Flock Of Seagulls - Wishing (Live At The Beach) (DMC Commercial Collection 102 Two Track 3)

Flock Of Seagulls - Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You) (Live At The Beach) 5:39 (120 BPM) Remix By Philip Kelsey “Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)“ is a 1982 song by A Flock of Seagulls, the opening song and only hit single from their second album Listen. The song exemplifies “synth-pop's spaced-out loneliness“ and yearning for imagined, absent lovers, and is noted for its Wall of Sound-styled layer of synthesizer padding – a “multi-layered, hypnotic song“, according to AllMusic. According to lead singer Mike Score, “Wishing“ was based on a real person. When recalling the experience with this person, he said, “It was the eve of the first trip we ever took to America, and I had met a girl. We went out for the night, and I didn't want to forget her, so I said, 'We're going on tour and I'll be back. I'd like to get a photograph of you, if I could get one.' And she said, 'No, because you're going to go on to be famous and you'll forget me.'“ Country: UK Label: DMC-102/1 Released: 1991
