LIFT THE CEILING is the latest single from Greenshine and was written by Noel Shine. Ellie takes the lead on this happy, boppy, optimisticsSummer song that lifts the heart and opens out into a new future full of hope. Every life has ups and downs but with love and courage, we can lighten our load, change our outlook and step forward into the wide blue yonder. On Lift The Ceiling, you’ll be hearing multiple intertwining Greenshine harmonies, wah wah guitar, electric bouzouki and mandolin, rippling piano and the exquisite drumming of long-time collaborator Martin Leahy.
From the first chords you sense the rays of sunshine on your skin and the upbeat melody is asking you to dance and enjoy the little good things in life. The indescribable feeling of playing music with like-minded souls is captured very well in the song. It means much more these days when so many people are hungry to either perform or listen to live music. The connection created through the sounds and words is like no other. Greenshine capture the essence of their craft in a joyful way.
"A brown haired beauty, a lovely bride, 2 treasures and a friend who died
Are looking down from the shelf above, each one is sending out a different love"
