Genevieve
Keith Landry
Well, about six months ago, I uploaded a rough study called “Songwriting Day One.” I wasn’t sure where the song would go, but words came in January just in time for this year’s RPM album… And before I forget… Curse you Bm!!!
GENEVIEVE
Genevieve, the girl with the world in her hands. It might be hard to believe it. She’s only fifteen, but she stands for something I’ve been trying to hold on to ever since I was a kid, fearing nothing, perceiving the world as I once did
Genevieve, nothing’s out of her reach. You might need to see to believe her. Take it from me, she’ll teach you something with a light in her eyes, fearing nothing, with vision clearer than winter skies
Ready to take on the world
Never knowing how hard it might be
The power of one little girl
In so many ways she’s wiser than me
Genevieve, the girl with the world in her hands. Don’t try to deceive her. You might never know why she stands for something I’ve been trying to hold on to ever since I was a kid, fearing nothing, perceiving the world as I once did
This song starts with a riff that sort of reminds me of the "That's the way" song by Led Zeppelin. It's a nice song but did not impress me as the other ones.
Those are really fine lyrics Keith to a very pretty song.
