Title: 'A Different Place' - Original by Greeny
Post by: Greeny on September 20, 2009, 12:09:40 PM
I've been away about 3 weeks, but it feels like months. I lost myself in my music - not all of it good or listenable I'm afraid. But I finished a 14-track album last night, and it made me feel better about myself and my state of mind. This is one of them. All done on the BR (about 7 tracks I think). It's me on acoustic guitar, telecaster, vocals and synth strings, and Flash Harry with a magnificent bit of bass (could be your best yet, Mike!).

I'll catch up on as much listening as possible, but please be patient. Damn this place moves fast!

I was luck enough to hear this a while ago, it grabbed me at the outset. I think that its a classic bit of Green. It's lovely Tim, a real winner.

Really good stuff Greeny. The synth is subtle, good quality and is great padding.

A classic Greeny song here.  Happy strummy sing-a-long feel but with uneasy tense lyrics.  Really nice guitar solo near the end.  Its a grower.  Its a IPoder for sure.

Yes! Right on with this one! The vocals are nestled in there perfectly. Whatever you did there was perfect. The subtle solo was very cool. I liked the whole song and it was produced beautifully - The vox were freakin' pro and my favorite, though!!

Great to hear a little something from you. Hope things are getting a little better...

Wonderful.

The keyboard is lurktastic and gives it a psychedelic edge.  Is that a mellotron sound?

The Bass Caucus of the forum wants Flash louder than everything else.

Kind of reminds me of a song by The Comas.  Ever heard of them?

This is radio worthy for sure. brilliant song Tim!! I love the wavy guitar effects, as well as the clean acoustic effects, they really compliment each other. The lyrics, your vocals shit man... it's all good! I'd have to say this is one of my favorites by you.

The song is officially stuck in my head, I'll be singing it all day.

thanks for sharing,

erik

Just starting to catch up on all the Greeny postings I have missed, this is another belter. I particularly like the strings on this one, very clever arrangement that add to the melancholoy feel. Production is fantastic as well, glad to see your mojo is still with you in these trying times.

Cheers,

Nigel
