Going for Gold - Greeny original for Psychedelic Fest '22

[Greeny]

Lots of fuzz & wobbly modulation. Features Fender Telecaster, Epiphone Les Paul P90 Gold Top, Ibanez bass, vocals and GB drums. All recorded and mixed on the MBR.

The lyric will seem particularly obscure for anyone not remembering Henry Kelly on the early 80's TV euro-quiz 'Going for Gold'.

a leprechaun at rainbow's end from 1982
to all my european friends
aufweidersein, adieu

in a morgue of daytime TV
your questions shower me
don't let the embers grow cold
'cause i'll still be going
going for gold

jumping through the flaming hoops
of portals in the sky
all my faith like silver shoals
of fish within your eyes

in a morgue of daytime TV
your questions shower me
don't let the embers grow cold
'cause i'll still be going
going for gold

[ODH]

That's a really great song. Love those harmonies.

[StephenM]

it would fit that era of music too because while this is psychedelic it's also a touch new wave... 
cool guitar madness...love the bass... great vocals as per usual and unusual lyrics as per usual! 
glad you are back at it Tim

[Oldrottenhead]

braw brother, i wasted many an hour watching going for gold lol.

Really good work ,  really liked the vibe and really liked the lyrics even if I never seen this show ..
Great work.

[Farrell Jackson]

I like the unusual Arabic guitar note you've thrown in at the intro picking and throughout...it adds a cool tension to the music. Great vocal and harmonies Tim. Yep, it's got the Psychedelic vibe nailed down!

[MikeWyatt]

Psyche is probably my favorite sound.Nice vibe all around,i'm still trying to find the door.

[Ray Brookes]

Cool psychedelic track, Tim. As Farrell says that 'Arabic' sounding note on the guitar riff adds tension. I've never heard of the TV quiz but the lyrics work well with the music. Your vocal is always first class and those harmonies sound great.

[BerryPatch]

Grabbed me right from the intro! And that's not even mentioning the harmonies and the absolute knockout chorus here. Everything here is perfect for that psychedelic vibe and like I said, the chorus REALLY hits. Great Greeny goodness

[AndyR]

I only vaguely remember the show.
But I was listening before I read the blurb - loved the imagery painted in my head before I read what the references were.

Superb track.
