Lyrics;-
Long ago on a Japanese Island
The Mother Monkey
Decided to wash the
Dirt away from the sweet potato 
This time before they ate

The other families saw this
And started to do the same
Soon enough it spread
Through the Nation
To other Islands

Collective consciousness
Is a powerful thing
A force of Nature
We are connected

The 100th Monkey
The 100th Monkey
The 100th Monkey
Everything’s connected

And as the people 
Start to realise
They’ve been in Prison
They’ve been Hypnotised 

Collective consciousness
Is a powerful thing
A force of Nature
We are connected

The 100th Monkey
The 100th Monkey
The 100th Monkey
Everything’s connected

Here is a link to the youtube video for the song! https://youtu.be/sXd5B2iSWck
I looked back at the few notes I collected during this Photo Op's song development time-frame and concluded I did not have much to go on after a two year lapse.  The lyrics were not fully documented in my notebook. I must have been using lyric ideas and ad-libbing them into the song. I do not know my state of mind and wish I was better at capturing this closer to the song's conception point.

Life was still fairly locked down due to Covid, Trump was still in-office and the George Floyd protests were ongoing. The song was created without any direct outside musical influence driving the creative direction. This was me inside my studio starting from ground zero and evolving the song over the course of probably several weekends by playing around with sounds, rhythms and textures until a fuzzy shape of cohesion slowly emerged.

Listening back, I suspect, I smashed together two fairly divergent musical ideas. Bold move Dave and perhaps disastrous from a song gluing perspective. I like it anyway. Lyrics were influenced by what was going on around me and one of those things was a narcissist clutching a bible and clearing a peaceful protest with tear gas to enable his next photo op in front of the church.  A holy moment indeed. 

Lyrics
Photo Op
by David Husted

Dew drop dreams
Silly games
Buy some more stuff
Throw it away
Is it me?
Where did I go?
When we turn our backs
let them take it away.

They say it's gonna rain again
I don’t have an umbrella
They say its time to hate again
Photo ops and killing

Is it really so improbable?
State news and oligarchs selling fools
Make lies a game, and fear predominant 
Shake the base of our democracy

Lyrics:-
Are we in the wilderness
As we search for happiness
Is confusion on the menu
As we choose our daily venues
We're bolder and older
And love is something else
The main thing's the right thing to do
It always helps

The twilight between times
Is something to embrace
Before change happens
And everything's replaced
Bye Bye, Bye Bye Youth
Bye Bye, Bye Bye Youth

When life seems to take its toll
And you can't get on a roll
There's a million different people
Having other such upheaval
Who told you , consoled you
That this is all you get
It's time to , define you
Think what you'll create 

The twilight between times
Is something to embrace
Before change happens
And everything's replaced
Bye Bye, Bye Bye Youth
Bye Bye, Bye Bye Youth

It's gonna be so good
Better than before

C'mon out the wilderness
You can find your happiness
With no confusion on the menu 
As you change your daily venues
We're bolder and older
And love is something else
The main thing's the right thing to do
It always helps

The twilight between times
Is something to embrace
Before change happens
And everything's replaced
Bye Bye, Bye Bye Youth
Bye Bye, Bye Bye Youth
