Anthony is well known for his impressively high vocal range. In addition to his position in Circa Survive, he is the former lead vocalist of Saosin and member of The Sound of Animals Fighting, a experimental rock band featuring members of Rx Bandits and Finch. Other projects he has been involved in throughout his career include High and Driving, Audience of One, Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer and Jeer At Rome. He has been featured as a guest vocalist or backup vocalist in many bands, such as Fear Before the March of Flames, The Receiving End of Sirens, Envy on the Coast, The Spill Canvas, Say Anything, Good Old War, A Trunk Full of Dead Bodies, and Like Lions. Green also played four acoustic sets opening for The Color Fred in late December 2005, as well as two benefit shows in December 2006.
In 2003, Anthony Green moved from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Southern California in order to pursue a future with Saosin. Saosin would release only one EP with Green, Translating the Name, before he departed to form Circa Survive. The band immediately gained the support of Equal Vision and within a year had released a limited edition tour EP entitled The Inuit Sessions. They went on to release two full-length albums, Juturna and On Letting Go, before moving on to Atlantic and releasing a third, Blue Sky Noise, and another EP, Appendage. Anthony Green considers Circa Survive his only band, and has labeled his other ventures, including his solo career, as “projects.”
Anthony's song “I've Been Dying to Reach You,” was recorded in 2003 with Justin Shekoski of Saosin at John Feldman of Goldfinger’s home studio. It was later rerecorded and released as "Dear Child (I've Been Dying to Reach You)" on Avalon, along with other tracks that Anthony had played throughout the years but had not released. Anthony has acoustically covered songs by artists such as Good Old War, Bjork, Pink Floyd, and The Monkees. A spoken version of his poem “Jesus And The Sharp Electric Star” appears in the book Revolution on Canvas.
Baby Girl
Anthony Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're talkin' to me
I can't breathe
Set some time aside to say
Why don't you stay
Ten years later, I still feel like a child
(Repeat 2X)
I know you are
This common feelings ends when you enter
Not many cigarettes left
I think I'll wait 'till you get back
'Till you arrive, to be relieved
I want to
I want, I want to
(Repeat 4X)
You're the one
I know you are
Meredith, I miss you when go anywhere
She's so lovely (Repeat 6X)
She still loves me (Repeat 2X)
The lyrics of Anthony Green's song Baby Girl delve into deep emotions that he feels for the love of his life. The song starts with the singer pleading with his lover to twist away from him while talking as he is not able to breathe due to her proximity. He then asks her to stay and says that after ten years, he still feels like a child around her. This signifies that the love that the singer has for his partner is still as strong as it was when they first met.
The chorus of the song "You're the one, I know you are" is repeated several times, emphasizing the strong feeling of attachment that the singer has with his significant other. The lyrics then shift towards the absence of his lover, and how he feels incomplete without her. He states that despite imagining her everywhere he goes, he misses her when she is not around. The song ends by acknowledging the beauty of his partner and stating that she still loves him, which is a comforting thought that helps him navigate through life.
