"Local Boy in the Photograph" was the first single from the Rock band Stereophonics. The song is taken from their debut album, Word Gets Around and was initially released in March 1997. The song reached #51 on the UK Singles chart however upon its release February 1998, it reached #14.The song is based on a true story of a boy from the small town of Flint in North Wales, who committed suicide by jumping in front of a train. As the song suggests, the boy's picture was on the frontpage of the local newspaper the following day. The boy was acquainted with band member Kelly Jones, and thus the lead singer felt a tribute to him was necessary. The song was given a Q Classic Song Award at the Q Awards in 2007.
