Story Behind The Song

A song from the eponymous Arrow Beach CD.

Song Description

A menial laborer's dream of a sunny clime and better days and and an end to the tedium. Metaphorical minimalism. Slow, deliberate song with impassioned vocals of yearning. Pushy guitars set to the sex beat of Amy's drums. Mellotron and synth provide atmosphere and mood.

Sam Cooper

Love the trudging mud-thick groove!

BAKE

Really good work. The vocals are powerful enough that they don't get drowned at all by the instrumentation. Drum work is fantastic and arrangement is great. Prog rock elements abound.
