Jonathan Barker Hi, I've just ordered Genevieve's "Libra Rising" EP on CD. Since our lockdown here, I've been watching Genevieve playing live from her home recently. My favourite track is "Bookshop boy", but all the tracks are fantastic. Genevieve is a singer-songwriter from Gloucestershire, but is often playing live in venues in the West Midlands. Please check Genevieve on Facebook, Instagram & YouTube.

There was a rockstar up north who was meant to save the trees But he didn't turn up, a hangover I believe And there’s a band playing real music whose shows are really great But the amount of likes their Facebook page has doesn’t correlate And nowadays there's nights where we'd rather stay at home Watching a party we’re not at through our telephones And there’s people who actually believe the mail online And there’s twelve year old girls with faces more made up than mine There's cages and zoos There's waiting in queues And everybody's in a rush to tell you what to do All impatient and rude Nostalgic and blue Nobody wants to be here, nobody wants to be here Are we gonna let it go down? We’ve got the power to make peace Fight with love for what you believe In twenty years they're not gonna be around And it’ll just be us in a world of love I'm stuck in a cycle of fatigue And they tell me all I need is a good nights sleep Some old man said these are the best days of my life So why am I spending them stuck in stuffy rooms? Spent so much time observing, crazy how much I'm learning I see attention shifting from the real to the fiction And I wanna scream in stubborn ears Live in the moment while you’re here But nobody wants to be here, nobody wants to be here Are we gonna let it go down? We’ve got the power to make peace Fight with love for what you believe In twenty years they're not gonna be around And it’ll just be us in a world of love Are we gonna let it go down? We’ve got the power to make peace Fight with love for what you believe In 20 years they're not gonna be around And it’ll just be us in a world of love

Bookshop Boy 03:38
Today I had a peppermint tea in the cafe of a bookshop And my eyes fell on a boy unlike any other I laughed as he spoke even though he told no jokes And oh my god I wish I put more effort in my makeup this morning Bookshop boy, gimme your name, give me a smile, gimme your number Bookshop boy gimme your hand, gimme your love, gimme an offer I like your smile and you look like you read the kind of books that I enjoy Him even noticing me I highly doubt Oh bookshop boy come pick me up before I pass out And oh my god I wish I put more effort in my makeup this morning Bookshop boy, gimme your name, give me a smile, gimme your number Bookshop boy gimme your hand, gimme your love, gimme an offer I like your smile and you look like you read the kind of books that I enjoy As the world gets smaller people's heads are getting bigger But his feet look steady on the ground I bet he reads the Sunday Times magazine I bet he goes to all the coolest parties I see us driving round in his car I bet he’d treat me far far better Serving people in a bookshop Serving people in a bookshop Serving people in a bookshop, making me collapse Serving people in a bookshop, asking me out perhaps Serving people in a bookshop Serving people in a bookshop Oh love me in a bookshop Bookshop boy, gimme your name, gimme a smile, gimme your number Bookshop boy gimme your hand, gimme your love, gimme an offer Bookshop boy, gimme your name, gimme a smile, gimme your number Bookshop boy gimme your hand, gimme your love, gimme everything you’ve got to offer I like your smile and you look like you read the kind of books that I enjoy And I’ve never enjoyed a bookshop boy before

I think you’ve had too may beers Truth is I have so many fears And I can't breathe when I’m in crowded rooms So I drag you out breathe in cold air Two cigarettes and one lighter DJs never play my favourite tunes I feel pain and I want rest And I feel low with every breath It's the weekend and I’ve got no Friday feeling Pain doesn’t plan on leaving Stays with me morning, afternoon and evening Friday night I wanna feel alright But I can't seem to connect To the girl in the dress In the mirror In the middle of London I can't find my breath Middle of the night it slows my step Makes me out of time when I’m in the zone On the happiest night it kills my vibe A feeling I could never describe With all my friends but i feel so alone I feel pain with every drum beat Fridays should taste so much more sweet It's the weekend and I’ve got no Friday feeling Pain doesn’t plan on leaving Stays with me morning, afternoon and evening Friday night I wanna feel alright But I can't seem to connect To the girl in the dress In the mirror

I still hope you’ll come and stay I wish you were here babe After all the things you never said All the places we have been in my head I don't wanna wallow but I’m not okay Every time my mind’s bored it wanders back to that day And I drive myself mad thinking bout these past two years It's gone so fast and hurt so much, makes me feel sick, it's weird April showers just got stronger Missing you makes nights seem longer In July it just gets hotter I feel like I’m under water You could never pick a side I was always second best Know I'm dumb to be surprised That my team has lost again April showers just got stronger Missing you makes nights seem longer In July it just gets hotter I feel like I’m under water I want your spirit to follow me home There's so much about me I think you should know x3 And we carry on despite the pain But things turn inside out within my brain April showers just got stronger Missing you makes nights seem longer In July it just gets hotter I feel like I’m underwater April showers just got stronger Missing you makes nights seem longer In July it just gets hotter I feel like I’m underwater I still hope you’ll come and stay I feel like I’m underwater After all the things you never said I feel like I’m underwater And I was always second best I feel like I’m underwater Surprised to have lost again I feel like I’m underwater I still hope you’ll come and stay I wish you were here babe

Touch you once to know you’re real then I'll go back to sleep Daily mistakes mean that I’ve grown afraid to take a breath in order to speak You’ve no clue where I’ve been but nor do I if truth be told I was off my face making mistakes touching strangers faces But I'd take all those strange lips back For just one minute with you You’ve been busy but you still make time to send a message to me now and then When I last saw you ignored me in order to flirt with an old friend They'd warned me not to care too much And I promised that I'd forget your touch but every thought of you is hallelujah But I'd take all those strange lips back For just one minute with you I can't keep waiting for you to change And I can't help the way I behave You don’t know me, I don’t know you But when you’re here for a minute you do You don’t know me, I don’t know you But when you’re here for a minute you do You don’t know me and I can't know you But when you're lying here for a minute I believe that you do I'd take back all those strangers lips Yeah we wouldn't even kiss All my crazy days would be through If I could have just one minute with you
