Gitaris folk, songwriter lan vokalis Bill Greenberg sadurunge miwiti rilis ing pungkasan, ndhuwur 25 taun saka album pisanan lan munggah saka band penjahat, Bill's Band, sing disebut Basic TracksInspirasi saka konflik Rusia-Ukraine, single pisanan Greenberg ing luwih saka dua dekade, digambarake "Ukraine" kudu duwe jus kreatif ngluwihi, amarga dheweke bakal ngasilake single liyane sing disebut "When I'm Stronger" pungkasan taun iki.</pfseg>

<pfseg id="0">Sementara Bill's Band nduweni jinis indie / folk fusion sound ngandhutake The Replacements, bakat musik Greenberg, komposisi aptitude lan storytelling brilliance nyebabake dheweke bisa nggawe dampak ing sawetara genre sing nggawé. Basic Tracks Piyambakipun nyebat lan nyebat, lan nyebat lan nyebat, lan nyebat lan nyebat. kanggo Heart lan jiwa Greenberg ana ing post-punk-style folk kaya Tom Waits lan Neil Young. Iki kudu ora kaget yen iki diwenehi, nanging gaya folk kurang edgy iku arah sing dheweke njupuk karo rilis anyar.

Digunake kanthi cepet sawise perang kanggo Ukraina dimulai ing awal 2022, "Ukraine"@@ ndadekake buzz kuat kanggo Greenberg, karo akeh kritikus njaluk himen kanggo perang. Kanthi sensitivitas politik lan filsafat sing kuat, chops storytelling Greenberg wis ditampilake kanthi lengkap ing versi iki saka lagu protes perang. Ngambarake protagonist kang wektu-tindakan anyar wis nggawe dheweke introspective lan jaded, "@Urkaine" bisa diartiake ora mung kanggo wong sing menderhungi ing konflik, nanging kabeh wong sing menderhungi.

Equally philosophical and desolate with a churlish glimmer of hope, "When I'm Stronger" is the same stripped down style with an edge as "Ukraine" but delves even deeper into ennui.

"When I'm stronger" will never come. It's a wish and a prayer.  You may have a vision of breaking out—but it's  a hopeless dream.

This idea may seem dark and depressing, but in the stories he tells and the music he writes, there's an obvious vein of respect and appreciation for the human condition. Like Waits or post punk counterparts Joy Division, the examining of the hopeless for Greenberg leads to purpose and, who knows? Maybe even redemption. It will be fascinating to see where Greenberg goes with his talent from the hopeless dream of "When I'm Stronger", but here's hoping it's not away for another 25 years.
