Photo-of-the-Day: The Song

101488_std A young singer/songwriter by the name of Brendan Paul Stephen Ryan in Braintree, MA, wrote and recorded a song called, Photo of the Day, influenced by Jamie Livingston's polaroids. Hugh came across it somehow. You might want to take a listen. Here's what Brendan had to say about the song on his MySpace page.

Info On The New Song (Photo Of The Day)

Hey all,

I honestly have no idea who still reads these, seriously it could be less than 2 folks (I wouldn't be surprised)...but for those who still check it I wanted to upload a new song of mine to spread a ridiculously interesting story I came across a few months back.

The new song is called Photo Of The Day and it was inspired by an article I read about a man named Jamie Livingston who took a polaroid of his life everyday up until the day he died. Featured in the article were the polaroids of his life where you could follow along through the moments that made up his days until the sad moments where he started becoming sick. It was extremely inspiring and something that sticks with me today.

So if you'd like, please check out the article as you listen to the song, its sort of the way I saw it being listened to.
