Title: October (maxit & greeny)
Post by: maxit on October 31, 2023, 01:03:37 AM
Just in time for Halloween, another acoustic guitar song from max & greeny


October

 

Summer buried under leaves

The sky a looking glass of trees

Hibernating from the sun

Halloween for everyone

 

Pour myself another wine

The blood of saints and so divine

Getting dark so early now

Swallowing this tinsel town

 

October – you know her

She's always changing

And rearranging

Her skies and eyes

Elusive as mist

Her light... her rainy kiss

 

Remember when we used to smoke

On the fire escape and share a joke

But now the nights are closing in

And the geese are flying south again

 

So I'll pour myself another wine

The blood of saints and so divine

Another chapter after all

Closes in this urban sprawl

 

October – you know her

She's always changing

And rearranging

Her skies and eyes

Elusive as mist

Her light... her rainy kiss

 

And who broke your light?

Who brought the night?

The thief of your smile

Has nowhere to hide

Now Winter takes us

She makes us bow down to the queen

So icy and mean

With her skeletal trees

 

Now Winter takes us

She makes us bow down to the queen

So icy and mean

With her skeletal trees

And a crown so white and frozen

 

Pour myself another wine

The blood of saints and so divine

Getting dark so early now

Swallowing this tinsel town

I am with Geir, this is fabulous!

those guitars are so wonderful... I love that strumming style... it is really grand!  The guitar work alone on this is worth the listen... then the vocals over the top are so good.  super work Tim...

this is a wonderful listen... very hi level stuff.  also lovely keyboard to go with it

This is so creative Maxit and Tim! The strumming, the chords, the changes, the muted guitar picking in the background, and the vocals/lyric all make this a top shelf listen...nicely done guys!

The choppy acoustic guitar playing, that famous Greeny voice. Yes, this is sublime.

Could this be perhaps the prettiest song written about October?

"the blood of the saints and so divine" is worth coming back to hear all alone...

Beautiful autumn song - such variety in the guitar dynamics and the lyrics remind me why October is at least a close runner-up for the cruelest month. But now I'm missing October already...

Well done, gentlemen!

Beautiful and descriptive of one of my favorite months.  The song itself sounds October.
