Fine China: 'Trees At Night'
I love to promote local music.
Phoenix guitar-pop heroes Fine China have returned with their new single ‘Trees At Night.’
Here’s what singer / songwriter Rob Withem has to say about the track:
“In my home growing up there was an odd assortment of vinyl records among which were new age type albums by artists like Andreas Vollenweider and Mannheim Steamroller, and a whole stack of Windam Hill samplers from the early 80’s. I always was drawn to the songs with nature sounds, songs that sort of had a setting in which they existed. With ‘Trees at Night’ I wanted to combine that approach with pure pop music. So a song not only is a song but it lives in a place.“
Though the track is certainly not “New Age,” you can certainly feel that touchpoint. The track definitely has an 80’s feel and captures a nostalgic move but remains original and engaging.
Lyrics :
If you asked me for a moment
If you told me as a friend
That I'm going on alone
In the shadow of the moonlight
There's a ghost upon the room
I'm going on alone
Faces in the leaves speak with voices we deceive not
Rivers get the land both beautiful and damned
But it's on my mind and it's in the trees at night
I don't want to be a lion and I never was a lamb
Is my heart beating or is it just a hologram
Faces in the leaves speak with voices we deceive not
And the rain waters the land for the lonely and the grand
But it's on my mind and it's in the trees at night
