I'm lying in bed with my tablet Chromecasting to my TV the playlist I recently created. I am up to Green. Their first release with Warner Bros. Records. I am reminded of my youth when I would put in my cassette tape of Green at night and listen as I would fall asleep. It was not as obvious then as it is now that they were playing unique instruments, a foreshadowing of things to come. On songs like You Are The Everything, Peter Buck's mandolin shines like a star against the night sky in its beauty and clarity. Also present is Mike Mills playing accordion. The sound sweeps through the song in, what is to me, a soothing rhythm. It is now, with a broader audience and presumably more pressure, that the band continued to make their music in their image. This was the first album I bought of theirs and it sparked a lifelong love of music.
The thoughts and experiences of a father, husband, soccer enthusiast, cycling lover. And whatever else I feel like talking about on any particular day.
