...of the Take That songs. Green man was the first album, that Mark Owen wrote. It is very very different. I would discribe it as a bit "grunch". btw. : the pictures in the booklet are great as well. Inspiring.
I don't find albums very often, where I can listen to every single song. Usually you buy an album and you like one, two maybe 3 songs out of it, but on this one, I don't want to turn if off, untill it's finished. I find the lyrics are very interesting ... ...bit about the songs:
1. Green man
2. Clementine,: was released as a single (the name was taken from a diner in which Mark wrote the song)
3. Child: was Marks first single

Mark Owen is the small, sexy one from Take That... in my opinion of course haha.

I love this album just because there is something about it that just gives you a warm feeling inside. I would highly recommend this album and any other of Mark Owens albums. ...
