about

Beach (2015)
When my wife, daughter, and I first moved from New York City to Appleton, WI, we flew to California to visit extended family. We had a few lazy moments of beach time, which felt like an amazing luxury after so many years in the NYC grind. It was like shedding a skin and becoming ready to start a new life in a new place.

lyrics

this all feels so lovely
let’s take a walk together
to where warm air blows
across our faces

children are playing in the ocean breeze
and I’m sitting here at my ease
not a care in the world
letting all these things flow in the whirling wind

reading books, playing guitar,
watching people or just sleeping
and maybe I’ll be thinking
on that which I really should be getting done
but can’t get to

cause I’m here at the beach
I’m out of reach
my cellphone does not seem to work that well
I’ll talk into that shell
while my feet are being covered with sand
by the little girl angel who holds my hand

so I’ve got a couple more hours
before the sun goes down
and we go back to
our regular lives

and I really like this lovely mystery and simplicity
everything that you can’t find when you are in the city
oh oh just stay here with me
just a little bit longer
I’ll go get some snacks that are likely overpriced
but tasty
and salty
like the ocean water

cause I’m here at the beach
I’m out of reach
my cellphone does not seem to work that well
I’ll talk into that shell
while my feet are being covered with sand
by the little girl angel who holds my hand

can you put some sunscreen on?
can we throw the ball around?
can we stay at least
until the sun sets?

got to show my strokes to our folks up there
who like to watch as the water moves in
circles around my hand
until I float onto the beach exhausted

like a whale covered in the lovely sand
so stay a little longer and hold my other hand
and maybe you‘ll get your feet 

covered too

cause we’re here at the beach
we’re out of reach
our cellphones do not seem to work that well
I'll talk into that shell
while our feet are being covered with sand

by the little girl angel who holds our hands
by the little girl angel who holds our hands
by the little girl angel who holds our hands
