Flock of Seagulls - "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)"


Listen (1983)

The followup album to their eponymous debut (with the big hit I Ran) wasn't nearly as successful, but I love this single especially the intro drums.

thumbs up!

This song just kind of drones away, but it's all kinds of hypnotic to me.

In some ways, I like this more than "I Ran". Something about this tune that is just real nice....

It is easy to categorize them as "new wave", but they actually had a unique sound.

My friend often slips this song into his set when he spins at goth nights. One of the band's best songs easily.

What it is Rip? No surprise that u dig this track! This is one of my favorite songs. I've always loved the keyboards to it. It's such a cool song. Everytime I hear it, it brings back great memories for me. It was such a great time and period.
