There’s treasure across the sea Plenty for you and me The water is calm and slow With help from the moons glow Throw your doubt to the wind Get behind the helm again They say there’s a thousand pearls With a thousand girls under the reef I’ll be the richest man In all the land No beggar no thief Throw my doubt to the wind Get behind the helm again Starboard! Lads swim to shore The sea is seeping through the floor Keep your eyes on the beach The beasts about to breech Emerald shine in salty eyes Help me Lord, I don’t want to die Emerald shine in salty eyes Help me Lord, I don’t want to die Emerald lies close my eyes Help me Lord, I don’t want to die

Lend me your eyes so I can see what you see And I’ll protect you from all the shades of green When you’re alone and your crying in your bed I’ll be the one to through the demons from your head I’ve failed before when I vanished and I lied And I wasn’t there for you when your mother died Shades of green are turning all around Stir the cup and revel in the sound Lend me your hands so I can feel what you feel I’ll hold the flowers that keep life feeling real And that hummingbird was a sign from above The grass has gone dead to green turning into love Without silver you can’t catch the gold True love’s not hard to find, it’s hard to hold Shades of green are turning all around Stir the cup and revel in the sound

I hear your laughter like a bathroom clock I have no ashes, I’m in the dark I see the branches of your broken heart I’ll climb the tree so you can see That just like the sun I’m the only one For you and you for me And just like the sun I’m the only one For you and you for me

about

It’s a curious thing. All the shades of green. Plants. Water. The absolute necessities of life. Music, too, is an absolute necessity. To capture both color and sound in a bottle to put atop a piano like a houseplant. A clock. A fern. Synesthesia. These songs are meant for that. To close your eyes and see green. To drown in the color of piano. Drawing influence from the psyche of Bill Evans’ Rhodes and Koji Kondo’s synthesizers, Shades of Green is a melancholic covey that pulls hard on the heart strings musically and lyrically, brushed over with a plethora of improvisation in smooth watercolors.
