'Black Summer' - Greeny original for SummerFest

[Ray Brookes]

Brilliant. One of the best songs I've personally heard on this site for ages. The production/arranging is first class and gotta love those dark lyrics. Excellent vocal work - in fact everything is excellent, Tim.

One of your best, and that's saying quite a lot. I love how the chorus digs into one of our deepest and least-addressed crises.

Killer track Greeny. Dark vs light, remorse vs indifference, responsibility vs avoidance. The contrasts are here.

[Geir]

Just fabulous songwriting.

Great performance and production as usual.

And just a f-ing great melody

Love it

I'm a fan

Superb job as always! Sweet sounding guitar on the right channel, great singing and lyrics with a bit psych vibe! Bravo, Tim!

I have to agree with other folk, I think this is one of your best. Superb composition and killer dynamics. The guitar grabs you from the off, it's got a great Marr-ish quality and you use the echo very nicely. A great bass line bubbling away under everything but the way it builds to the "forest fire" section is superb and so powerful. Lovely chord work through the chorus and I love the ending as well. Brilliant vocals and harmonies, all topped off with lovely crisp production on the MBR. Bloomin' brilliant from start to finish!

It's heavily influenced by what you did on Boulevards of Sunday :-)
