(1)Fink, Brighton-based acoustic folk / blues / electronic artist
A recording / performance name of Brighton, UK's Fin Greenall - a Bristol-born understated singer-songwriter. He is an uncompromising artist - in acoustic folk / blues / dub - with an astounding stage presence, signed to Ninja Tune Records. With live accompaniment by Guy Whittaker (bass) & Tim Thornton (drums), they have played over 300 shows, in the last three years (inc' supporting Zero 7 & Massive Attack). In addition to his performance history, Fink has written with many (inc' John Legend & Amy Winehouse), plus remixed Elbow, Nina Simone, 坂本龍一 & Robert Belfour. Prior to all of this, Greenall - who grew up in the same city as Roni Size, Portishead & Massive Attack - was a Ninja Tune DJ, spinning trip-hop & breakbeat internationally.
Fink’s 2006 debut Biscuits For Breakfast (recorded entirely in his loft in Brighton) saw him reincarnated to become Ninja Tune’s first singer-songwriter. Such was the impact of this collection of songs on the underground British musical landscape, iDJ Magazine stated: "If 'Blue Lines' was about Generation X's experience of house parties, hip-hop and smoking drugs then this astonishing album is its millennial equivalent."
2007 saw the release of Distance And Time, another critically acclaimed record that saw Fink’s fan base spread around the world. As an incredibly accomplished and versatile vocalist and guitarist he has since performed as a special guest in front of thousands at London's Royal Albert Hall as part of BBC Proms, New York's legendary Carnegie Hall (where he performed a cover of REM’s ‘The Apologist’ in front of the song’s creators), and even Milan's 80,000 capacity San Siro Stadium. It was also Distance And Time that caught the attention of John Legend, with whom Greenall co-wrote ‘Green Light’ featuring Andre 3000 and ‘Set Me Free’ from Legend’s Evolver LP. Legend, in return, makes a guest appearance on piano, and co-wrote two tracks with Greenall on Sort Of A Revolution.
There are very few independent artists who have quietly accomplished such an amazing array of achievements, and judging by this new and impeccable record, it doesn't seem that Fink - many a music fan's best kept secret - will be a secret for too much longer.

Make It Good
Fink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause when it's gone it's gone for good, let me tell you
And if you stayed over, you know we would, if we could
Put it back together, piece by piece
Put it back together, make it good
If I breathe in the future, breathe out the past
Put it back together, piece by piece
Put it back together, make it good
And if you stayed over, I’d make it so sweet
I'd make you remember, baby, from your head to your feet
And if you go now, babe, we'll never know
And if you go now, babe, we'll never know
And if you go now, babe, we'll never know how it ends
Make it good
Make it good
Make it good
In Fink's song "Make It Good," the lyrics touch on the fleeting nature of love and relationships. The opening lines suggest that when a relationship ends, it's over for good, with no chance of reconciliation. However, the singer desperately wishes that they could put things back together if given a chance. The repetition of "put it back together, piece by piece, make it good" speaks to the idea that it's possible to fix a broken relationship if both parties are willing to work at it.
The second verse emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment and cherishing it, even if the relationship is not meant to last. The final lines of the song express the singer's desire to make the most of their time with their partner, hoping that they will remember their time together fondly.
Overall, the lyrics to "Make It Good" convey a sense of longing, regret, and hope for a second chance at love, with a recognition that some things truly can't be fixed.
