• "Green Goddess" is a rumination on two of vocalist and guitarist Jan Scott Wilkinson's greatest loves:
  
  1) A eulogy to England's green and pleasant land.
  
  Your bucolic poetry
  It stirs my heart, it moves me
  
  "It is a love song about everything green from the Lake District to the New Forest," Wilkinson told Apple Music. "The places I love to be which are quiet and restorative."
  
  2) A love song for Wilkinson's wife, whose favorite color is green.
  
  Everybody needs somebody
  So take my hand and follow me
  Yeah, follow me
  My green, green Goddess
  
  Said Wilkinson: "There are dark and complicated things going on, but sometimes it is good to forget this and go to the places and where you are happy. A hope that the future doesn't have to be at odds with the past."
• Guitarist Martin Noble had the initial idea for the music. Wilkinson then helped arrange the track and added his vocals to it.
• The British post-rock group recorded the song for Everything Was Forever. Released on February 18, 2022, it is the band's first album under Sea Power after altering their name from British Sea Power. The change came about after they became increasingly concerned about a rise of xenophobia on this planet. As a group with an internationalist mindset, they felt having a specific nation state in their name ran an unnecessary risk of people linking them with isolationist nationalism.
• Everything Was Forever marks Sea Power's first work with Graham Sutton as co-producer since their 2011 Valhalla Dancehall album. He also collaborated with the band on their Mercury-nominated set Do You Like Rock Music? and their soundtrack to the 1934 film Man of Aran.
