'Dreaming Through a Lifetime' - Greeny Monday

[Greeny]

Nothing experimental with this one. Just what I like doing by default 

12 string HB electric, Les Paul Gold Top, new Ibanez bass (recorded within 15 mins of getting it out the box and adjusting the truss rod), Garageband piano, drums and synths. All recorded on the MBR.

don't analyse these words
they're just some humming birds
who dazzle for a moment
they aren't profound or deep
they're just shepherds counting sheep
in a rainy Sussex meadow

so come on round to mine
where the dust-mote butterflies
are dreaming through a lifetime
you know that it's all in your mind
be partners in this crime
of dreaming through a lifetime

it's raining on the swings and the roundabouts
a mannequin from a discount store in an evening gown

i'm no-ones property
just a castaway at sea
with a message in a bottle
i throw it in the waves
but it comes straight back again
it's either fate or physics

so come on round to mine
where the dust-mote butterflies
are dreaming through a lifetime
you know that it's all in your mind
be partners in this crime
of dreaming through a lifetime

it's raining on the swings and the roundabouts
a mannequin from a discount store in an evening gown

so come on round to mine
where the dust-mote butterflies
are dreaming through a lifetime
you know that it's all in your mind
be partners in this crime
of dreaming through a lifetime

A soothing groove and luscious sound.
Your comfort / default zone is a cool place to hang out.
The new bass sounds great.

[Ray Brookes]

Always enjoy listening to your material, Tim. Your lyrics are always so poetic and icing on the cake of excellent musical production/writing. New Ibanez bass - yeeeh aaah. Why did you have to adjust the truss rod?

Lovely jubbly psychedelic loveliness throughly enjoyed

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

This is really good, and really catchy. I love all the music it's a great melody. Excellent guitar playing and bass sounds fab.
Song is slightly reminiscent of oasis in style ,( but without the nasally vocals The drums and piano also sound great and production too.

Yes, it is like the best song Oasis never wrote...but wished they did....but wern't clever enough to get it this good even if they tried

[StephenM]

another superior recording and song....with lyrics that really matter... incredible work from an incredible musician, recording engineer, producer.....SUPER! 

for a guy that supposedly isn't very good at lead guitar I love your leads.... so very much from a favorite era....70ish .... stuff like the Beatles, Badfinger, etc....Wings....
dang it man I could go on and on about how much I have grown to love your music over the months I have been on SC.... from some guy in NC....Thanks for brightening my world....

oh and congrats on the ibanez.... it sounds great

[Ferryman_1957]

Another Greeny classic, just loved this. A straightforward but wonderful combination of guitar, keys, bass and vox that is just sublime. I too love the subtle meandering lead work. It all sounds great as well, another lovely MBR recording.

But as always, it's your lyrics that lift this to another level for me. Phrases like "...where the dust-mote butterflies are dreaming through a lifetime..." are stunning and I am amazed by your ability to keep coming up with such fantastic lyrics and imagery. Bravo Tim.
