The incredible harmonies of Dave Haywood, Charles Kelley, and Hillary Scott are front and center with Lady Antebellum‘s newly released “Pictures” (8/9), the second track from their upcoming debut album on BMLG Records expected later this year. The thought provoking song about society’s unspoken rule that one’s true emotions should be hidden on social media is the follow up to their current single “What If I Never Get Over You” which continues to climb the charts and gain streams.
Our ever growing dependency on social media to not only present us as happy 24/7 but to also rely on acceptance via likes and comments has become a bit of a plague on our society. “Pictures” reminds us to never judge a book by its cover through relatable, poignant lyrics:
Yeah, we sure looked happy in pictures
The camera doesn’t show the way it hurts
No, that ain’t the way I remember it happening
In between the flashes it was sad, it was tragic
Yeah, we sure looked happy in pictures
The trio also premiered an intimate Vevo performance video of the song on Friday. The stripped down production showcases their iconic vocals supported by a trinity of guitars. Check it out below:
