Name: Colour Running Away
Duration: P00H04M11S
Description: Dug out of a drawer is a photo. Trinidad, 1942. There’s a parent and grandparents barely seen through the bleach after decades on desks and in windows. Now its 2023 and there’s a retro-style photo booth in the corner of a sweatbox in Cardiff. It throws back to that cool old school print. And we wonder which one lasts the longest... is it the photo, the feel, or the moment?

Dug out of a drawer is a photo. Trinidad, 1942. There’s a parent and grandparents barely seen through the bleach after decades on desks and in windows.

lyrics

Just a picture
Just a photograph
Just a fraction
Of a second remains
Locked in motion
Two hearts react
It’s Just a picture
Just a photograph

When the colour runs, will you run on away?
When we crack in heat, will sweetness keep?
When the colour runs, oh will you stay
‘Til the picture fades and one more day?

Simple celluloid
Just a girl and a boy
Picture perfect kiss
How’d it get to this?
Just a picture, just a relic, Just an artefact
It’s just a picture
Just a photograph

When the colour runs, will you run on away?
When we crack in heat, will sweetness keep?
When the colour runs, oh will you stay
‘Til the picture fades and one more day?

When the colour runs, will you run on away?
(Run, run away)
When we crack in heat, will sweetness keep?
(Run, run away)
When the colour runs, oh will you stay
(Run, run away)
‘Til the picture fades and one more day?
