Title: 'The Salt of the Earth' - Greeny Original
Post by: Greeny on June 13, 2011, 04:56:32 AM
It's Monday, so here's a new one  :D

Written and perfomed by me on the MBR. This one has acoustic guitar, telecaster, bass and vocals. Had to squish it to 160kbps to fit.

Cheers guys.

All-around wonderful, so much to like about this one ... the "salt of the earth and that's me" hook is echoing around in my brain now. Started out reminding me of early Stones ballads like "As Tears Go By" and then turned into majestic, somewhat trippy folk-rock. Very, very nice.

It doesn't get much better that this !!

Fabulous tune, love the "kept back" arrangement ... like it's about to ascend, but just glides forward two feet over the ocean in a perfect harmony.

Just stunning !!!

Wow, great work Tim. Love that little guitar hook on the right, it really draws you in. The lyrics are brilliant, I love the opening line and the lyrical images. The lush chords, bass and backing vox build a lovely comfy pillow for the lyrics, the backing vox in the middle part are fabulopus.

Wonderful, just wonderful. You just gave me a great reason to try to carve out more time to spend here (been tough recently).

Cheers,

Nigel

This is a really beautiful song.
Very relaxing intro that sets the tone followed by a beautiful buildup.

This is utterly superb!!!!

If so, that is awesome! Very very tasteful!!

If not... Still awesome!!!!

A this demands a video!!!

One of my favorites from you, Greeny. Seriously. Well arranged, well written, and performed to your usually high standard. Is there a 'like' button on here somewhere?

Post by: Tangled Wires on June 18, 2011, 03:42:14 AM
Wow, this is what it's all about...wonderful melodies and full of hooks. Loving that chiming guitar that kicks in at the start and continues in the verses when the bass and drums kick in. I really like the variations that occur throughout, it really grabs your attention and keeps you interested throughout

Majestic song Greeny.

Man oh man! This is just spine tingling. You drew me in and gave me the goosebumps. I love that feeling.

This is better than ANY of the shit on the radio. I thought Sister Sinister was my fave but this is even better.

Awesome singing, guitars and bass. The whole package!  Pleasure to know your music Tim.
