about

Set in the real world, The Beach follows the band as it tries to hold itself together through thick and thin, even when there are times when you just want to drive the tour van right into the ocean. Bluesy and raw, this tune, like the waves, ebbs and flows in its plea for closure. Somewhere along the way we reach acceptance of the fact that, as notable SLC artist Evan Jed would say, nothing lasts.

This track was recorded at Chillhouse Studios in Charlestown, MA. Engineered mixed and mastered by Will Holland.

lyrics

Car tracks in the sand
So you wanna be a one man band
Your mates smash in the van
While your nerves do the can can

Later on
She’s at the fire with a fan
You’re just standing there
With your dick in your hand
Fever pitch and when you land
She’s got a brand new man

On the beach, by the sea
At the SeaTac the mood swells
On the beach, just out of reach
You see a sunk ship set sail
Oh well

Broken glass, only takes cash
With a white flag flown half mast
Next year on the pier
Will you be there
Holding my hand?

On the beach by the sea
At the SeaTac the mood swells
On the beach, just out of reach
You see a sunk ship set sail

All singing
Make waves
Make waves
Will you say goodbye
To me today?
Make waves
Make waves
Just seize the day

I’m frustrated
Frustrated and out on my ass
I'm cross faded
With a lead foot on the gas
Because nothing lasts!

Singing make waves
Make waves
Will you say goodbye
To me today
Make waves
Make waves
Please say goodbye to me

On the beach by the sea
At the SeaTac the mood swells
On the beach, just out of reach
You see a sunk ship set sail
Oh well
