punchlineMrs. GREEN APPLE
A masterpiece that delicately portrays deep emotion, loneliness, and sadness, it sets abstract states of mind—such as the fragility of human relationships and the resignation that comes with growing up—to a beautiful melody.
Included on releases like the 2015 first album “Variety,” the song is characterized by emotive lyrics that convey the weight of the words, carried by poignant piano and guitar lines.
Clearly distinguishing between the more matter-of-fact delivery in the verse and the parts sung along the melody will add contrast and a stylish feel.
In the chorus, using falsetto effectively to bring out a sense of wistfulness seems like a good approach.
