    I'm almost certain this song is about a young pregnant couple who chose not to keep the baby (who ended up being twins) because "someone said they ain't ready." But the part where he says "I admit inside me was fear I never wanted to show you" makes me wonder if HE was the one who said they ain't ready (in spite of wanting to start it with her). Which explains why he's so haunted. And this song SOUNDS haunted. It's so beautiful and disconcerting at the same time. Incredible art.

    I watch life inside of you grow
    Every month a little bit bigger
    All the things that bothered your soul
    Make me smile and go crazy
    I wanted to start it with you
    But somebody said we ain't ready
    I admit inside me lives fear
    Fear I never wanted to show you
    They will always haunt my dreams
    The green twins with your eyes
    They will always haunt my dreams
    The green twins with your eyes
    We could've moved to LA
    It's always sunny bright out there
    If I had it my way
    We woulda stayed where we started
    I wanted to start it with you
    But someone said we ain't ready
    I admit inside me lives fear
    Fear I never wanted to show you
    They will always haunt my dreams
    The green twins with your eyes
    They will always haunt my dreams
    The green twins with your eyes

    First off, let me just say fantastic job on this album Nick! First listen through this album I was blown away at the overall sound. Something you definitely don't hear very often. It's an incredible listening experience and I was moved throughout the entirety of this album. Lots of different elements from other genres came together perfectly for a mesmerizing trip. I love how mysterious sounding and experimental this album got. The overall timbre of the tracks and mastering on this album are phenomenal! Great mixed vibes from this one, and a must-listen album for anyone open to new ideas in music, music enthusiasts, and casual listeners alike. Great job to you and everyone involved with "Green Twins"! I can honestly say this by far is my favorite album of 2017 with my favorite track being "Needy Bees". Looking forward to more of your work in the future!!!

      “Green Twins” came out of a dream he had three times in a row: “We were walking down the road in [Jamaica Plains] and two little green babies were running around the sidewalk. There was a crash behind us. As we walk away, we look back and the twins had been run over by a car. The babies were made out of some green Jello texture.”

    • @laurenelise98
      @laurenelise98 7 років тому +8

      I think there is more emotion in his voice in the acoustic. There's something more raw and real about it with the intonation and emphasis in different words. To me, the extra background music covers up the beauty of that. Maybe this version will grow on me.

    • @damienscullytoo
      @damienscullytoo 7 років тому +15

      Oh i agree! The acoustic version definitely brings out his voice more but i feel like this version captures the idea and feel of the song perfectly. That cinematic feel is hard to recreate acoustically, in my opinion.

    • @GhettoSoul9
      @GhettoSoul9 7 років тому +1

      i definitely agree. the production IMO is kinda distracting. Its easier to get lost in the song when it's his voice and a guitar alone.

    • @UrbanSophistic
      @UrbanSophistic 7 років тому +8

      I think both versions serve a purpose. I will sit and watch the acoustic version from time to time, but riding along in the car I will be jamming to this studio version no doubt. Nick is incredibly pure yet versatile with his voice. Each version he is feeling his way through it, almost exploring. This way his live performance can still be an elevation or exploration of the recorded idea (version).
