This relatively new song has taken almost 11 months to complete, including changing the key several times, tweaking the Real Time tracks quite a bit, and putting all the rest of the effort on top.

The song is about the grief and sorrow you often feel, when loosing friends and family that you never had the chance to tell your last goodbye (which quite a few has dealt with during the pandemic). I often reflect over life and death, when I'm all alone by the sea, and in this song I imagined sitting at a beach I never even visited - just to take the lyrics to a more imaginary place.

Stranded On East Wittering Beach

Lyrics:

The tide rolls in
At the first morning light
Wave after wave arrives
From The Isle of Wight
It's the rhythm of nature
Reaching it's very height
Now the seagulls begin to hunt
And they start to fight

Why did you have to leave?
You're high above the sky
And though I don't believe
I hope you have wings now

The fishing boats arrive
With the daily catch
Plunging through the waves
With their nets attached
The fishermen are struggling
To avoid the biggest splash
And to get their boat ashore
Looks like a wrestling match

Why did you have to leave?
You're high above the sky
And though I don't believe
I hope you have wings now

I never said goodbye
Before you disappeared
And as your image dissolves
I sense your deepest fear

I try to find some meaning
While starring at the sea
This emptiness is all I have
To a higher degree

Hmmm I'm stranded
Hmmm I'm stranded

Why did you have to leave?
You're high above the sky
And though I don't believe
I hope you have wings now

I never said goodbye
Before you disappeared
And as your image dissolves
I sense your deepest fear

Why did you have to leave?
You're far above the sky
And though I don't believe
I know you have wings now
I know you have wings now
I know you have wings now
I know you have wings now
