about

This is a cover of the beautiful song by The Cure.
There's some magic in here--a really special vocal performance by Holly.

Here are the lyrics....

lyrics

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel

Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in, holding you close
How I always held close in your fear

Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger, brighter, and whiter than snow
Screamed at the make believe, screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage to let it all go

Remembering you fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white, so delicate, lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark

Remembering you, how you used to be
Slow drowned you were angels, so much more than everything
Hold for the last time, then slip away quietly
Open my eyes, but I never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
And never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
And always just breaking apart, my pictures of you

There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart, my pictures of you

about

Millennium Fields Chicago, Illinois

An epic, lush, pop-rock collaboration between singer/songwriter Holly Long and The Hitmaker, Millennium Fields is the center of a Venn diagram where these artists can explore the magical, big sounds of anthemic pop and atmospheric music often mined by U2, Simple Minds, and Kate Bush.
Their debut single “Stardust Glitter” is a perfect example—evocative, mysterious, and uplifting.
