Georgia Rose

from Seven Years by Matt Joe Gow

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Recorded and produced by Matt Joe Gow and Andrew Pollock `Seven Years' takes its title from the chorus lyrics of a song (`Steady Life') from Matt's debut album `The Messenger': ``Seven years are gonna change a man . . . ''.

    Seven years have also changed some songs. Take the track `Down River' -- initially titled `The Messenger' and recorded at Sing Sing Studios with Nash Chambers for Matt's debut. The song evolved via years of touring and has been reborn as a different beast on this record.

    And time alters people, too, of course.

    For example, the third verse on `Georgia Rose' speaks about the death of Matt's grandfather and his memories of him as a child; `Right by You' documents the end of a long-term relationship that had begun in Matt's hometown (Dunedin, New Zealand) and finished in Melbourne; while `Runnin' on Time' is the sound of a band on the road, trying to win over new audiences with some loud rock 'n' roll.

    A diverse set of songs ranging from foot stomping rock 'n roll numbers and heartfelt americana belters through to harmony laden shimmering alt country and spacious ballads, 'Seven Years' contains seven years worth of Matt Joe Gow's finest songwriting and was the beginning of his journey as a producer.

about

In memory of Jim & Jean Gow

lyrics

Georgia Rose

I been traveling down these streets alone
Like a river flowing to the sea
Like a child scorned though duly loved
Or a gypsy born of no belief
Every town that I lay my head
'Fore I sleep there's a moments peace
When she comes to me singing low and sweet
I shall be released

Take me home sweet Georgia Rose, take me home let me live again
Take me home sweet Georgia Rose, with a voice that were heaven sent
Ain't a song that I wanna sing, ain't a river that I wanna ride
Without you sweet Georgia Rose by my side

The Days fell one by one
And the years started doubling up
'Til the kiss from a stranger sought
Were just lips to an empty cup
But when the truth that I knew inside
Weren't the words most wanna hear
It was the sweet sound of Georgia Rose
Singin' loud and clear

Take me home sweet Georgia Rose, take me home let me live again
Take me home sweet Georgia Rose, with a voice that were heaven sent
Ain't a song that I wanna sing, ain't a river that I wanna ride
Without you sweet Georgia Rose by my side

In the fields Ma, I dream it still
He's a waving like when I was young
His sleeves rolled, hands of soil, arms blackened from the sun
Oh when he passed lord it left me cold
Kinda cold ain't no shelter from
'Til her voice took me in a warm embrace and carried me in song

Take me home sweet Georgia Rose, take me home let me live again
Take me home sweet Georgia Rose, with a voice that were heaven sent
Ain't a song that I wanna sing, ain't a river that I wanna ride
Without you sweet Georgia Rose by my side
