about

Seafront was written whilst sat on a cliff overlooking the rolling waves of the North Sea as a storm came in. It's a song about searching for meaning in something bigger than ourselves, and whether we are in turn heard in that pursuit.

lyrics

There was a man
Across the sea
He wove a song
With all the colours of the sun

There was a woman
On the shore
Painted silence
With the whisper of her lungs

There was a call
that once was heard
With every breath
every gap between the words

There was a weight
That was known
Lifted gently
From the marrow in her bones

For there’s no point holding to silence when it can’t take you home
And there’s no point looking for something that’s leaving you lost

For the same sun shines on the water, shines on the shore
And the same son shines on you daughter, making you whole
