Why Wasn't It Me?
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and poignant music cover from the 1910s, featuring the soulful expressions of a man and a woman lost in the depths of unrequited love. The cover art, created in 1918, was brought to life by the musical collaboration of Ramon Newton, Jimmy Campbell, and Reg Connelly, and was showcased and broadcast by Ramon Newton and his Savoy Havana Band. The image, available through Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a vivid and colorful representation of the era's romantic idealism. The man, dressed in formal attire with a serious and introspective expression, gazes longingly at the woman, who is depicted with a wistful and melancholic look on her face. She holds a bouquet of bright orange flowers, adding a pop of color to the otherwise muted tones of the cover. The title of the song, "Why Wasn't It Me?" is inscribed in bold, elegant letters at the top of the cover, adding to the sense of longing and regret. The price of the sheet music, displayed prominently below the title, is listed in shillings, reflecting the economic climate of the postwar era. The cover art is a testament to the enduring power of music to express the complexities of human emotion, and the continued appeal of romantic ballads that speak to the universal experience of unrequited love. With its striking visuals and haunting melody, "Why Wasn't It Me?" remains a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences today.
