This stunning photograph, entitled “Day after Day” was sent to us by David Pechulis. He is more than just a photographer – he is a storyteller who is inspired by music and his own thoughts. He wrote this to accompany his submission:
“Day After Day.” As the sun continued setting, the contrast of colors transitioned from black to gold. It also contains the marina and island chain.
The relevance of the song as the title of the photograph: I was walking back on the Historic Railroad Trail listening to “Day After Day,” by BadFinger when I stopped to view the amazing sight before me. I began reminiscing about my daughter’s upbringing the beautiful women they have become.
A little music history. The lead singer of BadFinger wrote the song about the birth of his daughter. The song was produced by George Harrison. George Harrison also collaborated on the song with the addition of the slide guitar.
Pete Ham wrote the song during a stay at an English countryside manor. The days were long, isolated, and the weather was gloomy. He recounts learning of his wife’s pregnancy and the coming of his son in the verses, “I remember finding out about you,” “Everyday my mind is all around you,” “Bring it home, baby make it soon.” The birth of his son and his newborn cry are reflected in the verse, “I remember holding you while you sleep,” and “I feel the tears that you weep.” The weather and his isolation are referenced in the verses, “I remember looking out my lonely room, day after day” and “Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day.”
