Discover the story of the song > Local Boy In The Photograph – Stereophonics

The song is about a local boy who passed away at the age of 23 and the memories that still linger in the town. The protagonist remembers when he first heard the news under a pier painted red. Every year, the smell and taste of the air remind him of that day. The friends of the local boy still gather by the river, laying flowers and talking about the last time they saw him in the photograph.
