Grass is Greener

from Shuffling Deckchairs by Steve BLaque

/

about

Grass is Greener was recorded in April 2010 in my studios in downtown Beijing. I'd been messing with songs all over the place @ that time and was done to death with listenin' back n' forth...n' what i wanted was something that ''even i liked to listen to'..just coz i might write the songs doesn't always mean i like them...sometimes it's a process n' you go with it because that's what the sum total of your skills allows you to do, but you want something more....Grass is Greener was born of that. I was bringing back a lick from around 20 years back and was really groovin' on it and that was the bass line. i dug it almost instantly especially with how it worked with the beat. Maggie Gao was definitely in the picture because I wanted the song to be a duet and she brought to the plate what i was looking for. Trumpet is 'the wolf from bugs bunny'' blowin' his horn.....hey ''it was my album so of course I was gonna blow my own horn on my own album''..but I truly am a '2nd trumpeter''......pretty happy with the song, especially the sample that kicks it off, because it's so incongruous to the song and yet it isn't.
