Ronen Green-One Of These Days

Wow, this is so adorable! Very mellow and calm-kind of Jack Johnsonish but less Hawaii and more Tel Aviv on Friday afternoon. Guaranteed to put you in a good mood. I also love how the background scenery is both Tel Aviv and the Moshav Tel Shahar giving it a true weekend feeling. I first came across Ronen Green with his song "Rooftop Blues" which I heard as part of the "Ohalim Adirim" compilation and came out during the 2011 protest (and I wrote about here). Not all of the songs "survived" in my iPod but Rooftop blues is one that did and I never get tired of listening to it. You can download it along with others here, as part of "Kol 2 and 5", a one-take analogic project by the sound and producing company Mitzlol very much like the popular Daytrotter Sessions, a wonderful platform for discovering new artists, and you just can't beat analog sound. Check out Ronen's site and especially what he writes about his music-it's so easy to give in to producers/managers/the industry and go for the "easy route" to sucess at the expense of quality and the artist's integrity so it's quite admirable that Ronen has decided to just do his own thing-for the benefit of himself and even more, for us.

Ride around town Chasing our tail Looking for a dime and maybe we'll be someone

One of these days its gonna happen to us
Peace will arrive and we will all be as one
I know that's a fat cliche, its a well known fact
We do what we do and we just gotta do it right

One of these days
music will go back to what it was
before I and I became me and me.
One of these days its gonna come
You will wake up in the morning
Look up at the sun and know
You've always been someone

One of these days

Ride around town
Chasing our tail
Looking for a dime
and maybe we'll be someone

One of these days

Well if its alcohol and drugs to help us feel free
What was blcking us in the beginning to be?

One of these days

Ride around town
Chasing our tail
Looking for a dime
and maybe we'll be someone
