Description:
the song is about hanging out with my mates and having a good time surfing on one weekend. i missed the rythm at the very beginning on guitar. hope you could let it go...

Lyrics:
sometimes i have this urge to go away
away from everything of everyday
there's no peace and i have bad headache
so i start the car and head for the bay

i slide down the window to feel the wind
lay my hand in the air like paper plane
all the buzzing is disappearing from my mind
all the madness is fast fading away

stay ever green

sometimes it's good to have your mates along
just the good mates and don't make the list too long
don't pack your trunk with a full of beer cans
bring in your boards and i-pod and get out while you can

out of tunnel, ocean's on the left side
gentle breeze stirs the surface and makes it shine
all the time in the world i have here with you
all the love in the world i have here with you

stay ever green

enter the green
colour me green
stop the time
ever green

Excellent acoustic groove, very cool and well performed.
Love the stereo layering of your near perfect playing.
Love the clear sound of the Yamaha. I just love this style
of music. And you do it in credibly well! Classic lyrics,
great song construction and execution. And I love the
confidence of your vocals. Another fantastic track.

another great song &mdash 01/18/05 - 12:35:59 AM
Really nice lyrics. The guitars sound great the way you
have them doubled and spread. Your singing is mostly
quite nice, though there are some places where I think
you might soften your "r" sounds.

I know it's awkward for some people to point out
language errors to people speaking a secong language,
but I also know how helpful it can be. I'm currently trying
to write a song in Italian. So let me just point out a couple
of corrections you could make in the lyrics:

"no peace and i have (a) bad headache"

"in the air like (a) paper plane"

"don't pack your trunk with a full of beer cans" change to
"don't pack your trunk full of beer cans"

"out of (the/a) tunnel"

I hope that helps. Great life-loving song.

This song is a refreshing breeze on a boring day. You give a poetic
musicality to what is otherwise a prosaic day-to-day life. Even your
vocals are confident and at times daring with conviction. I can feel the
purity and sincerity of this song. Surprising that your English is
masterful even with a foreign, albeit pleasant, accent.

Hey only 2 comments? I really liked the song also. I'm an acoustic guy myself. I heard about you through Tobin's interview. I love the hook at the end. You do have a great style. And that guitar sound was really nice.
