Story behind the song
I began composing this song following a rehearsal with my band, Custard Pie Power Funk. We were chatting about absinthe, and I shared how many artists have been inspired by the Green Fairy. From Van Gogh to Hemingway, and including Oscar Wilde, Rimbaud, and Toulouse-Lautrec, the list goes on.
Yes, the drink packs a punch, and every time Ive tasted the Green Fairys lips, I seem to lose myself.
It embodies that bittersweet blend of pleasure, pain, and creativity.
Lyrics
GREEN FAIRY (DONT CHAIN MY SOUL)
By: Emiliano Benevides
You have a magical power
So clever sweet-and-sour
Green fairy, is it your call?
When and how I will fall?
I heard your whisper in my ear
I was breathless with fear
Green fairy, burning me out
Stop trying to change my soul
Dont change me
Dont chain my soul
Dont change me
Dont chain my soul
You have an impeccable taste
But the feeling was a waste
Green fairy, am I out?
I just saw my blackout
Having the flavor of your lips
Like the sun and moon in an eclipse
Green fairy, I am in a hole
Stop trying to chain my soul
Dont change me
Dont chain my soul
Dont change me
Dont chain my soul
You brought me some art and loss
Poetry, colors & chaos
Green fairy I am on the ground
I cant stand up, my life is upside down
And here we are, after many years
Am I numb? Without an ear?
Green fairy I lost control
Please stop changing my soul
I see your sound
Listen to your colors
Starry Night
Wheat Fields and Sorrows
Skull of a Skeleton
With burning cigarette
That is my course
that is my threat
Dont change me
Dont chain my soul
Dont change me
Dont chain my soul
Dont change me
Dont chain my soul
Dont change me
Dont chain my soul
