for their fans. Their music became an audio-visual journey, with every album released accompanied by a photo book of their inspirations.
Genre:
Elaborate Camera’s music can best be described as Alternative Rock with a hint of Indie Pop, blending in elements from their photographic background to create something eclectic.
Title:
“Frozen Frame”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]I’ve been walking down this [D]lonely road
[Em]Searching for a [C]memory to hold
[G]A picture of you [D]smiling back at me
[Em]Caught in the [C]light of eternity
(Chorus)
[G] I need a [D]Frozen Frame
[Em]To capture the [C]essence of your name
[G]In the silence of the [D]night, your memory [Em]ignites
[C]Trapped in the [G]shutter’s light, my [D]Frozen Frame
(Verse 2)
[G]The colors of the [D]dawn, the shadow’s play
[Em]Are echoes of your [C]love fading away
[G]In the viewfinder, [D]you’re forever mine
[Em]A solitaire [C]diamond in the sands of time
(Repeat Chorus)
