Story behind the song
I saw an old photo of a woman from the early 19th century online. It was very worn and faded, and her face was only barely visible. The poster said her name was Irene, but no other information. I had to write a song about her.
Lyrics
Vs1 Faded Irene is a face in an album From a box in closet that nobody opens But I did while looking for some piece of nothing And ended up finding faded Irene Vs2 I'm sure Irene was not always so faded Her eyes were once bright, maybe blue, maybe green Her hair was once golden or red like a sunrise But now I just know her as faded Irene Bridge She's kin to my mother, my dad or some other There's only a first name when I turn her over She lived till she didn't, there's no dates or numbers I only know that I couldn't have known her Vs3 Faded Irene has a story to tell me But her lips aren't moving, her silence is deafening I brush with my fingers to see her more clearly But there's no clearly seeing sweet faded Irene Bridge She wears a small locket of gold, maybe silver There's Battenburg lace at her throat and her wrists She stands like a statue, half smiling at no one Not knowing I've pulled her from time's dusty mist Vs4 Faded Irene is a face in an album From a box in a closet that nobody opens But I did while looking for some piece of nothing And ended up finding faded Irene c2022 Lori Lorenz
