Song Information:
Written and recorded in November 2005, this song had been hanging around for a few months without verses just the chorus. We have a poster of Rouen, circa 1972, in the bathroom its looked at quite often and in that poster is a young, long haired young man in what look like velvet pants (flares of course!), sitting with a coffee, unaware of the looks hes getting from people walking past. Im not sure what his story is, but, after visiting Rouen (where Jeanne dArc was burnt at the stake) and Domremy (her birthplace), these lyrics came to life. The chorus was originally for my wife, but the nature of the song and romantic lyrics didnt really gel. Last year, in Domremy, we came across a very bizarre sight in Joans church a couple dressed in mediaeval clothing (apparently part of a Jean dArc fan-club!) this resulted in the third verse.
Guitars, bass and keys with drum/percussion loops.
The song is fairly up please play it loud for the full wall of sound effect!
Song Lyrics:
Something About Her
2005 Neil Porter
He was sitting drinking coffee
In a caf on a corner
On the ancient footpath leading to the square
He was listening to Dylan
Singing Visions of Johanna
Stirring pictures of a mediaeval fair
Sometimes, he would lie awake at night
He had loved her at first sight
Hed been thinking
One day I would love to make her mine
Thought about her all the time
Hed been drinking
Chorus :
There was something about her eyes
There was something about her smile
He pictured her with long brown hair
Hed loved her from afar
Hed loved her for a while
He couldnt believe that she might care
He drove across the country
To her birthplace in Domremy
Turned left into the parking cross the stream
He followed signs that pointed
To the Visages de Johanne
A modern exposition on the theme
This day hed been wakeful through the night
Hed arrived there at first light
Why I dont know
Something hed been planning for a while
Just to catch a little smile
I dont think so
Chorus :
He was thinking about her eyes
He was thinking about her smile
He was thinking about her long brown hair
Hed loved her from afar
Hed loved her for a while
He couldnt believe that he was there
INSTRUMENTAL - bridge and chorus
At the church he saw her clearly
A realistic apparition
Till she turned and faced him squarely in the aisle
She was dressed in mediaeval
Flowing robes in imitation
On a pilgrimage to visit Maiden Joan
Sometimes, he would lie awake at night
He had loved her at first sight
Hed been thinking
One day I would love to make her mine
Thought about her all the time
Too much drinking
Chorus :
There was something about her eyes
There was something about her smile
There was something about her long brown hair
Hed loved her from afar
Hed loved her for a while
He couldnt believe that she was there
There was something about her eyes
There was something about her smile
There was something about her long brown hair
Hed loved her from afar
Hed loved her for a while
He couldnt believe that she was there
