New York City Folk Singer Songwriter Bill Greenberg has an uncanny knack for telling incredibly deep, universally themes stories with subtlety, grace and an openness to life’s shadows. Following up his prior single, the extremely relevant and powerful protest song “Ukraine”, Bill opens up with a more personal matter for many on “Swear to God”. “Swear to God” lyrically puts itself in the position of ones who struggles with addiction, intends to make their way through it, telling themselves and those around them why will. Some do make their way through, while for others the task is too looming and insurmountable.
“There’s always a choice. Prayer sometimes helps….so they say”
Greenberg’s vocal carries a unique subtlety and cadence that can only from experience and feeling for the music. Listeners of artists like Paul Simon or Neil Young should find something to love here. The official music video, which dramatically visualizes the songs themes, is also out now.
His solo singles include “When I’m Stronger”, the acclaimed Anti-War song “Ukraine”, and new addiction-themed song “Swear to God”.
