Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You) was a 1982 New Wave song by A Flock Of Seagulls, appearing as the opening performance on their second album Listen. Its wistful, bleak lyrics on separation are built on a driving rhythm backed by a heavy Wall of Sound-styled layer of synthesizer padding. In contrast to the band's 1982 hit "I Ran", which was largely a United States hit, "Wishing" song peaked strongly in Great Britain where it reached the Top 10, but only reached #26 on the U.S. Billboard charts in summer 1983.
The lyric have something of poetry with the 80's theme: indecision and love.
