GREEN: Bringing you the love

My Valentine’s Day was super. One because it turned out much nicer than I expected.
Two because I got this CD:

This is seriously the greatest album I’ve ever listened to. I said that about City and Colour’s last record too, but this is possibly even better.
Every single song is so amazingly written and just. . . beautiful. I was really looking forward to this CD’s release, but listening to it even exceeds my expectations.
The tracks cover themes of love, death, and the philosophies of life that very much show the honesty in Dallas Green’s writing. The songs are comprised mainly of Dallas’s raw voice, over strumming acoustic guitars, harmonica, and tambourine.
My personal favourite track is The Girl.
This album is just. . . wow.
If you appreciate really good music, get it. Now.

“You don’t ask for no diamond rings, no delicate strings of pearls. That’s why I wrote this song to sing, my beautiful girl.” - The Girl by City and Colour
