about

Take A Look Around With You is a song written after a trip to the Normandy coast when I lived in landlocked Paris for a number of years and any trip to the sea was a welcome blessing and relief from the intensity of the city. Some years later having completely forgotten writing and recording it, I found it on an old drive and when Clare Sands heard the rough and raw version she added some magical instrumentation to it and breathed new life into an old song!

lyrics

Take A Look Around With You

They got palm trees in the winter,
Bamboo in the yard,
I don’t know where we’ve been,
But I sure know where we are,
Take a trip out of the city,
To a little coastal town,
Put your feet up,
Put your bags down,
And take a look around.

Sea is grey but the skies are blue,
And the wreckage from the wall falls into the ocean,
Take a turn down a country road,
Where everything is new,
Take a good look around with you.

The sands are waiting for the summer,
The cabana paint peels off,
The wind is whispering its secrets
Through the valleys and the troughs,
There’s no need to hurry
Because time will surely pass,
Little children know sandcastles
Were never meant to last.

Sea is grey but the skies are blue,
And the wreckage from the wall falls into the ocean,
Take a turn down a country road,
Where everything is new,
Take a good look around with you.

The winds will blow and the rain will pour,
Let the water come crashing up to the shore,
Blow sweet wind,
Blow sweet wind,
Blow sweet wind some more…

Sea is grey but the skies are blue,
And the wreckage from the wall falls into the ocean,
Take a turn down a country road,
Where everything is new,
Take a good look around with you.
Take a good look around with you.
With you...
