World Upside Down

Bio:

I’ve messed around with music 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.

Some 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. Greenalds other songs you see, I was captivated! The spell was cast and now I have been enjoying many of David Greenalds 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.

Some Myspace comments:

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

Hey David, I just wanted to drop by and tell you that 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. EP’s? LP’s? CD’s? ANYTHING!!!!?
Nicholas (I Live By The River)

The music is beautiful - it’s classic and it makes me smile. I see we both write music in a variety of styles, very awesome. I love the instrumentation and the texture. very genuine. Thanks.. what a gift! ^^N
