about

“Genuine Love” has existed in voice memo format for years. The original idea for it was sent via text by Galis’ long time friend and collaborator Adam Cook. He sent it saying, “I feel like this could work really well for a Gen Leath song.”

And then it sat for years as an .mp4 file buried among the dozens and dozens of demos and half-baked voice memos on Galis’ iTunes library.

When putting together songs for Genuine Pleasure EP, Galis dug up Adam’s original demo and mapped out some lo-fi Casio drums along to it: and things started to click.

lyrics

I know what you’re gonna say
She like the only thing I ever talk about
Try to find the right phrase
But just like everything's a curious sound
I know she talks a big game
Said she don’t know how it feels to be
I know when a things right, yeah
She’s like the only one I ever want around
Tell me is it real?
Cause you’re like the only one I ever wanna know
Tell me what to feel
My one regret
The only one I ever let… go
Genuine Love

Baby talk a big game
That she don’t belong to anyone now
Play my cards the right way
Maybe I can break the barriers down
But later on in the night
I was still watching from
the outside
I didn’t really wanna say, but
She’s like the only one I ever want around

Tell me is it real?
How can you really tell, only one I ever let go
Tell me what to feel
You’re not that innocent
Picking ones who only come back
Genuine Love

You’re not so innocent
You’re not so innocent, the
You’re not so innocent the only
You’re not so innocent the only thing that’s genuine now
