Green Man (album)
"Green Man" is the debut album from Take That band member Mark Owen. The album was released on 2 December 1996, weeks after the official split of his former boyband, Take That. Three singles were released from the album: "Child", "Clementine" and "I Am What I Am". The album peaked at #33 on the UK Albums Chart, the highest position received by one of his solo albums. The album was re-released in 2003, with the revised title of "Green Man: Revisited". The album was re-released due to the success of his second studio album, which was released earlier that year. It certified gold and sold over 200,000 copies in the UK alone.

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or man:
“‘Oh beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly,
Play the Dead March as you carry me along;
Take me to the green valley, there lay the sod o’er me,
For I’m a young cowboy and I know I’ve done wrong.”
—Unknown. As I Walked Out in the Streets of Laredo (l. 5–8)
“How difficult the task to quench the fire and the pride of private ambition, and to sacrifice ourselves and all our hopes and expectations to the public weal! How few have souls capable of so noble an undertaking! How often are the laurels worn by those who have had no share in earning them! But there is a future recompense of reward, to which the upright man looks, and which he will most assuredly obtain, provided he perseveres unto the end.”
—Abigail Adams (1744–1818)
