3x5

This song is slightly antithetical to what we try and do as photographers, but the spirit of it makes me smile all the same, and it is one of my favorites.

 

Getting to hear it live, last night, was a dream.

 

"I'm writing you to catch you up on places I've been

And you held this letter, probably got excited

But there's nothing else inside it

Didn't have a camera by my side this time

Hoping I would see the world through both my eyes

Maybe I will tell you all about it when

I'm in the mood to lose my way with words

Yes, today skies were painted colors of a cowboy cliche

And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky

Are next to mountains anyway

Didn't have a camera by my side this time

Hoping I would see the world through both my eyes

Maybe I will tell you all about it when

I'm in the mood to lose my way, but let me say

You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes

It brought me back to life

You'll be with me next time I go outside

Just no more three by fives

I guess you had to be there

I guess you, guess you, guess you had to be with me

Oh, today I finally overcame

Tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame

Maybe I will tell you all about it when

I'm in the mood to lose my way, but let me say

You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes

It brought me back to life

You'll be with, with me, with me next time I go outside

Just no more three by fives" - John Mayer
