I'm Not Gonna Waste It - Greeny & Kenneth

[Kenneth]

Well...

I have to say say it feels great to be making music, please go easy on the musicianship.
I need Tim to make the song, as it needs him. Thank you Tim.

Recorded with garage band and a 40th anniversary Squier Strat and a Yamaha FS800 small acoustic.

Thanks for the listen and taking your time.

Lyrics by Tim

in a brand new town
you shave and dust yourself right down
chapters strewn like empty bottles
but you're working on the next one now

the mirror never lies
you wear the lines of last goodbyes
but summer's on her way back home
to bring some sunshine to those eyes

i'm not gonna waste it anymore
watch me walking tall down this corridor
with possibilities behind each door
i'm not gonna waste it anymore

and i will let this sea of mermaid whispers heal me
dark carnation kisses are exploding all around

roll another dice
you've been through fire and ice
waiting for the green man signal
at the intersection lights

the future still unknown
clothes and friends outgrown
but you'll be ready now
when that stop light turns to go

i'm not gonna waste it anymore
watch me walking tall down this corridor
with possibilities behind each door
i'm not gonna waste it anymore

and i will let this sea of mermaid whispers heal me
dark carnation kisses are exploding all around

Watch them exploding!

Nothing wrong with that musicianship Ken good to have you back ...an excellent uplifting lyric Tim an excellent collaboration

[StephenM]

This is outstanding!  The music provides a wonderful backing for Tim to work his magic. 

I have heard a number of your music tracks Kenneth and there is a unique vibe to the way you go about it.  It's like your own signature.  It's hard to describe but the way you drive the bass and drums together along with the guitar strums makes a powerfully delicate palate of swirly delight.  I also love the backing vocals with the cool effects...

massive track men!  love the lyrics and Tim's singing always inspires!

[Pete C]

Great to see you back on the site Kenneth. Nothing at all wrong with your musicianship..it's a fine backer to Tim's vocals.

A beauty of a tune. I love that little psychedelic break.

Well done, gentlemen.

[launched]

Are you kidding me I love this!! The strong parts are tight and melodic with great metaphoric lyrics, and the dissonant sections bring me into thought.

I'm thinking "Whirly Gig". A friend of mine used to say that. "We're going to fly away in the Whirly Gig and see where things take us".

Oh, and Greg Brady came by a couple days ago to forgive me for locking him up in the basement. When I set him free he went to Tony's for years until he got kicked out. This tune is kind of like that!!

[Redler]

Bravo guys!! It's really nice to see you Ken and hear new music from you    

The backer is just brilliant and Tim's lyrics and vocals are just top class, as always.

"and i will let this sea of mermaid whispers heal me
dark carnation kisses are exploding all around". This spot must be from a lost Beatles song, fascinating psuchedelic vibe...

The high and the low all put down their  musical abilities (well, except for a few prima donnas) and that's because we never stop trying to learn and improve. This is a fine sounding track. Well constructed and, of course, a good lyricist and vocalist is worth their weight in gold.
