Life

Green combines strong personal experiences with an uncanny sense of song, in order to create a brazen sound with sensuous melodies reminiscent of their true influences: Rush, Giant and Pink Floyd.

Along the way, the band makes profound statements about the spiritual underpinnings of love, human condition and redemption in a man's "Life". Mr. Kite is the imaginary character of this journey through life and love. He's constantly living a contrast between his interior world and the reality surrounding him. "Life" describes his flight through calm or sometimes stormy skies on his quest for the wind of love: seeking something worth living for. "We like to sing about the highs and lows: the central experiences most people go through in their daily life as reflected in Mr. Kite's adventures", says drummer Michele Fanfani. "We're very spiritual, so there's a lot of hope in our music", adds singer and guitar maestro Fabrizio Pieraccini. Beginning with the ethereal landscape portrayed in the instrumental opener "The Wind Of Love", Green wastes no time defining their musical boundaries: airy melodies, masterful arrangements (finely wrought by keyboardist extraordinaire Giovanni Fanfani and Pieraccini's guitarwork), pulsating rhythms (courtesy of drummer Michele Fanfani and bass player Guido Melis), sharp lyrics and Fabrizio Pieraccini's expressive vocals. Such diversity comes easily with GREEN, with each member having spent a lifetime steeped in the finest pop and rock Italian bands (such as Airspeed, Diaframma and Time Escape). Hailing from Tuscany, in the heart of Italy, GREEN deliver the spiritual approach of a timeless landscape in their music! An overlook on the concept: Taking inspiration from the incredible amount of ideas offered by everyday life, Green have tried to tell something which really has to do with themselves, the reality around them, just as they see and live it every day, through the story of the main character of "Life": Mr. Kite. His will to live and to go on, no matter what he finds on his path; his strong will to keep feeling the world alive inside of him: these are the feelings constantly clashing with his darkest moments, where torment and restlessness attack him violently; where boredom, depression and a continuous lack of satisfaction seem to have the better of him. Like a kite in the sky he endlessly follows the flow which keeps him up; Mr. Kite doesn't give up and in the end decides to keep fighting, to keep betting on this fascinating and wonderful adventure: Life!
