>D>    There?s an old Kodak camera in my dresser drawer   I ran across it just this afternoon   And I realized that I don’t ever use it anymore   In fact last time I did I think it was with you When we were down in Cozumel We had the whole beach to ourselves And it’s crazy now to think That it’s all there on that film And I could take it to the store To be developed - but what for? I can still see everything just fine                                         D?G?A   And who needs pictures with a memory like mine? Standing there I couldn’t help but think about Everything that might be on that role I think it even has another trip we took I guess that must have been at least three years ago When we were down in Baton Rouge   And there wasn’t much to do So we drove into New Orleans every afternoon And I swear that you would think that it was only yesterday Cause I can still see everything just fine And who needs pictures with a memory like mine? Somewhere in my closet   There’s a cardboard box just sittin’ on a shelf It’s full of faded memories                                               E--A And it’s been there ever-since the night you left Oh just forgotten photographs to remind me of the past Oh but I can still see everything just fine                                         Bm-E And who needs pictures with a memory like mine?                                         D?G?A D?G?A?D And who needs pictures with a memory like mine?

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la nostalgie liée aux souvenirs précieux, ceux qui restent gravés dans notre esprit plutôt que sur un film. Le narrateur se remémore des moments passés avec une personne spéciale, se rendant compte qu'il n'a pas besoin de photos pour revivre ces instants, tant ils sont vivants en lui. La présence d'anciens objets, comme un appareil photo ou une boîte de photos, ne fait que renforcer cette idée que les souvenirs peuvent être plus immédiats et significatifs que les images. Cela montre comment notre mémoire peut capturer l’essence des expériences vécues, sans nécessiter de supports tangibles.
