I Wanna Be A Teenage Boy @Zoe FitzGerald Carter and Hindy Bare I wanna be a teenage boy, play my guitar, be the star of my own reality I wanna be a teenage boy, smoke a bowl, catch a wave ride my skateboard to the rave Shave your legs, keep it smooth, get a suntan, make him feel like he’s a real man Keep your glow -- exfoliation You’re getting fat, what’s your explanation? I wanna be a teenage boy, play my guitar, be the star of my own reality I wanna to be a teenage boy, crank it up, grab my balls bang my head against the wall The secret is Brazilian waxing, don’t you worry, girl, it’s relaxing Oh, don’t let your body go, never let your nipples show I want to be a teenage boy, grab a beer eat some fries, I won’t stop until I die Rule the world, stay on top, rock it hard, never stop Rule the world, stay on top, rock it hard, never stop You’ve got to suffer to be beautiful and by the way, don’t be so emotional You’re confused, it wasn’t him, boys will be boys and then they’re men I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, a teenage boy Don’t be loud, don’t be proud, being big is not allowed Stay small, Barbie doll, mirror, mirror in the mall Get home late at night, don’t admit you’re terrified Just fake it, shake it, get in there and bake it Work hard, get paid, don’t complain it’s a lady wage Listen up, buttercup, you’re a girl now shut the fuck up

about

I began recording the album at the end of 2019 and finished it in the middle of the pandemic in 2020. Happily, most of the music was recorded during the “before times” when musicians came to the studio, played for a few hours, swapped jokes at lunch, and worked the rest of the afternoon. Oh, what a difference a year makes!

The album straddles a range of musical styles. My musical roots are pretty firmly planted in Americana and folk but I’ve come to love the complexity and texture of jazz and Latin music, some of which found its way onto the album. I even ventured into funk on I Wanna Be A Teenage Boy, co-written with San Diego keyboardist, Hindy Bare, during the Kavanaugh hearings. We were both going crazy but at least we got a cool bass line out of it.

Waterlines refers to the act of writing itself, but also evokes the way we look for clues and remnants from the past. Like tracing waterlines on a river bank after a drought or flood.

I hope you enjoy these songs. Xo Zoe
