about

Tomás Gleiser, the glass harmonica player on this track answered a call from Kirsty on Facebook's 'weird instrument tribe' for someone who played the instrument. He recorded his part remotely from Brazil. Glass harmonicas are not common instruments and it's rare to find one of the original 'stacked glass' models. The poignant and fairground-esque sound is played by Tomás on pitched wineglasses.

lyrics

Greedy Little Things

Send them all to sleep
all those greedy little things
All those weary things that cry
so you cannot sleep at night
They are greedy little things
and they mean to do you harm
and they take away your pleasure
and they take away your calm

So send them all away
you deserve some quiet time

Send them all to sleep
all those weary little things
Before they whisper in your ear
Before they whisper and they sing
For they’re greedy little things
and they mean to do you ill
they will promise you the moon
but you know they never will

Bring the moon to you
That’s just not the kind of thing they do

Those greedy little things
greedy little things
Those greedy little parts of you

Her continuously evolving musical personality is proof that a freedom from artistic restraints can sometimes produce a unique, enthralling and original voice with a rare honesty. ... more
