Awning explain the childhood perspective in Little Green Book

Awning's new single Little Green Book approaches grief through a childhood perspective, according to singer and guitarist Christian Dimick. The Auckland band has joined Winspear, and its official video arrived on October 6.

A childhood viewpoint, without a fixed interpretation

In an artist statement on Winspear's Awning page, Dimick describes the song's lyrical imagery as cryptic and says he likes the way children write poetry. He explains that the song takes the perspective of his childhood self watching someone struggle with grief.

That explanation provides a starting point rather than a complete decoding of the words. Dimick says the audience does not necessarily need to understand that personal context and can take its own meaning from the song. His account leaves room for listeners' interpretations; it does not identify a particular loss or the person involved.

Awning joins Winspear

Winspear's announcement introduces Awning as the newest addition to its roster and points listeners to the single and video. The label's artist page describes the group as a five-piece that grew from Dimick's solo project into a collaborative band.

The official AwningVEVO video, published on October 6, identifies Little Green Book as out now via Winspear. Its credits name De Stevens for recording and mixing and Greg Obis for mastering.
