She started off in L.A., moved to France at the age of ten, spent a few years in Belgium and then scurried on back to California to pursue an education in art and French literature.
She makes music as often as possible, to keep herself sane and happy. She dabbles around with piano, guitar and bass (her favorite instrument), but does not consider herself an expert at any of them. Mostly she enjoys singing and inventing odd harmonies.
She entered the YouTube music movement thanks to her boyfriend, Jack Conte, and together they have started a collaboration called Pomplamoose. Their music can be heard at either their official Myspace or official YouTube. Nataly is still in denial about wanting to be a full-time musician, but deep down inside she knows that there is nothing that makes her happier than making art and sharing it with lovely listeners such as yourself.
In addition to her music being available in CD form, songs can be downloaded from her official Myspace myspace.com/natalydawn and videos (and occasionally Vlogs) can be found on her official YouTube page youtube.com/NatalyDawn.
Caroline
Nataly Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Til you met your old beau
And he left you unwed
And they christened you the black sheep
To keep the world from knowing
What the rest of 'em did
Ooh Caroline, you're not a beauty queen
Who shall remain unnamed
But personally, I'd say you've got 'em all beat
'Cause you're the only one sweet
Enough to live in shame
'Cause they see somethin' tarnished, somethin' borrowed, somethin' used
Well their imagery's outdated, yeah they're just a tad confused
'Cause they pushed you off a burning train and blamed the fall on you
But you look just the same to me
Yeah, I don't see what they see
Ooh oh oh oh... Caroline Ca-Ca-Caroline
La da da da... I just don't see what they see
Yeah, you look just the same to me
Ooh Caroline, it brings me chagrin
To see the look on your face
That you believe what they say
'Cause we all recall love at seventeen
If they call that obscene
They know not what they say
'Cause they're quotin' somethin' ancient, somethin' biased, somethin' cruel
And I'm sure they mean to help you, but be wary of the wolves
'Cause you're only in the pack 'til you start questioning the rules
And you don't look like them to me
Yeah, I don't see what they see
Ooh oh oh oh... I just don't see what they see
So please don't change a thing Caroline
The lyrics to Nataly Dawn's song Caroline describe the story of a woman who is judged and shamed by society for her past choices and actions. Caroline used to be considered "clean" until she met her old beau, who left her unmarried and with a bad reputation. Caroline's family and the rest of society have labeled her as the black sheep, as a way to hide their own secrets and misdeeds. Despite not being conventionally beautiful like her siblings, Caroline is the only one who is sweet enough to live in shame. The lyrics suggest that Caroline is being unfairly judged and that the rest of society is confused about the way they view her.
The song encourages Caroline to not change anything about herself, as there is nothing inherently wrong with her. The last verse talks about how Caroline believes what others are saying about her and that society is only quoting something ancient, biased, and cruel. The lyrics suggest that society is not always right in their assumptions and judgments and that Caroline should not let them tear her down.
Overall, the lyrics to Caroline promote empathy towards those who have been unfairly judged and remind listeners that there is no shame in being true to oneself, despite what others may say or think.
Line by Line Meaning
Ooh Caroline, you used to be clean
Caroline, you were seen as pure and innocent before
'Til you met your old beau
Until you met your previous lover
And he left you unwed
And he abandoned you without getting married
And they christened you the black sheep
And they labeled you as the outcast
To keep the world from knowing
To keep the world from knowing what the rest of the family did
What the rest of 'em did
What the other family members did
Ooh Caroline, you're not a beauty queen
Caroline, you are not seen as the most attractive sister
Unlike some other siblings
Unlike some of your sisters
Who shall remain unnamed
Their identities will not be revealed
But personally, I'd say you've got 'em all beat
But in my opinion, you are the best of them all
'Cause you're the only one sweet
Because you are the only one who is kind
Enough to live in shame
Good enough to endure shame and blame
'Cause they see somethin' tarnished, somethin' borrowed, somethin' used
They see something that is damaged, temporary, and has been shared
Well their imagery's outdated, yeah they're just a tad confused
Their perspective is outdated and they are a little confused
'Cause they pushed you off a burning train and blamed the fall on you
Because they blamed you for the misfortunes they caused you
But you look just the same to me
But you look just the same as always to me
Yeah, I don't see what they see
I do not see what they see in you
Ooh Caroline Ca-Ca-Caroline
Oh Caroline, Caroline
La da da da... I just don't see what they see
I don't see what they see
Yeah, you look just the same to me
You look the same as always to me
Ooh Caroline, it brings me chagrin
It saddens me, Caroline
To see the look on your face
To see the expression on your face
That you believe what they say
That you believe what they are saying
'Cause we all recall love at seventeen
Because we all remember our love when we were seventeen
If they call that obscene
If they consider that obscene
They know not what they say
They do not know what they are talking about
'Cause they're quotin' somethin' ancient, somethin' biased, somethin' cruel
Because they are quoting something that is outdated, unfair, and cruel
And I'm sure they mean to help you, but be wary of the wolves
And I am sure they intend to help you, but be cautious of those who may harm you
'Cause you're only in the pack 'til you start questioning the rules
Because you are only part of the group until you begin questioning the rules
And you don't look like them to me
And to me, you do not look like they do
Yeah, I don't see what they see
I do not see what they see in you
Ooh oh oh oh... I just don't see what they see
I don't see what they are seeing
So please don't change a thing Caroline
So please do not change anything, Caroline
