Silly Girls - The Petersens (LIVE) - A Julianne Original

Julianne wrote "Silly Girls" with her friend while living in a house of 20 girls in Oxford, UK. You all loved this song from her new album, Beatrice, so we learned it as a band! Julz did such a great job and it was fun to try and figure out how to translate it to fit "The Petersens".

►LYRICS - Silly Girls
Waiting a while, it's dark at the bus stop
Linking arms through strangers and streets
I won't demand your unanswered questions
All of your silence makes sense to me
I'll give you my coat, my cash and my chapstick*
I'll write you a note with nothing to say
Secrets we share, braiding your hair
Saying goodnight at the end of the day
I understand you'll make new plans
But for now, we have each other
When love comes to take your breath
I'll store mine in a jar
To give to you, grow pink with you
Together or apart
Making you tea with two creams and sugar
Hanging your drawings up on the fridge
Seeing your beauty and mine right beside it
Isn't it funny, I'm glad you exist
I understand you'll make new plans
But for now, we have each other
When love comes to take your breath
I'll store mine in a jar
To give to you, or grow pink with you
Together or apart
* ChapStick = lip balm, again, other brands are available

This perfectly describes my college friendships from 15 years ago. We grew, changed, moved around the world, and started families, but the lessons I learned in those friendships have helped me in marriage and in new friendships today. Perfectly relatable, Julianne!

I just shared this with one of my very best longtime Forever Friends. She loved it with the comment on the talent of the Band with, "They have this strange calming effect on me." Yes. Thank you Petersen Band

This is the second time I've heard this song, and it's such a wonderful, quiet and upbeat ode to friendship and sisterhood. I'm so glad the full band has added it to the repertoire. And congratulations to Julianne for such a cool greening of your songwriting talent. May there be tons more songs!

[@67icebowl]

An absolutely lovely song. The usual wonderful harmonies.

Loved it! Lovely vocals Julianne and Katie, just wonderful…. And as always the painting becomes a masterpiece when the paintbrush that is Emmett’s resonator touches the canvas. Looking forward to seeing you all again in December!

[@Roberto-pd8vn]

When I first heard "Beatrice" I immediately thought that this song was the most suitable to be played with the whole band. But I hope there will be more. This "friendship waltz" is really something unique and very sweet to listen to in all the musical production of the last period. All three versions I've heard so far do full justice to the beauty of the words. Including this bluegrass version that accompanies Julianne and Katie's vocals perfectly. I have always thought that you are all great songwriters and this is the confirmation! Thank you!!! 🙏🏼❤

[@emmajo4880]

Wonderful, accurate comment, Roberto!

[@Roberto-pd8vn]

@@emmajo4880 Thanks Emma! I just read your comment and I absolutely loved it. My comments tend to be a bit "technical" at times, but yours has fully captured the poetry of this song. I hope Julianne reads and enjoys it!

[@donovang6911]

The phrasing for the lyrics is nothing short of professional - well done!

[@emmajo4880]

Oh this is precious! I admire how you and your friend, Katie, captured the essences of real girl friendships in such sweet words and wrote the perfect tune to accent them! I feel like the stringed version of this song is more youthful. As I listen, I picture two innocent little girls waltzing together carelessly through a meadow then rolling down the hill in giggles to fall in a pile at the bottom, where they take a look at one another and, for the first time, recognize the blessing they are looking at. The piano version has a little bit more of a reflective undertone to it… it feels more like two young women, who have grown up together, are taking a moment to dwell on how much their lives have changed and how they have stood strong in their friendship to this point, and are ready and thankful to be able to do the same in the coming stage of life. Both versions of “Silly Girls” are good for different times of life, and I am so happy the band covered it for that reason! It is a wonderful song, Julianne, and thank you for sharing it with the world! Good bless! ❤😊

[@FrankvdMuijsenberg]

Great comment again, Emma. With your imagination you should try writing a song yourself.😉 (maybe you already have). But yes, it's funny how the same words can be felt differently when the arrangement/instruments change.

wederom dank voor de nederlandse vertaling. even een mooie ervaring delen van gisteravond, kwam al vrij laat aan bij het zonnehuis, lichtelijk gestressed door het haasten, maar toen bleek ik mijn e- ticket niet op mijn telefoon gezet te hebben, kwam dus bij de ingang en daar stond jon petersen en ik gaf hem een hand en zei meteen in het engels, ik hoop dat ik binnen kom want ik heb mijn e-ticket vergeten op mijn telefoon te zetten, jon zei meteen, dont worry, no problem, com on in, i trust you. ik was er stil van, zo lief ! dit bewijst (nogmaals) voor mij hoe integer deze familie is. ze krijgen een flinke donatie van mij. ik heb genoten gisteravond van het concert in amsterdam, jij ook ? ik heb werkelijk niet 1 foutje kunnen ontdekken in het hele concert, ze spelen/zingen werkelijk superstrak, bakken met professionaliteit en liefde deze familie ! groetjes ben.

[@FrankvdMuijsenberg]
