    David Greenald's Interests
GeneralI play the following instruments quite well: guitar, accordion, piano, harmonica, hand-drums.

But - possibly to the abject horror of the accomplished practitioner - I also have the audacity to play the following (and anything else I can lay my hands on) when recording: tenor horn, cello, balalaika, oud, violin, ocarina, mandolin, Celtic harp

David Greenald / Badly Horsedrawn Boy at the Big Green Gathering

The lyrics are available here


I've been a musician and songwriter for some time now, and written a bunch of stuff which is not all of one kind ... I'm starting to feel like it's coming together. Along the way I've had the privilege of working with some highly talented individuals. At the moment I'm mainly doing solo stuff, just because it's more portable. I sing mainly in English but sometimes in unknown languages resembling Klingon - make up your own meaning. I like being very silly (see my Videos). My other main passion in life is rock climbing ... but I don't do enough of that right now ...

Who I'd like to meet:
Some people have said encouraging things about my music!

cdbaby reviews:

Anything in 5/4 pleases me, but I particularly like the simplicity, the ragged vocal, the somber loping waltz with an extra leg, and the wry storyline emerging from the imagery of the first song. I listen to it over and over, and keep returning for another hit of "Not Hercules". I would write a real review if I could be objective. Right now I am hooked. I haven't listened to any of the other songs because I'm still stuck on "Not Hercules". Help? Talk some sense to me. Am I nuts? What do you think? I think, "Good one, Dave!"
Cavett Hughes

The first time I heard David Greenald, I was floored. Listening to “Not Hercules” made me drop everything to listen a few more times before venturing to Mr. Greenald’s other songs… you see, I was captivated! The spell was cast and now I have been enjoying many of David Greenald’s songs. Please be allured here as I am to one of the places where the ancients and the future meet with a rambunctious gypsy heart. Buy this cd!!! … and go ahead, sing along with the different shades of shadows in the light.
Maud Hudson

Some Myspace comments: .."comic sans"> Your music is brilliant - I love it! I feel the same way right now as I did the first time I heard Cohen, Drake or Waits - I never thought I'd ever feel that again. IF ANYONE'S WATCHING THIS who can give this man anything he needs ... GIVE IT TO HIM!! I am utterly jaw-dropped. Thanks for pointing me your way ... You're an inspiration and a reassurance that some people are still feeling it, AND recording it. Deadly

So glad I "dropped by" to be dazzled by Wild White Ocean. A trip. All the best - JZ
Joel Zifkin

It is an absolute joy listening to your music. It's rare finding musicians this creative, honest, and true to the sweet sounds of music. You (and your friends) make some damned good music and I definitely want some more. EPs? LPs? CDs? ANYTHING!!!!?
Nicholas (I Live By The River)

I'm dancing to "Deadman's Creek" right now. I have the hand claps down. If I ever made a movie and it had a driving scene in it ... then I'd ask you if I could use this song because it would be perfect ...

I will give you the wings to soar
Over blue seas and golden beaches
Lush pastures will spread before you
You will fly over mountains and forests
And know the complexity of freedom
The toxic fruit of devotion when picked too early
The tonic of laughter shared from a common cup
And the subtle smile that embraces
Of the tears shed too freely from a noble heart
And the solitude that enriches the soul of the pure
Your distant place remains far away
From sight and sound and touch
Of a loving hand and caring touch
That will say too many tears have been shed
For too little reason
I will dance in your laughter and joy
Soothe the pain of your sorrow
Show you the beauty of a harsh wilderness
Created in a softer more delicate time
When night meant a lustrous starry sky
And inspiration flows from the depth of the soul

-My Uncle Allan Stephenson
