about

One day I was snorkelling in a beautiful bay in Dunsborough thinking about how lucky I was to be alive, with the sun shining on my back and all that clear water. I am alive, I'm a woman and I'm on this amazing ball of nature that is hanging in the middle of space. Then someone yelled, "Get out there's a shark!" So I did and felt even luckier. I thought about all the girls I'd taught in school and how much I wanted them to know they could do anything they wanted. I thought about one of them in particular as I sung it into the recording microphone and I wish it for her still.

lyrics

She fell asleep, in her clothes and dreamt that she was flying over oceans that shimmered with ships that were on fire like beacons glowing in the night under a moon so fine-she wore a Mona Lisa smile and when she laughed she cried-
wake up, wake up, wake up wake up, wake up wake up

Wake up, go and get what you wanted, girl the world is spinning around and you're on it
hanging around in the middle of no-where, wake up-go and get what you wanted

Sometimes I like to imagine you are moving, moving towards me-about in your garden, maybe you're singing, little songs to me, to the seeds that you've sown in ragged little rows-tell me man alive, what are you gonna feed me? And when are you gonna wake up wake up, wake up wake up, wake up wake up?

Wake up, go and get what you wanted, girl the world is spinning around and you're on it
hanging around in the middle of no-where, wake up-go and get what you wanted

she wore a Mona Lisa smile and when she laughed she cried-
Wake up, go and get what you wanted, girl the world is spinning around and you're on it
hanging around in the middle of no-where, wake up-go and get what you wanted

Yes, you could be a guitarist, a vocalist or a songwriter, but can you do all three well? Carla Geneve can - lyrics like poetry (both for the individual lines and the overall effect), excellent guitar work that (with help from a tight and minimalist bass-and-drums backing band) produce full-on songs, and a voice that constantly surprises - and can be young and innocent in one song, full on philosophical and middle-aged Joni Mitchell in the next. peter_of_perth_hills
