about

Wave Upon Wave is the title track of the EP, which is a collection of songs about the sea and the healing power of water.

I wrote the vocal parts in one sitting, and never changed them. In fact, the entire vocal recording is the original demo that I created when trying out ideas late one night. I started off with the simple lilting melody of 'wave upon wave upon wave', and loved the way the structure of this sentence means it could go on infinitely. This idea of infinity sparked the next line, 'day upon day upon day'. The sea is vast, infinite, timeless.

The song grew from there really, like a wave rolling towards the shore, building strength and power and beauty. I wanted the different vocal parts that come in to lap and swell like waves, articulating the essence of being moved deeply by the sea.

Luke did a beautiful job of building a soundscape for the vocals to float on. I particularly love the autoharp. The sounds of the strings as they are played sound like the gentle pull and creaks of the mast, and it feels like you're on a boat.

lyrics

Wave Upon Wave

Wave upon wave upon wave upon wave
Day upon day upon day upon day
Sea shore

I came here to see more
I came here to feel more
I came here to be more
Sea shore

Make my way up from the rocks
Make my way with little steps
Wring my clothes out on the sand
Breathing, breathing, here’s dry land
Sometimes I get lost at sea
Lighthouse, lighthouse, shine for me
Hold me in your trembling arms
Hold me til my seas are calm
