about

"New York-based Bee Children have released their new song Genevieve. An Alternative Rock tune tinted with shades of Gothic and Pop Rock, Genevieve has a sound that walks the perfect line between unique and approachable. Its moderately slow groove casts a moody and almost vampiric atmosphere. There seems to be a hauntingly lonely quality to the song. It is like watching, from a distance, your love live their life without you. Particular to Genevieve is its through-composed lyrics. They are drenched in infatuation. desire, and fantastical romance. While the chorus always sounds familiar, the lyrics change and grow with the story being told. Nonetheless, Genevieve has so much staying power that listeners will be confident they can sing along after the first listen. All in all, Bee Children have made a strong statement with Genevieve and display an aptitude for catchy melodies, a unique sound, and mood." Zachary Larson

lyrics

Daylight breaks
It’s another day, the same old place
Still haunted by your smiling face
As time slips past
I agonize so quietly
What could we be? What could we be?

Genevieve, what can I do
Madly, I’m in love with you
You don’t see me in the crowd
I’m too shy to cry it out
Yet here I am, a lonely place
Contemplate your warm embrace
I’ll follow you, I’ll follow you
I don’t know what else to do

See you dance tonight
I steal a glance and close my eyes
Let daydreams take flight
Pulsing lights
Through eyelids spark my fantasies
A polaroid forms instantly
Picture perfect you and me
Picture perfect you and me
Picture perfect you and me

Song by song
All the others come and go
You dance with them, but they don’t know you
Night moves on
I watch you from the balcony
Oh, why not me, dear Genevieve?

Genevieve, you’re not their kind
Others have a one-track mind
Dance away the blinding madness
They all only offer sadness

Spend your days another way
What can I say? What can I say?
One last time so quietly
I watch you from the balcony

One last chance - one night
Take a breath or lose my mind
Anxiety inside
I’m too shy
Pulsing lights shine down on me
I think I saw you look at me
Trembling like blowing leaves
I can’t believe it's happening
Can’t believe you noticed me and smiled

The last dance
Our first night
Feel your hand wrapped up in mine
I close my eyes a smile ignites
The first time your healing light
Memories like golden dreams
Can’t believe it’s happening
Never thought you’d notice me
Saw you staring back at me
Tell me what you see in me
Tell me what you see in me
Tell me what you see in me
Tell me what you see in me
Genevieve, my Genevieve
Tell me what you see in me
Now you are my Genevieve
Now you are my Genevieve
Tell me what you see in me
Tell me what you see in me
Just being kind, can I believe?
Tell me what you see in me
Tell me what you see in me
