'Desert Flower' - Greeny Monday Original

[Greeny]

Features my Tanglewood acoustic, bass and vocals, plus Garageband electric piano, organ and drums.

Three chords - D, G and A (been going through a phase recently of trying to use hardly any chords).

It came out sounding (to me) a bit like a Neil Diamond song. And I've always wanted to do that early sixties drum intro on a track.

All recorded on the MBR.

Although, here's just three chords, you made magic out of them! The vocal melodies are just fantastic!! Garage band additions puts a good flavor to this! Sweet Greeny monday!

ps. I took my guitar and played along a bit

Hey Greeny you made good use of those three chords! The melody and harmonies gives this a cool, early 60's, folk vibe to my ears...well done!

bloody magic lots going on for just three chords, i'd never have known.

as an aside, on your last visit "oop north" i think i introduced you to "robyn hitchcock" he has a desire to use as few chords as posibble and will often strum one chord continuously for inspiration. he claims to have written a few "one chorders".

anyway monday is not the same without some greens.

[Super 8]

Yep, it's got that '60s 'Diamond' vibe in spades. Top writing amigo. Three chords and 'the truth' (or a bag of lies!) that's all you need! PS: Purely going from that drum intro I thought it was going to be a cover version of 'Just Like Honey' by J&MC. I've not heard that for years. Had it on 12" vinyl 'back in the day'. It's a cool song.
