Just in from the critics:
'Take the Waters' wouldn't be out of place on the Neil Young album 'Harvest'
"Gorgeous, vulnerable vocals. Great harmonies. Lovely acoustic guitar solos."
Haven't felt inspired to write anything since I had covid in February 2022...but I've found myself in the sea twice in recent weeks and a conversation with a singer friend, Rachel, about spreading one's wings had me taking the waters metaphorically speaking. It's very cleansing...
The track is another singer-songwriter thing with pseudo-choral harmonies, maybe next time I’ll bring the choir together for my songs.

lyrics
Swimming cleanly through the water,
way beyond the tide and time
I can easily find my way back home,
'cause I never run out of line
And as I'm out there floating oh so free
Well, I never need to feel the air
And the bitter taste of bleak anxiety
I can shake without a care
Spread your life across the ocean
Find the waves don't hurt your pride
Take your chances while you have them
Moving forward with the water as your guide
And as you're out there moving oh so free
Well, you never need to care
For feeling weaker with anxiety
You can live without a prayer
Take the waters like you're floating down
Meet your demons half way there
Sons and daughters who won't wear that frown
Fight the fight like there's no one there
Take the waters like you're floating down
Meet your demons face-to-face
The sons and daughters who don't wear that crown
Fight the fight when they find the space
way beyond the tide and time
I can easily find my way back home,
'cause I never run out of line
And as I'm out there floating oh so free
Well, I never need to feel the air
And the bitter taste of bleak anxiety
I can shake without a care
Spread your life across the ocean
Find the waves don't hurt your pride
Take your chances while you have them
Moving forward with the water as your guide
And as you're out there moving oh so free
Well, you never need to care
For feeling weaker with anxiety
You can live without a prayer
Take the waters like you're floating down
Meet your demons half way there
Sons and daughters who won't wear that frown
Fight the fight like there's no one there
Take the waters like you're floating down
Meet your demons face-to-face
The sons and daughters who don't wear that crown
Fight the fight when they find the space
