When not playing and writing, they were raiding their father’s album collections for inspiration and direction. With the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Crowded House and Simon and Garfunkel they were in good stead for the future. Also drawing from contemporary artists such as Fleet Foxes, Angus Stone & Bon Iver they have developed a great, fresh sound.
The boys met in the early years of high school and quickly became musical companions, ready to take on the world with their melodic songs and subtle harmonies. Georgia Fair’s lineup is completed by Paul on bass & Ben’s brother Nick on drums.
Picture Frames
Georgia Fair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I picked her up and away we go,
And I'm leaving home without you I know,
And I don't give a damn quite where we go,
Cause I'm leaving here for good you know,
And I told you that before
About nine to five, five to nine
Simple times and the same old life and then
This time we'll re-arrange and we'll rip down all those picture fames of my life
This time we'll leave this town
Jenny was a girl at the side of the road,
I don't pick her up cause she's too damn old,
And she's staying home without you, I know,
And I don't give damn quite where she goes,
Cause I'm leaving here for good you know,
And I told you that before
This time we'll try to change those things we learnt and grown to hate
About nine to five, five to nine
Simple times and the same old life and then
This time we'll re-arrange and we'll rip down all those picture fames of my life
This time we'll leave this town
This time we'll try to change those things we learnt and grown to hate
About nine to five, five to nine
Simple times and the same old life and then
This time we'll re-arrange and we'll rip down all those picture fames of my life
This time we'll leave this town
The lyrics of "Picture Frames" by Georgia Fair describe a person who is leaving their old life behind and starting fresh. The song starts with the singer picking up a girl named Amy on the side of the road, indicating a sense of spontaneity and adventure. The singer is leaving whatever town they were living in, and they seem to have no plan for where they're going next. They just want to leave everything behind and start anew.
The chorus of the song talks about changing the things that the singer has grown to hate in their previous life. They want to break away from the monotony of the 9 to 5 life and try something new. The line "re-arrange and rip down all those picture frames of my life" is a metaphor for the singer leaving their old life behind and starting anew. They no longer want to be defined by their past and want to break free of the constraints that have kept them in one place for so long.
Overall, the song is about taking risks and embracing change. It's a reminder that sometimes we need to leave things behind in order to find something better.
