ONE MORE THING...

I couldn't resist sharing a few more stories about the album with you...

Just when you thought the Interactive Experience was over - I've got more exclusive content to share with you!

This track isn't merely notes and rhythms; it's a sonorous embodiment of the emotions that surface as a season draws to a close. So, as you listen to "Girl of My Dreams" allow its melodies to serenade you into the summer twilight, reminding us that even in farewells, there's a resonance that lingers, promising the dawn of new beginnings and summers yet to be...

THE SINGLES THAT SHAPED THE ALBUM

Geoff II in 60 seconds - here's the story behind the three singles that shaped GEOFF II - 'Mondays', 'Cinema' and 'Boyfriend'

THE BONUS FEATURES

MONDAYS

When you left
So the story goes
They say no one knows
Why you made that call

Until then
It was you and me
What a pair we’d be
I could see it all

And I’ve tried so hard with others, when I’m with them I see you
When I think I’m on to something good It lasts a day or two

Mondays are for pretty girls and driving in my car
Tuesdays are for breaking down and wondering where you are
And the rest of the week is a blur as I try to forget
The lady that I’m just not over yet

Even now
In this perfect place
You’re another face
That I can’t forget

Trust me, babe
How I look around
And I’ve still not found
Noone like you yet

Forgive me cause I know it’s wrong but I still look you up.
I think about your little life and pray that we make up
But ‘til then

CHORUS

Not over yet…

When we’re old
And our kids have grown
When you’re all alone
Will you think of me?

If I go
Would you feel the same?
Would you keep the flame
That is meant to be?
THE VOICE MEMOS

I love using my Voice Memos to make quick sketches of my songs as I write them! It's a great way of getting ideas down so you can come back to them later and flesh them out - here are the extremely rough beginnings of 'Mondays' and 'Boyfriend'.
THE ORIGINAL 'CINEMA'

'Cinema' was also on 'Here, of All Places' - an album made with my band The Usual Ones. It was originally called 'Green' and was performed by the wonderful Sam Julian.
CINEMA

I know that I’ve missed my chance
And you’re doing so much better now he’s with you

But I let my imagination run away
And think of all the little things we’d do

Cover my eyes, cos I don’t wanna see
You with another man - a man that isn’t me.

I could take you to a cinema
Show you things that you’ve never ever seen before
We could just stay in if you’d prefer
Grab some drinks and get to know each other more
Just leave your boyfriend at the door

You know, I feel sorry for him
He’s left our while we have all the fun

He’ll feel nothing but jealousy
When you tell him, ‘bout all the things we’ve done

Put on that dress, I’ll pick you up at eight
We’ve tickets for a show, we don’t wanna be…late.

I could take you to a cinema
Show you things that you’ve never ever seen before
We could just stay in if you’d prefer
Have some drinks and get to know each other more

But I know it’s all pretend
And to your man you’ll go
I’ll keep these thoughts all to myself
With things you’ll never know.

He can take you to a cinema
Show you things that you’ve never ever seen before
And he’s the one that you prefer
So I won’t be taking you out anymore
But I can still pretend...

Let me take you to a cinema
Show you things that you’ve never ever seen before
We could just stay in if you’d prefer
Grab some drinks and get to know each other more
Just leave your boyfriend at the door
Won’t you leave him at the door?

Cover my eyes, cos I don’t wanna see
You with another man - a man that isn’t me.

BOYFRIEND

Everywhere I go, I take you with me

Picture this, she reads
She doesn’t suffer fools
She never takes no for an answer
And when she’s out,
She’s always turning heads
As a million guys try to romance her

And if you’d paint the perfect girl
With looks beyond compare
With a touch of her magic
If the picture came to life
You’d see her standing there

Picture this, he’s smart
He doesn’t have a clue
You’d miss him taking cursory glances
To her, they say, he surely don’t exist
But it won’t stop him taking his chances

They say ‘it’s impossible’
But he’s gonna catch her eye
He’ll pluck up the courage
Sweep her off her feet
While others pass her by

He says…

If you’d like a total chance of scenery
You could take a chance
And run away with me
And if you’ve got no plans this weekend
I think I know a guy who’d like to be your boyfriend

Picture this, he waits
A twinkle in his eye
By the bar on the corner of Main Street
They said a time, of course she’s running late
But she can’t wait to spend it with him

Oh and how the hours pass by
The conversation flows
It shows, when you let it,
With the right pair of hearts
That love just grows and grows

She said

If you’d like a total chance of scenery
You could take a chance
And run away with me
And if you’ve got no plans this weekend
I think I know a gal who’d like to be your girlfriend

You should know
Before we hit the road
To the thousands of places we could be
High or low
It don’t matter where we go
Just as long as I can take you with me

Won’t you be my girlfriend?
And I can be your boyfriend…
