Kenneth & Greeny - 'The Best Song in the World'

[Greeny]

Another Kenneth collaboration and he asked me to post it 

Standard procedure. Something out of Kenneth's bin that he wondered whether I could save / resurrect. As always, I was all over it on the first listen 

The lyric is what happens when you play your best / proudest work to a harsh domestic critic 

'The Best Song in the World'

I was jamming with myself
on the scrounge for unknown chords
when I happened on a freakshow -
what the butler saw

I said this is the best song in the world
but she said no it's not
she said no it's not
I said this is the best song in the world
but she said no it's not
she said no it's not
it's just an album track
it's just a throwaway

maybe I'm mistaken
I've been misled before
I thought I'd hit the jackpot
but I was drunk upon the floor
itchy trigger finger
the eternal optimist
aiming for an epic
the medusa kiss

I said this is the best song in the world
but she said no it's not
she said no it's not
it's just an album track
I said this is the best song in the world
but she said no it's not
she said no it's not
it's just a throwaway

I wish Kenneth could see how talented he is.

You two make quite the killer collab - this is great with an engaging title!

[Oldrottenhead]

Awesome guys.

[Nelson]

Another outstanding piece guys reminds me of Bernie and Elton, both so damn talented.
Tim again with his lyrical wizardry. Love the concept of playing your best / proudest work to a harsh domestic critic. very cool

If this is what's in Kenneth's bin I don't think we could handle what's in his vault. smokin track

Tim I also liked that hi back up vocal in the chorus. sweet

[StephenM]

all of a sudden the volume went way way up....cool....kind of thought I was playing two tracks at once...

Kenneth's swirling, mesmerizing guitars/keyboards are always fine with me...

now couple this with Tim's cool guitar work and lyrics/vocals and you have a great song...perhaps the best song in the world...

[Ferryman_1957]

A lovely swirling Kenneth backdrop with great dynamics and some great hooks, topped with a wonderful Greeny lyric. Oh, we've all been there, it's so well observed. The vocals and backer come together really well, I really liked the chorus, and the "medusa kiss" part really grabbed me.

Another great collab guys.

[BerryPatch]

Not just an album track and certainly NOT a throwaway . The jangling guitars almost give it an XTC vibe, and lyrically it's also definitely up their alley as well. I love how the chorus propels forward as it does, perfect foil to the verses. A real slice of power pop heaven.

[StephenM]

those big guitars remind me of RUSH and man is that great!

Another powerhouse of a collab by two of the stars of the show! Fine piece of work!
