Green Pitc… Read Full Bio ↴DANISH BAND MAKES SPARE, HAUNTING, EMOTIONAL, LO-FI ROCK.
Green Pitch was formed in 1998 when guitarist Ste Rasch
Left his home on a small island in the baltic sea, and moved
to Copenhagen where he met singer Rex Garfield. They started
writing and recording songs together on an old 4 track, and in 2001 they released the charming lo-fi album ”The outlet pass”. The album found its way to the primary danish alternative radio station, making Green Pitch known on the indie scene.
Green Pitch then began performing live with Singer/guitarist Kristian Kristian (The river phoenix), drummer Michael Brandt (the river phoenix), and multi instrumentalist Moogie Johnson (Munck Johnson) adding to the band’s Intimate sound. Working with these musicians Green Pitch Started the recordings to what would become the critically acclaimed record Ace of hearts, which was released on the newly established Good Guy’s recording company in 2005. In 2007 the album was furthermore released in Canada and the U.S. by the american record company Funzalo records, and was distributed in the rest of the world by english Rykodisc.
By then Green Pitch had begun recording their next album ”La Jolla”, adding yet another multi instrumentalist, Reno Rasmussen, to the team of musical collaborateurs. In the summer of 2007 the couple moved to San diego California where they finished the record and played a series of concerts together with italian viola player Chiara Pierobon.
In the fall of 2008 Green Pitch returned to Copenhagen where they signed with PonyRec. ”La Jolla” will be released April 10th 2009, and Green Pitch will be touring Germany and Schwitzerland in May.

Green Pitch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems almost silly now
Like a magnetic field
Switched on somehow
I think it's safe to say
I'll watch his chest hair turning grey
And as the stairs align
That led me to your arms
Love's not overrated
Not this time
It's a magnetic field
Switched on somehow
I think it's safe to say
I'll watch his chest hair turning grey
At night when I'm alone
I know he will be coming home
Perhaps he'll cook a midnight meal
And I'll smile to let him know I feel
A different way of still the same
The lyrics to Green Pitch's song "Midnight" seem to be about the singer's relationship with their partner and their feelings about love. The first verse mentions hearing Billy sing, which seems silly to them now. This could be interpreted as the singer realizing that love songs and romantic gestures that once seemed corny or over-the-top now have meaning to them because they are in a loving relationship. The line "Like a magnetic field switched on somehow" reinforces this idea, as if the singer is saying that love just clicked into place for them somehow.
The second verse mentions watching Billy's chest hair turn grey, which suggests that the singer is in a long-term relationship. They seem to be reflecting on the passage of time and how their love has endured despite any physical changes. The line "The most unfortunate of signs that led me to your arms" is open to interpretation, but it could suggest that the singer and Billy found each other under difficult or unlikely circumstances. However, they don't regret it because "love's not overrated, not this time."
The third verse describes the singer alone at night, waiting for Billy to come home. They mention him cooking a midnight meal, which could be seen as a sweet gesture of love. The closing line "A different way of still the same" could suggest that while their relationship has evolved, their love remains just as strong as it always has been.
Overall, the lyrics to "Midnight" paint a picture of a mature and enduring love, one that has weathered the ups and downs of life and remains strong. The song's use of metaphors like a magnetic field and watching someone's chest hair turn grey give it a poetic quality, while the straightforward language and relatable themes make it easy to connect with.
Line by Line Meaning
Billy, I can hear you sing
I can hear your voice clearly, like you're singing to me
Seems almost silly now
It's hard to take this seriously anymore
Like a magnetic field
It's a force that's out of my control
Switched on somehow
Activated in a way I can't explain
I think it's safe to say
I'm pretty sure
I'll watch his chest hair turning grey
I'll be with him for a long time
And as the stairs align
As things start to make sense
The most unfortunate of signs
The signs that pointed to something bad happening
That led me to your arms
That brought me to you, seeking comfort
Love's not overrated
Love is worth it
Not this time
This time it's different
At night when I'm alone
When I'm by myself in the dark
I know he will be coming home
I can count on him to come back to me
Perhaps he'll cook a midnight meal
Maybe he'll make us something to eat late at night
And I'll smile to let him know I feel
I'll express my emotions to him non-verbally
A different way of still the same
A new way of expressing the same old feelings
