about
A romantic earworm laced with melodic guitar lines and sweet vocal harmonies, ‘Romeo’ has an alt-country and folk feel; giving a tasteful nod to 1950’s doo-wop with its 6/8 feel and chorus of male backup singers supporting Amiria’s blissful voice.
‘Romeo’ was recorded and mixed by Ryan Fisherman at The Hut in Christchurch, and mastered by Mike Gibson in Wellington. "The song features a playful four-part rhythm section that consists of Chris Wethey on bass, Ryan Fisherman on drums, Simon Gregory on guitar and Tom Harris on keys."
Thank you to NZ on air.
lyrics
Someday you’ll be there
Someone who will care
We’ll ride the bus together
You’ll take me to the pictures
Where you hiding out?
What are you about?
Oh Romeo, I’ll be here waiting for ya
Take me by the hand, tell me you’re my man
Oh Romeo, I’ll be here singing to ya,
Hurry now, hurry now my patience is tired
Hurry now, hurry now my patience has expired
And so I wait here
Seasons pass then disappear
I’m making room for someone
A place that they can call home
Tell me, is it you?
To be mine through and through
Oh Romeo, I’ll be here waiting for ya
Take me by the hand, tell me you’re my man
Oh Romeo, I’ll be here singing to ya,
Hurry now, hurry now my patience is tired
Hurry now, hurry now my patience has expired
Until that day, I’ll wish and pray
And make my way to you
Oh Romeo, I’ll be here waiting for ya
Take me by the hand, tell me you’re my man
Oh Romeo, I’ll be here singing to ya,
Hurry now, hurry now my patience is tired
Hurry now, hurry now my patience has expired
