Backstory:
Harmless Photograph was formed in the small town of Butte, Montana in 2010, when Charlie ‘Chaz’ Tanner, a local coffee shop barista, shared a few songs he’d been working on with his regular customer, Rebecca ‘Becky’ Sinclair, a library assistant with an ear for music. The duo soon began writing and playing together, eventually adding drummer Pete ‘Petey’ Robertson and bassist Elliot ‘El’ Warner to their lineup. Their unique sound, a fusion of their diverse musical influences, quickly caught the attention of their local community, and they started performing at small venues and local festivals.
In 2013, after self-releasing their first EP, ‘Shadows and Echoes,’ they gained recognition from a regional radio station, which helped them acquire a wider fan base. From there, Harmless Photograph has continued to grow, touring across the country and releasing several successful albums. Despite their success, however, they’ve always remained true to their small-town roots and the genuine, heartfelt music that brought them together.

Title:
“Mirror of Moments”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am C G D
In the mirror of moments, no time to rehearse,
We’re captured in shadows, but dreaming in verse,
We sail on the promise, every note is a prayer,
In the echoes of silence, you’ll find us there.
(Chorus)
Em C G D
Oh, Harmless Photograph, snapshots of the soul,
In the lens of the luminous, we chase the untold,
With every strum, with every beat,
We paint the world with our melody sweet.
(Verse 2)
Am C G D
Through the window of whispers, we weave our song,
In the stream of the sonnet, we float along,
Underneath the starlight, we find our tune,
In our harmless photograph, we dance under the moon.
(Chorus)
Em C G D
Oh, Harmless Photograph, moments in a frame,
In the canvas of the cosmos, we etch our name,
With every chord, with every word,
We sing the song that’s never been heard.
