Distraction

Distraction by Melodie Yvonne Ramey

I’d sure love to be your distraction
Somebody else’s dubious attraction
I’d love to be somebody’s trigger
A wreck on the tracks, baffled eyes gettin’ bigger

I’ll be something blue, something borrowed
But just don’t expect me to be there tomorrow
I’ll be what you want me to be
But just for a while ‘cause lonely I’m free

Just give me some time, some time to be mine
If you go too fast, I’ll fall behind
Give me some time, some time to unwind
Or you just won’t like this mess that you find

You look at me like I’m some candy
And I’ll be so sweet until you can’t stand me
You look at me like I’m for real
It’s just for this moment ‘cause now I can’t feel

You look at me like I’m your savior
Well, I got news, I’m all bad behavior
And I wish you were here in this moment
Somethin’ about you makes me wanna own it

Just give me some time, some time to be mine
If you go too fast, I’ll fall behind
Give me some time, some time to unwind
I’ll run ahead if you fall in line

Just give me some time, some time to be mine
If you go too fast, I’ll fall behind
Just give me some time, some time to unwind
Don’t burn too bright, we’ll run out of time

I’d sure love to have a distraction
Somebody to be my dubious attraction
I’ll be what you want me to be
But just for a while cause lonely I’m free

Melodie Yvonne

Melodie Yvonne, lead photographer and owner of Photographic Melodie, grew up in the small southern Indiana town of North Vernon. She picked up her first camera at the age of 5, and was immediately hooked. By the age of 15 she began to turn every trip, even just to the local park, into a fantasy scene of her own imagination, and started mentoring with many local professionals. Melodie received an Associates of Applied Science in Visual Technologies majoring in Photography from Ivy Tech in 2002 after studying under acclaimed professors and many other masters in the field.

Melodie’s main focus has always been music photography. Growing up listening to many amazing musicians inspired her dream to create visual images that made people feel the way they do when listening to music. Her goal was to help people SEE the music.

Melodie has done numerous jobs around the country ranging from working for bands to being the official photographer on many southern Indiana Poker Runs. Her specialties are in nature, music, and candid event photography. She published her first print work, a collection of images & poetry, in 2011, and has since published many more print works. Melodie currently acts as owner & lead photographer at Photographic Melodie, House Photographer for Purdue Theatre, and Tour Photographer for multiple Billboard Charts topping bands as well as freelance work with many other media outlets, venues, and musicians.
