A Flock Of Seagulls – Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You) (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1982

“Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)” is a 1982 song by A Flock of Seagulls, the opening song and only hit single from their second album Listen.

The song exemplifies “synth-pop’s spaced-out loneliness” and yearning for imagined absent lovers, and is noted for its Wall of Sound-styled layer of synthesizer padding – a “multi-layered, hypnotic song”, according to AllMusic.

Unlike the band’s 1982 hit “I Ran (So Far Away)”, largely a United States and Australian hit, “Wishing” performed strongly in the band’s home country, the United Kingdom, and reached the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart; in the US it reached the Top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the middle of 1983. It was popular in South Africa, reaching #8.

Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You) (Long Version) 9:09
