about

My first move after achieving temporary financial stability was to go back to California where I had lived in the 70's.
It had been almost 30 years though and this song is about the experience. Matt Exelby features on multiple slide and it's my 1st pedal steel outing.

lyrics

Blue Sky Morning
words and music by
john greene

When I left home in 72,
California was the place to be
I had a head full of dreams
and a bag full of schemes
No time for reality

4 years of a hand to nose existence,
Living life through a pair of shades
The fog finally lifted my priorities shifted
And I ceased to be unafraid

Now its another blue sky morning
Gonna be another blue sky day
But from Mojave to the Monterey shore
Can’t seem to find what I’m searching for
any more

Thought I left something behind
Couldn’t get it out of my mind
I tried to make the tape rewind
Now I know there’s nothing to find
Its long, long, long, long gone

Now my futures not what it used to be
Second time around’s not the same
This collision with the past
may turn out to be the last time
I play nostalgia games

Now its another blue sky morning
Gonna be another blue sky day
But from Mojave to the Monterey shore
Can’t seem to find what I’m searching for
any more

about

John Greene Music Falmouth, UK

John Greene's music is a reflection of his turbulent, non-conformist life and is based on early rock and roll, the pop explosion of the 60’s, the blues and many things Americana.
Best described as ‘Hard Country’, it lives in the space also occupied by the likes of Neil Young and the Grateful Dead. It always involves his unique viewpoint on the world he has lived in and the troubles we all share.
