Me doing my thing with a MiM Strat (the main riff needed some real low-end twang), Ibanez bass, and GB drums. No keys, and my Danelectro billionnaire trem pedal on quite a fast wobble for the main guitar part. All recorded and mixed on the MBR. I recorded this a while back but it's become a personal fave for some reason. It was a sleeper album track for a long time.
The red kite reference is about birds of prey that have taken over certain parts of the UK (especially in Bruno's neck of the woods). They are bloody huge and flock like seagulls.
Wicked job on those guitars here Tim. The main riff kinda reminds me of a Guided By Voices song with razor sharp words to go along with it. The solo is great too, awesome bluesy licks! Excellent song
excellent production on this, sounds so loud and rocking, the guitars ring through the mix real well with a great sound and groove, vocals are class, liked the dark poetic lyrics, its a cool rock song with a good rhythm and style througout. wish was longer
Cool song, Tim. Some fantastic lyrical lines in there and that guitar work sounds great. As always excellent vocals and stellar production.
lovely guitars and a great bass line holding it up. all in all a cracker !

Power and control, with grit to taste. Nice one, Tim
Great song. The mix has real punch yet clarity. I can see why this is a personal favourite.
Red kite numbers appear pretty high in my neck of the woods too. The local crow and magpie residents don't appear too keen. The crows in particular like to harry them away. It's a bit like a battle of Britain dogfight on occasion.
This is excellent ,its got a 60s vibe to it.
Love the guitar effects ,great solo.
Lyrics are top notch as we'll topped of with a crystal clear vocal.
Nice one.
You are proof-positive that you don't need anything beyond an MBR to record stellar music. The tremolo was a great choice. Perfect solo for this tune, and I always love your bass playing.

it is always a pleasure to listen Greeny's work. great listen.
Tolga
it may take me days to get to the lyrics in this beauty of a tune! My gosh, I am absolutely lost in those guitar riffs and sounds... and just that damn great Greeny way of doin it.
I don't know what you do but you should do it great.
then that lead comes in... man I am slain... absolutely crushed... not even the Tragically Hip could rock like this and still make it sound like the corner nun will adore it... righteous man... this is righteous..
see you know what you are doing... wow.
That little guitar solo in between is a gem! Wonderful song (wonderful as usual, if I understand your doubts lol)
Great Rocker! Dig the melodies over the power backing. Great contrast but blends perfectly! Great listen! 8)
Greeny Monday... but only getting to this now... but very glad I did. This just sets off like a train and keeps going. Love the wobbly effect on the guitar and yes you can't beat a strat for that great low end twang... nothing like it :) Super stuff... downloading for my SC collection... thank you

A crazy contrast between the joyful music and the sense in the lyrics of confinement and irresistible malevolent infusion. The song begins with warning: Do not be deceived by the catchy cheerful music: Memento mori... Memento Morrison.
As others have said: The vibrato! The bass! The solo! The production!
Perhaps the contrast between the music is not ironic, but serves a purpose. Your inner struggle – the demons in your head, the relentless attack from nature – is finite and futile. Embrace it.
Just loving the the vocal, but the guitar with the tremolo is killer, loved the listen!
