this is a very new song. only wrote it a couple of days ago. there's a line in a song by an americana group called son volt about saint genevieve. i don't know who she is but she sounds good to me. i couldn't steal her, so my song is 'paint genevieve'. the song is loosely based on the life (so far) of scottish painter jack vettriano who, incidentally, did paint someone called genevieve. much of jack's life resonates with me. anyway, i just wanted to get back to some straight acoustic guitar playing and tell a story, so i wrote this.
paint genevieve
