Funny People Trailer Song

Tags: funny people trailer song, funny people trailer songs, ringo starr photograph lyrics

I know there are some people out there who are dying to know what the name of the song featured in the trailer for Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler’s latest film, Funny People. Well, I can’t help you a damn bit. Just kidding… The name of the song is “Photograph” by Beatle Ringo Starr. It’s a great tune that he wrote with George Harrison and not to be confused with the equally brilliant song of the same name by Def Leppard. If you’d like to buy it on iTunes, click here. Otherwise, here’s a bit of info on the song from Wikipedia, Funny People trailer, and the lyrics to “Photograph:”

“Photograph” is a song written by Ringo Starr and George Harrison. It was released by Starr as a single in October 1973, reaching number eight and number one in the UK and U.S. singles charts, respectively. It can also be heard on the Ringo album and several compilation and live albums.

On “Photograph”, Starr is the lead vocalist and plays drums, and Harrison plays 12-string acoustic guitar and sings harmony vocals; Jim Keltner (drums), Klaus Voorman (bass), Nicky Hopkins (piano), Vini Poncia (acoustic guitar), Jimmy Calvert (acoustic guitar), Lon and Derrek Van Eaton (percussion), Bobby Keyes (tenor saxophone solo) are also featured. The orchestral arrangements are by Jack Nitzsche, and Richard Perry produced the recording.

I’m embeding the trailer and posting the lyrics below. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Ev’ry time I see your face,
It reminds me of the places we used to go.
But all I got is a photograph
And I realise you’re not coming back anymore.

I thought i’d make it the day you went away,
But I can’t make it
Till you come home again to stay-yi-yay-yi-yay.

I can’t get used to living here,
While my heart is broke, my tears I cried for you.
I want you here to have and hold,
As the years go by and we grow old and grey.

Now you’re expecting me to live without you,
But that’s not something that I’m looking forward to.

I can’t get used to living here,
While my heart is broke, my tears I cried for you.
I want you here to have and hold,
As the years go by and we grow old and grey.

Ev’ry time I see your face,
It reminds me of the places we used to go.
But all I got is a photograph
And I realise you’re not coming back anymore.

Ev’ry time I see your face,
It reminds me of the places we used to go.
But all I got is a photograph
And I realise you’re not coming back anymore.

Ev’ry time I see your face,
It reminds me of the places we used to go.
But all i got is a photograph
And I realise you’re not.
