Name: Mister Greenlight
Duration: P00H03M18S
Description: I asked my brother Greg to write some lyrics to this tune. I wanted to write a "Pop" song in which the verse, chorus and bridge, although all the same tempo, have different feels. I made a couple drum loops to play along with the real drums. One of the loops is from Betty Carter's version of Open The Door and another is David Bowie's 5 Years.

lyrics

Where are you, Mister Greenlight
One more mile, one more mile
Only you, can write this song
Make me smile, make me smile
Maybe you should say hello
It's not wrong, it's not wrong
If you must wait for someone
Don't be long, don't be long

Do you still know the way to my sunshine, my lovely yellow sunshine
I know you can help me with all my long days and all the words I can never find

I regret waiting so long
The light is almost gone
Where are you Mister Greenlight
One more mile, one more mile
Visit me without calling
Come to me for awhile
Visit me in the morning
Make me smile, make me smile

Hey, look up on the rooftop
Six birds on a wire
lucky me feeding the fire
trying to go higher

Where are you Mister Greenlight
Make me smile, make me smile

Grand Tour

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before? This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship. Essential. Crinklechips

Common Ground
by Big Big Train

supported by 9 fans who also own “Mister Greenlight”

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
