Happy Monday one and all.

I've always liked the sound of an electric piano when it's used well. I was aiming for something a bit like the intro / verse for 'Goodbye Stranger' by Supertramp crossed with 'I'm not in Love' by 10CC, but it turned out like this, lol. Not surprising really, as I'm not a keyboard player  :D

So... electric piano, jangly Danelectro, bass, vox & synth strings on the MBR. I added a touch of phaser in Audacity at the end.

Chorus lyrics:

What a carve up
what a liberty
we're shut in cages
when we should be free
out looking for some love and hope
and maybe if we nuture them they'll grow
into something
into anything

Happy monday indeed !

WOW ! this is a fab song Tim. Very nice arrangement with the piano and strings! And the way you weave the melody into the lovely chord-sequences is really amazing.

A great vocal performance makes this a new hit in my corner of the world !!!

I like the really nice mix of sounds.  The synth parts add a lot of richness... bass and guitars keep it edgy.  A very creative production, well arranged and played!  Always a fun first listen with a new Greeny song to find out where you're going next.

These days I merely dabble at being old and wise.
But I swear, I used to absolutely excel at being young and stupid.

This is massive!

The vocal is the seller for me on this one.

This track shimmers like a stream!

Now this is a real treat - a bit different than many of your songs, and yet with those same strong elements that always bring them together so well. I dig the electric piano, the synth strings, the bass, the electric guitar - the lot - and your vocals are the cherry on top!
