This is me on 6-string and 12-string acoustic guitar and vocals, with some ocean ambience flowing through the music. Bass supplied by Mike Fife. Words and music by Tim Green, copyright: 2009.

My name is Tim Green, and I'm a singer-songwriter who creates (mainly) acoustic-based songs with as many infectious hooks and rousing choruses as I can muster.
I'm a Singer-Songwriter who loves playing live and recording original songs on my Boss Micro-BR 4-track. My style is mainly acoustic, with some rock, psychedelia and blues thrown into the mix. My main aim though is to write great songs, no matter what the style. It's a magic formula you really have to work at (unless you're Burt Bacharach, Jimmy Webb or Brian Wilson...). All the songs I post are predominately written and played by me, but I'm lucky to have worked with some great musical collaborators including Mike Fife, James Higgins, Marcelo Prive, Mike McGrath, Dave Berry, Mark Ros, and Bodie Sickler. Thanks guys! I'm also guitarist & co-songwriter in the band Jemima's Kite, with James Higgins, Mike Fife and Geir Alfsen. We're currently working on our 6th album. Thanks for looking and listening!

Can hear Crowded House in this one. Nice vision in the lyrics with a catchy melody. Quite ethereal!

Liked this alot. Good dynamics...builds and ebbs...and with your vox and playing it's really a fine ride. Your music has a "fragile" quality that makes it most enjoyable to me. Well written and arranged and a good choice for a title track. Very well done Tim!
