Europe - Pictures Lyrics






I'm out here gently drifting
We get so lost in the past
Letting go of the future
Knowing yesterday won't last

So I'll cut the cable
The time is now we've made it safe so far
Escape into the light of the Moon
And the shooting stars
To where you are

The clock hands stall their ticking
Maybe the Universe is numb
Venus shining clear and pleasant
Among the mother's many Suns

So I'll make up stories
To put the darkness in disguise
Escape into the light of the Moon
And the shooting stars
To where you are

So I'll paint the picture
Watch the colours, as they slowly dry
Escape into the light of the Moon
And the shooting stars
To where you are

    i'm out there gently drifting
    we get so lost in the past
    like letting go of the future
    knowing yesterday won't last

    so i'll cut the cable

    escape into the light of the moon and the shooting stars

    venus shining clear and pleasant
    among the monther's many suns

  33. U.... D....

    Aha, David Bowie... I'm so disappointed that not even words can express it. Joey, wtf have you done? Did you loose your roots completely? You are Swedish and not an London clone.... You need to get back to your heritage, back to were you started your journey. That means Upplands-Väsby... Sorry...

  34. E.... F....

    Amazing song greetings from Belgium. 🇧🇪 \m/

    3:19 - was not expecting such a dramatic change. Goosebumps. It's rare for me to like so many songs on one album... great stuff.

  38. G.... M....

    sounds like scorpions i like it

  39. J.... P....

    Europe amazing album walk the earth joeys got a powerful voice ❤️

  40. M.... C....

    For me, this is one of the most striking Europe songs I have ever heard, and I've heard a few, some of them more than once! With the reference to Venus, and echoes of David Bowie's 'Space Oddity', 'Pictures' is obviously an artistic rejoinder or companion piece to 'The Final Countdown', 30 years on.

    Joey Tempest: " 'Pictures' is an idea I've had in my head for some years. Half of that verse has been kicking round in my head for a while and I wanted to try it this time. A few weeks before the final rehearsal, I was at my parent's place (I used to write stuff there on the piano when I was a kid) and I wrote the second part of the verse and I was like "oh yes I've got it!" and I played it for the guys and they thought it was really different and cool. 'Pictures' is one of my favourites because it's out there where we have never really gone before and production-wise it's interesting. Lyrically in the studio, we were there for two weeks and all the decisions were made when we were there. We talked about doing a sequel for 'The Final Countdown' lyric and what happened to the people who were leaving ground in 1986 heading for Venus. We worked together with a guy called Aaron in Nashville that Dave (Cobb) knows and we worked on the lyric to explore what the fate was of the guys and girls floating out there after the journey from 'The Final Countdown'. Therefore, it's kind of a follow up lyrically from that song."

    ¡¡¡Asombroso!!! ❤
    Esto si es ser una banda completa, no les falta nada.
    ¡Laaaaaaarga vida al Rock!

    Yes ... Bowie and Procol Harum .. both have a melody similar

  48. S.... ....

    One of the most beautiful songs of Europe ever.

  49. H.... O....

    Lovely, moving song from my favourite band....

  50. h.... t....

    bonito y buen tema , la voz de joey impeque .buena balada para el disco

  51. v.... c....

    WHAT IS THIS????!!!!! COPY OF BOWIE?! WHY TEMPEST SINGS AS BOWIE?!......IN THE TITLE PUT: TRIBUTE BOWIE!....MANY MANY CONFUSION AND FEW IDEAS....DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO

  52. n.... g....

    Hermoso !!!
    Me encanto !!!!

  53. G.... M....

    This song is the best from the album. :)

  54. G.... B....

    Really disappointed with this album. And some of the choices done in here. This is probably the best solo Norum did on this album and it gets cut. Seriously?

  55. S.... W....

    Attualmente è la band più interessante/competente che c’è , e l’ultimo lavoro lo conferma ampiamente .. praticamente ci sono solo loro nel panorama musicale odierno.,, il resto è 0’ ... se si eccettua ovviamente gli ormai leggendari Rolling Stone, ma quelli fanno parte di un altra categoria, è la storia della Musica RocK ! quindi ci sono solo gli Europe... il resto o sono morti o sono gli ultimissimi Miti.

  56. A.... B....

    THX for Album :)

  57. Y.... M....

    Last look at Eden - best album for me

    Y.... M....

    Secret Society is my personal favorite.

  58. J.... M....

    The band have improved with time...like a fine wine. Great album but why why why did Dave Cobb fade out such a brilliant solo on pictures? Idiot of the year award!!!!

    J.... M....

    its the fade on the record? I thought this was a sample of the song

  59. E.... L....

    This is poetry 💜

  60. E.... J....

    Love this.

  61. A.... w....

    Is it true that these lyrics are suppose to be a continuation of the lyrics from the song The Final Countdown ?

    A.... w....

    Yes It Is 👌

    A.... w....

    I don´t know but it does make sence.

  62. V.... I....

    Beaitiful song - Love this ! ❤️❤️❤️

  63. T.... ....

    Ground control to major Tom 😉

  64. M.... G....

    Wonderful guys, I love it!!

  66. D.... D....

    le altre tracce al primo ascolto non mi hanno entusiasmato, ma questa... senza parole! E sì, si sente Bowie, si sente il rock anni 70... ma si sentono gli Europe! Bravo Joey!

    Great track but don't like the fade

  81. A.... D....

    sempre alla ricerca di nuove esperienze musicali.....da apprezzare!!!

  82. D.... D....

    This is boring to death. Europe is dead.

    D.... D....

    Francesco Ribaudo allora premesso il fatto che nessuno qua mi sembra abbia detto che debbano fare album come negli anni 80 ( magari! Almeno sarebbero di qualità) e che tutti qua sanno che hanno 50 anni..... Ma se manco ti rendi conto della differenza di produzione tra LLAE e sta porcheria, probabilmente é come mangiare un panino con la cioccolata e uno con la merda e non trovare differenza ha ha.... Ah alla fin fine gli esaltati sono tutti ( e pochi fans rimasti!) Che scrivono sotto qua sia in positivo che in negativo! Ormai se ne sono persi per strada a tonnellate !

    D.... D....

    Francesco Ribaudo é difficile trovare delle idee e metterle giù " bene" co sto cazzo di arrangiamento! A volte sembra non ci stia neanche il cantato ..... prova ad ascoltare un album dei vari def leppard, aerosmith, scorpions, ad dc degli anni 80 e i rispettivi ultimi album ! Poi ascolta gli europe anni 80 e questo! Forse capirai

    D.... D....

    Eliana Gusso io qui ti volevo! Non fai altro che confermarmi che sei una fanatica. I dischi degli Europe li conosco tutti, il mio primo LP è stato The Final Countdown, nel 1987.......e io sono dell' 82! Li ho seguiti sempre e ho comprato pure i lavori precedenti (e successivi), non c'è loro disco che non abbia ascoltato, e non ho bisogno di riascoltare nulla per capire differenze varie ecc.... Secondo me ti sfugge una cosa: secondo te una band che sceglie gli studi di Abbey Road, con tutta quella roba analogica, prende Dave Cobb come produttore, specializzato nelle sonorità vintage, vuole fare un prodotto che suoni come Last Look At Eden? Se gli arrangiamenti sono scarni, la voce è più "indietro" nel mix (tipico degli anni 70 e 60) e il tutto suona più crudo è perché qualcosa è andato storto? Semplice: loro volevano fare un disco COSÌ, i dischi delle band degli anni 70 che loro tanto amano, oppure anche i Beatles o i Pink Floyd, suonano più o meno in questo modo. Ti dirò, di idee veramente buone in questo disco ce ne sono alcune, ma è tutto giocato sul sound, sull'impatto. Non prendere come esempio i suoni degli anni 80, loro stessi non li hanno mai sopportati (Norum non fa altro che dirlo DA ANNI) e, lo dico da chitarrista e musicista da vent'anni, non rispettano affatto il vero timbro di uno strumento che ti suona "live", specialmente la batteria. Stai dicendo un mucchio di cose inutili, dimostri ignoranza e, ancora una volta, fanatismo. Vatti ad ascoltare ciò che ti piace e smettila di rompere il cazzo qui a persone che apprezzano. Che poi, se volessimo leccare il culo, dovremmo avere un tornaconto almeno, ahahahah! Che ridere!!!!

    Francesco Ribaudo mah dipende dai punti di vista.....

    What a fantastic tune, I can hear clearly loads of Bowie influence, do you?

    D.... L....

    I thought of Bowie immediately when I heard it. Probably intended as a tribute R.I.P Bowie

    D.... L....

    good to hear!

    D.... L....

    Is a Bowie tribute. (Space Oddity)

    D.... L....

    Not only David Bowie but also Queen / Freddy Mercury
