When not playing and writing, they were raiding their father’s album collections for inspiration and direction. With the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Crowded House and Simon and Garfunkel they were in good stead for the future. Also drawing from contemporary artists such as Fleet Foxes, Angus Stone & Bon Iver they have developed a great, fresh sound.
The boys met in the early years of high school and quickly became musical companions, ready to take on the world with their melodic songs and subtle harmonies. Georgia Fair’s lineup is completed by Paul on bass & Ben’s brother Nick on drums.
Baby Blues
Georgia Fair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out of the palm of your hand
Counting out all the ways,
I could be your better man
When it all boils down,
I'll be left cancelling plans
When it all boils down
if he can still make you cry
That is all,
All of your love in my eyes
Can you see,
You're falling away from me
Can you see,
You're falling away from me
Walking out by your house,
I should know better by now
Wasting my better days,
Trying to figure you out
As it starts crashing down,
I'll be left clinging to doubt
As it starts crashing down
But oh,
If he can still make you cry
That is all,
All of your love in my eyes
Can you see,
You're falling away from me
Can you see,
You're falling away from me
Oooh
Now we'll follow you down,
And bottle it up,
And sink like a stone
Oooh
Can you see,
You're falling away from me
Can you see,
You're falling away from me
Can you see,
You're falling away from me
Can you see,
You're falling away from me

Line by Line Meaning
Picking my baby blues,
Reflecting on my emotional distress and sadness.
Out of the palm of your hand
As if it's your fault and responsibility to fix.
Counting out all the ways,
Searching for solutions or reasons why I feel this way.
I could be your better man
Thinking of ways to improve and be a more suitable partner.
When it all boils down,
Ultimately, I'll end up cancelling plans and feeling dissatisfied.
But oh,
However,
if he can still make you cry
If your current partner still has an emotional hold on you,
That is all,
Then all of your love is still directed towards him in my eyes.
Can you see,
Do you understand,
You're falling away from me
That you're pulling away from me emotionally and mentally.
Walking out by your house,
Going near your place,
I should know better by now
Realizing that it's not healthy or productive to fixate on you.
Wasting my better days,
Spending my time and energy on trying to make things work with you.
Trying to figure you out
Attempting to understand and solve the issues in our relationship.
As it starts crashing down,
As our relationship begins to fall apart,
I'll be left clinging to doubt
I'll be filled with uncertainty and hesitation about the future.
Now we'll follow you down,
We'll go along with you,
And bottle it up,
And suppress our emotions and feelings.
And sink like a stone
And fall into depression or despair.
Can you see,
Do you comprehend,
You're falling away from me
You're becoming more distant and disconnected from me.
