about

‘Got No Trees, Got No Soul’ is the second offering from Sunshine Coast (Gubbi Gubbi) based musician Julian Homewood.

Homewood draws influence from folk, gypsy jazz, psych, pop and prog, which flourishes through his compositions. His music delivers a political and environmental statement akin to the Dylan and Rodreguez era.
His latest single, Got No Trees Got No Soul leans into 60s folk-rock and pop, with a sprinkling of neo-psychedelia.

lyrics

Lyrics:
Verse
Got no trees, got no soul,
God left this place long ago.
Got no trees, got no heart,
Take me back to where the river starts.
Got no trees, got no soul,
Fields of grass where trees once stood.
Got no trees, got no hear,
Take me back to where the river starts.
Back to the river.

Pre-Chrous
Boogie man is coming, boogie man is coming.
Streets are flooded, boogie man is coming.
Trees are burning, boogie man is coming.
Boogie man is coming, boogie man is here.

Chorus
Got No Trees
Got No Soul
Got No Trees
Got No Soul

Verse
Bless our souls,
We have come this far.
Without hurting ourselves,
Or crashing cars.
Got no trees, got no soul,
We’ve been taking for far too long.
Got no trees, got no heart,
Take me back to where the river starts.
Back to the river.

Pre-Chrous x 2
Boogie man is coming, boogie man is coming.
Streets are flooded, boogie man is coming.
Trees are burning, boogie man is coming.
Boogie man is coming ,boogie man is here.

Chorus
Got No Trees
Got No Soul
Got No Trees
