'Blue Birthday' - Greco & Green (Maxit & Greeny) original

[Greeny]

After a little rest we're back to making some new music. This is mostly Max (piano, acoustic guitar, bass, synths), with me on vocals and my new Vox wah pedal (with my Epiphone casino).

The song seems miserable to start with but music cures everything 

Blue Birthday

it's another blue birthday calling
to me from all the downtown bars
many unhappy returns to you
melancholy in twelve bars
but the sun is surely sleeping somewhere
on the shoulder
of a lonely road

it's another blue birthday happening
no cakes or candles to write home about
many unhappy returns to you
from all your fears and all your doubts
but the sun is surely sleeping somewhere
on the shoulder
of a lonely road

it's another blue birthday drinking
whisky and vodka in the afternoon
raise a glass to your guitars
collecting dust within your room
but the chords must be sleeping somewhere
on the shoulder
of a lonely road

put on a shirt let's go out tonight
put on a shirt we can make this right

here's your medicine - a shot of funky blues (like you planned it)
the band are cooking and the crown are wanting more (they demand it)
now your birthday is getting in the groove (blue and funky)
they'll get you drinking and nodding your head good (clockwork monkey)

Maxit has a signiture sound,you can hear his influence.
Couple by greenys excellent story telling lyrics and excellent vocal.
Some nice guitar in there too.
A song that offers up a multitude of surprises.
And those music time changes are very Inspired.
A great collaboration.

[Frank53]

Very cool song. Great lyrics with a nice mood change.
Yes, music can definitely lift you up from your funk.

[Ron D Bowes]

Nicely constructed track. Cool piano, cool wah and cool vocals. Love the funkiness injection! Yes, I enjoyed this .

[StephenM]

I love piano and this is gorgeous work Max.  Underpinned by that snare drum it is very catchy.
really nice electric guitar adds...

I think you have to be very special to make music that has all this spatial clearance while still being epic....
I haven't really learned that yet...

vocals are really good Tim... but yeah, the breakdown into honky tonk is CAF!

[Ted]

It starts like a Christmas song and ends like porn film. I've never heard anything like it. You hit the mark – mark I never imagined needed to be hit.

It starts like a Christmas song and ends like porn film.

I'm not sure I completely agree with the above comment, but I would be proud to have this in any review of my music. Definitely my favorite comment as this year gets underway. As a matter of course, I am going to try to use this to describe many future endeavors...relationships, meals, car rides, local theater, cotton candy, etc.

Love your singing.

Great listen,what an excellent track, loving the piano and synth and the change up at the end.
To me the vocals and lyrics have a Beatlesque quality which I love, great stuff!!

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

Love the intro, then it just gets better and better. Lovely piano melodies. Really good music, vocals and lyrics.
Great songwriting and performances. I like the change in style at the end.
