Song information
The penultimate song from my 2024 RPM Challenge EP - Polaroid.

Okay, who among us who were around in the 70s/early 80s didn't have a Polaroid camera (even if it wasn't actually a Polaroid, you still called it that.) Compared to today when digital photos are measured in megapixels, the Polaroid quality is pretty poor. Even back then you knew it wasn't great, but it wasn't about the quality. It was about the immediacy of being able to capture a particular moment and not have to wait a week for your roll of film to come back from the processor. Today, we don't think much of the idea of instant photo memories, but back then, it was a big deal. And, of course, we all remember the "Polaroid wave" in which we were absolutely positive waving the newly-emerged print back and forth would make it develop faster.

This is a more moody and droning tune than the previous ones from the EP. It kind of sets the mood of looking back wistfully on a Summer fling when all you have left is the one snapshot and the memories.

Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics
Polaroid

Polaroid on my nightstand
shows the summer sun on your skin
your smile is like an echo
in the restless night

So many times we ventured
where summer sun comes to its end
passion of our place in time
we let madness take control

A fevered kiss, a whispered sigh
alive to every touch
blinded by sensation
we thought would never end

Polaroid on my nightstand
your eyes full of desire
memory of your touch
sparks the burning inside

Summer sunset fell
and the cool winds quenched the fire
All I have is a memory
and this polaroid, this polaroid

Let's face it the word "selfie" was started  by people who owned a polaroid camera.  Cool song, sounds a bit like Morrison

Really nice piece of music. I enjoyed it very much ... even though I never owned a Polaroid camera.

Very fine arrangements in this song. I like the repetitive bass sequence. It has that 80's touch to it I appreciate.
