Italian musician and composer Richard Green offers a deeply personal glimpse into his life with his single Ending Up in the Wrong Way. Inspired by a love story from 2023, the track explores the bittersweet emotions of love lost and the endings that shape us. From the first moments, it’s clear that Richard prioritizes emotion over technical flash, drawing listeners into a melodic journey that feels honest and relatable.
Collaborating with a violinist and a saxophonist, Richard layers the track with rich, live instrumentation. The saxophone opens the song with a reflective, almost melancholic tone, while the violin later adds a sense of elegance and vulnerability. Richard’s own guitar and electronic production tie everything together seamlessly, creating a balance between modern sounds and timeless emotional resonance. The lead melody is simple yet expressive, staying with the listener long after the song ends.

Ending Up in the Wrong Way is part of Richard’s EP ILLUSIONS and fits into a larger musical trilogy where he experiments with genres from neoclassical to electronic, jazz, and chillout. What stands out is his ability to make complex compositions feel approachable, with melodies that communicate more than words ever could. This track is not just music; it’s a story, a feeling, and an experience rolled into one.
For anyone who appreciates music that touches the heart, this single is worth hearing. Richard Green proves once again that his strength lies in creating melodies that are heartfelt, memorable, and deeply human. Ending Up in the Wrong Way isn’t just a song, it’s a reflection on life, love, and the beauty found in both joy and sadness.
