Lyrics

GIRL FROM GENOA (OR BARCELONA)
(STEVE DAFOE 2011)
(COPYRIGHTED)




CHORUS 1:

Amaj7 Cmaj7
OH, IT'S JUST A BEAUTIFUL DAY
PURE GOLD UNDER THE SUN
FROM THE CITY OF ROME
TO THE VALLIES OF TUSCAN
OH, IT ISN'T HERE TO STAY
FOR THIS GIRL FROM GENOA




VERSE 1:

Amaj7 (6TH Fret) Amaj7 (4TH Fret)
SHE FLOATS AND DANCES OVER THE SIDEWALK
HER SHIMMERING HAIR PURE GOLDD FROM THE SUN
SEE HER IN THE MARKET WHERE PEOPLE LAUGH AND TALK
JUST ANOTHER DAY OF WONDER AND FUN
FOR THIS GIRL FROM GENOA

VERSE 2:

Amaj7 (6TH Fret) Amaj7 (4TH Fret)
SHE SMILES AT THE SKY HARDLY AWARE
OF THE ALL THE MEN WHO STOP AND STARE
SHE STOPS ONLY TO BUY SOME FRUIT
WINKS AT A COUPLE OF MEN IN BUSINESS SUIS
FOR THIS GIRL FROM BARCELONA




CHORUS 2:

Amaj7 Cmaj7
OH, IT'S JUST A BEAUTIFUL DAY
GOLDEN UNDER THE SUN
COVERS THE COAST AND THE BAYS
OH, IT ISN'T HERE TO STAY
FOR THIS GIRL FROM BARCELONA



VERSE 3:

Amaj7 (6TH Fret) Amaj7 (4TH Fret)
SHE FROLICS AND PLAYS IN THE OCEAN
ON ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL ITALIAN BEACH
AS PEOPLE SIP THEIR TONIC AND GIN
JUST ANOTHER DAY OF FUN IN THE SUN
FOR THIS GIRL FROM GENOA

This is a really classy piece! I love it. The vocals are so rich...your voice has a magical timbre to it...great sound. Loved the way the rhythm guitar was in my left headphone and lead in my right. Blended nicely...great mix and excellent playing. Great word pictures and story, could almost feel the sun and see the girl as you sang. Loved the lyric about winking at the men in their business suits. Cute! The key changes and pauses were a nice touch. Well done!

Wow, I like the Spread and the different tones for each guitar. Great use of space. Vocals are balanced good. Great guitar playing, and assist guitar. I like it. Ending chord was perfect to me. ballance of Vocals and Guitar is good, Vocals sit perfect to me in the guitar mix.

Very well layered and chilling piece. Instrumentation is ideal for a piece like this. Too much production would ruin it. Very fun, playful, soulful and catchy tune.

Good piece of work. Great production work and performance. Some interesting tempo changes too. I liked the themes expressed in the lyrics. Good to have a story and familiar references. Certainly a different type of song than you normally get in this category.
