The Party Lingers On

The Party Lingers On by Melodie Yvonne Ramey

We are all just politicians in a fuckbook kind of world
And I’m far from proper pretty ‘cause I’m just a little girl
Never tried to grow up but I’ve got big girl pants on
And no matter what you throw at me the party lingers on

I sit alone in solitude, and let connections linger
The chemicals that scrub my mind can’t get it any cleaner
And if I had a dollar every time I wouldn’t let you
Then I’d maybe have enough to buy the right drug to forget you

We are all just politicians in a fuckbook kind of world
And I’m far from proper pretty ‘cause I’m just a little girl
Never tried to grow up but I’ve got big girl pants on
And no matter what you throw at me the party lingers on

I smile a mile unflinchingly a few feet from your heart
You’re standing here right next to me although we’ve grown apart
But I just plain won’t stand here, and wait for this to end
I’m gonna take my smile from your rough sea of discontent

We are all just politicians in a fuckbook kind of world
And I’m far from proper pretty ‘cause I’m just a little girl
Never tried to grow up but I’ve got big girl pants on
And no matter what you throw at me the party lingers on

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.
