Photograph - Blue Rodeo ---------- From the CD: Five Days in July Words and Music by: Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor Transcribed by: (Drake Hirasawa) Lyrics copied from the Blue Rodeo web site: www.bluerodeo.com Key: A (Capo on 2nd fret. Chords shown for key of G.) Intro: Started out so simple Everything so innocent and plain She was in a doorway And I was walking nowhere down the main She whispered something softly And stepped into the light Can you help me out she said I’m a little lost tonight One day love just hits you with a flash Lights go off around you like some photograph She said her bags were stolen All they left her was the camera on her arm She told me she was new in town Only two weeks off the farm Why did I believe her Heaven only knows She looked into my eyes And my resolution goes One day love just hits you with a flash Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph Bridge: Pictures of two fools laughing at the world Smiling as only good luck does Truth is you’re not even looking at me girl All the time I was falling You kept on stalling Sizing up how big a fool I was Woke up in the morning I don’t think that I had been asleep too long The room was dark and empty I could see that all my clothes and money were gone I’ve run out of excuses And people I can blame If she ever asked me too I’d do it all again One day love just hits you with a flash Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph

La chanson parle de la tromperie et de l'hypocrisie, mettant en lumière les travers des personnes qui prétendent défendre des valeurs tout en agissant à l'opposé. Elle évoque un monde où les faux-semblants sont monnaie courante, et où ceux qui exploitent les autres, en particulier les plus vulnérables, semblent intouchables. Il est question d'une forme de désillusion face à la corruption, avec un appel poignant à la justice, notamment en ce qui concerne le respect des droits des peuples autochtones. Le contexte peut être interprété dans la lutte contre l’injustice sociale et les inégalités, reflet des tensions contemporaines concernant le traitement des terres et des droits ancestraux. C'est un rappel de la nécessité de rester vigilant face aux abus et de prôner l'authenticité dans un monde souvent complexe et déroutant.
