The bracken die-back turquoise orange gold the pattern fading black from yellow I should go back find my own way home but I don't know where I'm going anymore Depth of Field returning from the overload perspective is not learning but letting go But I don't know if I'm alone now and I don't know the way to go and I don't know if I'm deserving of being borne along so bold so Depth of Field returning from the overload perspective is not learning but letting go And I don't know If I'm alone now and I don't know the way to go And I don't know if I'm deserving of being borne along this road so The pattern fades back gorgeous in the glow but I don't know where I'm going anymore.

I can see her face in my peripheral vision I can see her face but something's missing Deciduous trees are ancient deciduous trees are ancient but the wind can still change for them I can see her face half hidden in the shade and the leaves are shaking like paper chains Deciduous trees are ancient deciduous trees are ancient but the wind can still change for them.

If you're going down to Lake Superior if you're going down to make a sound I'll be going down to Lake Superior I'll be going down to check it out You're the only one I found You're the only one I found You're the only one I found so you better get down Shake shake shake shake shake shake it down I'll be going down to Lake Superior I'll be going down to mess around If you're going down to Lake Superior if you're going down don't make a sound You're the only one I found You're the only one I found You're the only one I found so you better get down Shake shake shake it down Shake shake shake it down shake it down You're the only one I found You're the only one I found You're the only one I found so you better get down Shake it down.

My garden is a jungle a glorious rough and tumble Japanese knotweed I can't get over you Japanese knotweed I can't get through You're never gonna guess who's coming after you You're never gonna guess who's gunning after you My garden is a wonder of glorious technicolour hues Japanese knotweed I can't get under you Japanese knotweed I can't get through to you You're never gonna guess who's coming after you You're never gonna guess who's gunning after you Japanese knotweed I can't get over you Japanese knotweed I can't get through to you You're never gonna guess who's coming after you You're never gonna guess who's gunning after you.

I've been getting versed in the order of things never did find an ordinary way of living But I'll sing the world into oblivion, just to fit in And I'll remember everything I'll remember everything happening happening I'll walk the trail I know so well singing everything to hell the whirlpool sucking everybody in And I'll keep singing I won't remember anything I don't remember anything happening happening The sea thrift growing in the garden, it's just a blow-in on the wind, but I know where to go to get the real thing and I'll keep singing And I'll remember everything I'll remember everything happening happening happening unhappening.

Watercourse 03:04
I'm aiming for the red sand watercourse flowing inland following the light on the strand watercourse flowing inland Direction of travel is true hoping I'll be there before it has time to meet you I never knew I had swung against that tide for so long let go of branches and swung head over feet I have spun Depression comes out of the blue hoping I'll see her before it has time to meet you Guess I've been gone way too long wondering where I went wrong I'm skimming home like a stone watercourse please let me roam Direction of travel is true knowing I'll be there before it has time to reach you.

Into Nowhere 04:01
You went the other way a corridor of gorse in early flower I led myself astray borne away with chlorinated water Now you throw me over into nowhere now you know we're never gonna go there oh no no no oh no no no The smell of petrichor there before the first blush of summer It carried you away falling under eyes all a-flutter Now you roll me over in the clover now you know you're never gonna go there oh no no no oh no no no You went the other way near the place we first lost each other I led myself astray borne away with waiting forever Now you throw me over into nowhere don't you know I'm never gonna go there oh no no no oh no no no.

You're the only one who understands You're the only one who figures I, I know I don't wanna make demands I, I know I don't want a leader And I don't wanna leave it any longer I don't wanna leave it any longer to be delivered It's obvious to anyone I'm wasted on you It's obvious to anyone It's untrue And I'm not going any I'm not going anywhere you wouldn't be there And I'm not getting any I'm not getting any younger And I don't wanna leave it any longer I don't wanna leave it any longer to be delivered Cos you're the only one who understands you're, you're the only one who figures I, I don't know where I would be without you now I, I don't know if I would be here And I don't wanna leave it any longer I don't wanna leave it any longer I don't wanna leave it any longer I don't wanna leave it any longer to be delivered to be delivered It's obvious to anyone.

Bioluminescence on a radiating wave soar iridescence blowing rays across her face I found a way I found a way to say you're so insatiable you're glowing baby Bioluminescence in the fading light of day glowing effervescence throwing shadows on the shade I found a way I found a way to say I'm so insatiable I'm glowing baby I found a way I found a way I found a way I found a way I found a way I found a way I'm changing every day Bioluminescence on a radiating wave soar iridescence from auroras light your face I found a way I found a way to say what's so unsayable I love you baby I found a way I found a way I found a way I found a way I found a way I found a way I'm changing every day.

Daughter, water falling automatic writing on the wall I'm milk drunk, wrapped in fat of animal Watermelon sugar alcohol The first day of spring the silver lids, are ripped to the tits still singing When I was a kid, I was the spit but you are more delicate than anything Darling, I've been so low how am I supposed to help you grow? I'm punch drunk with the thrill of it all Watermelon sugar alcohol.

The Apple 02:48
The apple hasn't fallen far from the tree the apple hasn't fallen I was made for you and you were made for me The apple hasn't fallen so very far from the tree I was made to throw the seed below my very feet didn't know where I was going Now I'm living all the way out east and I can see, where I used to kick the leaves still growing red and green The apple hasn't fallen far from the tree the apple hasn't fallen I was made for you and you were made for me The apple hasn't fallen so very far from the tree Baby from the tree now baby from the tree now baby from the tree oh-oh.

about

Between 2010 and 2018 Sea Pinks released 84 songs into the wild. Many of these plunged straight into the undergrowth, seldom to be seen or heard from again. Of those that fledged successfully, a mere handful have yet to shed their electronic tracking devices. These twelve songs are collected here together for the first time. They are weary from the air, heavy winged and plastic waste infused.

But their hearts still sing; for you, the casual listener of today, or you, automated song anthropologist of the future, poring over the vast catacombs of early 21st century internet-era ephemera. This period in music, the 20teens, will soon be just another thin layer of sediment, soil upon soil, decade upon decade of cultural landfill. Where can we put it all?

For now, these songs are gulls soaring overhead.
