After she began writing her own songs as a teenager in New Zealand, Blackmore moved to London with a self-produced demo album at the age of 19 and scored a publishing deal with Sony/ATV. Aguilera then recruited the songwriter to Los Angeles and asked to record her ballad "Sing For Me" for her own album, "Lotus." After impressing Tricky Stewart and writing the song "By The Rules" with Lambert while in L.A., Blackmore began showcasing on her own, and was eventually called by Epic Records Chairman & CEO Antonio "L.A." Reid in November 2011.
In January 2013, she announced that her debut single, "Bones", would be released in the coming months. It was accompanied by two songs - "Hello World" and her version of "Sing For Me" (titled "SFM" on the EP) - and peaked at #1 in her home country of New Zealand.
Ginny is set to release her debut album later this year.
Hello World
Ginny Blackmore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't be doin' this
Can't be doin' that
All I wanna do is lay back
Can't be sittin' on a leather plaid sofa
Brushin' up my loafers, tryin'a make tracks
The girl outside my window
Bet you got a greater story
Than the one that's on hbo
Can't be doin' that
Can't be doin' this
All I wanna do is swim with the fish
Can't be layin' on a leather plaid futon
Lookin' at my loubitons, actin' like a b*tch
All I wanna do is hear the sea
Hear it come crashing over me
Bet it's got a greater story
Than the one that's on the bbc
Hello, hello, hello, world (world)
You're mine and I am yours
Everywhere I go
You are so beautiful
Hello, hello, hello, world (world)
And all of your people
Everywhere I go
You are so beautiful
H-e-l-l-o to the world
You are be-a-u-tiful [x2]
Tell me who you are
Tell me what's your name
Tell me 'bout the place from which you came
I can see it in your eyes
You're a beauty
And it is my duty
To pick your brain
Come and lay under the stars with me
Let your eyes go crazy
Put your hands deep in the green grass
Forget about your sad tv
Lift your head up, head up to the sky
Tell me that is not the prettiest sight
Tell me you can find a greater painting
Than the one that surrounds us daily
(oh, oh, oh) you and me
(oh, oh, oh) the sky and sea
Every mountain, every stream
Baby, thats my ecstasy.
Hello, hello, hello, world (world)
You're mine and I am yours
Everywhere I go
You are so beautiful
Hello, hello, hello, world (world)
And all of your people
Everywhere I go
You are so beautiful
H-e-l-l-o to the world
You are be-a-u-tiful [x3]
You are be-a-u-tiful [x2]
Hello, hello, hello, world (world)
You're mine and I am yours
Everywhere I go
You are so beautiful
Hello, hello, hello, world (world)
And all of your people
Everywhere I go
You are so beautiful
H-e-l-l-o to the world
You are be-a-u-tiful
H-e-l-l-o to the world
(hello, hello, hello, world, world)
You are so beautiful
H-e-l-l-o to the world
You are be-a-u-tiful
H-e-l-l-o to the world
(hello, hello, hello, world, world)
You are so beautiful
You are so beautiful!
