about

Hello BandCampers!

This is the title track off my forthcoming EP, which will be released on the 30th of June. Not the Sea is a song about letting go of the past and slowly coming to terms with the present through engagement with the natural world all around us. I hope you like it.

lyrics

Not the Sea

I took a walk by the water nearest me
It seemed to whisper...I am not the sea
As morning hummed, it would not let me be
Over and over...I am not the sea

I took a walk...oh oh oh
I took a walk...oh oh oh

Nowhere to hide, no bush, no tree, no bend
Toeing the line now, I could be your friend
Then it arrived, just something else to mend
Two missing horizons, one backdrop to tend

I took a walk...oh oh oh
I took a walk...oh oh oh

(solo)

I took a walk...oh oh oh
I took a walk...oh oh oh

Go to the water...go to the water
Go to the water...go to the water
Go to the water...go to the water
Go to the water...go to the water

I took a walk by the water nearest me
It seemed to whisper...I am what you need me to be
