B-Side Guys

Some songs seem to exist outside of time. Tim Green’s “Got More Love,” unearthed for Paul Hillery’s Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadours compilation, feels both vintage and timeless – a soft rock meditation on abundance that could have emerged from any decade but belongs perfectly to this moment.

The production creates a gentle pocket where folk and soul elements merge effortlessly. Green’s vocals float above the arrangement with the kind of natural ease that can’t be manufactured, while the instrumentation builds a gossamer-light foundation that somehow never feels slight. Each element serves the song’s central theme of love’s overwhelming bounty.

Most striking is how the arrangement breathes. Between Green’s declarations of devotion, the music creates spaces that feel like moments of pure contentment. The backing vocals weave through these gaps like sunlight through leaves, adding warmth without overwhelming the delicate balance of the mix.

The bridge marks a particular high point, where the repeated affirmations of love build not through force but through gentle accumulation. Here, the production opens up just enough to let the emotion peak naturally before settling back into its peaceful groove. It’s a masterclass in using restraint to maximize impact.

Through this marriage of folk’s intimacy and soft rock’s polish, Green has created something special – a love song that celebrates abundance without ever feeling excessive. Its inclusion on Hillery’s compilation makes perfect sense; this is exactly the kind of hidden gem that deserves rediscovery.
