While
reminiscing with friends about Norfolk's
Boathouse being
torn down, I was poking around YouTube and uncovered a song which I had completely forgotten about: "
Picture Me With You" by Norfolk's own
States.
Released in 1981, I recall hearing this pretty frequently on the radio in middle school but I don't think I realized at the time that they were a local band (was this song ever played outside of Hampton Roads?). This was their second and final LP; I have no idea what happened to them after that.
Squarely in the late 70s / early 80s
new wave mode (check out the shirts in the video!), this song still sounds pretty good.
"Picture Me With You" --
live version (@
Rogues in Va Beach),
studio version.
