KATIE NOONAN/Special Ones

wow this is a really fresh jazzy Katie Noonan Version - I like the George version too though.



Isn't it funny how you never really screamed at my face,
but your anger so unspoken and unchannelled permeates
my essence to the point where
I Don't want to see you hear you,
be anywhere near you,
you probably think I'm threatened by you
but your illusionary power doesn't threaten me
Actually I think it's kind of funny that you create
an illusion that is a mirror,
I don't appreciate you and I know that that surprises you
I suppose you see that those who follow their heart always win,
those with integrity have won the match before it's begun

So rather than being kicked around,
I'm going to kick you to the curb
So rather than being pushed around,
I'm going to push you away first
So rather than trying to protect you,
I'm going to cover my basses first
So rather than trying to open my heart,
I'm going to lock it with a key
So that only the special ones,
so that only the special ones,
can ever get through to me

Some can see beyond the barrier of threshold
whereas others can't see beyond their sculptured mould,
you could offer me nothing,
you could offer me nothing that I need
Do you think I'm asking too much?
A kind of respect and trust that shouldn't even be questioned,
how can I open my heart with dishonesty sitting next to me?
I've honoured your honour to the point of embarrassment,
but innocence in the hands of the guilt-free is kicked to,
is kicked to the curb I was ashamed of my innocence,
I was ashamed of my innocence but now with clarity I see
that your bullshit is just not worthy of me

I don't want to be angry....
This is not worthy of me and now with clarity
I see that I can walk away, I can walk away

George: Still Real

Managed to catch an awesome GEORGE live from the Opera House feature on MAX? pay tv music channel at the gym...hopefully someone recorded it and can post it on youtube...

George are an Aussie band(from Brisbane) with the angelic voice of Katie Noonan...for more visit here. This song "Still Real" is from their 2004 album UNITY.

Gosh I long for retirement where I can have a house like that "among the gum trees with a verandah out the back and verandah out the front" and who can forget the "old rocking chair!" - too bad if you don't know that song LOL...gosh I miss clean air, wide open space!! That's why I love regional Australia!

Showcasing Aussie Music: GEORGE

I must admit, since I got super busy I almost considered packing in this blog, but I still like it even if noone else does :-P

If just one person discovers some new music they like cos of it then it was worth posting...

Anyway this is George, a band from Brisbane which has Katie Noonan who has a wonderfully angelic set of vocal chords. Anyway you can check out soundbytes on their myspace page here. (I recommend listening to Special Ones and Bastard Son.) If you really like her voice she recently went solo and has her own myspace page here.
