Story Behind the Song
This song is just telling a simple story. The meaning should be evident from the lyrics. It was written and recorded entirely in my very modest home studio in Brighton UK.
Lyrics
Couldn't stop the wind from blowing my windows,
Couldn't stop the rain from hammering my doors,
And it gave it all it had,
At first it took my wife, it hurt her so bad,
Couldn't stop the coast from coming to our garden,
The uninvited guest who takes all he can,
And he gave it all he had,
Till the garden we'd loved collapsed with the land,
By then i knew we didn't have any power,
Over what we thought was ours and where it should be,
It seemed nobody could help,
We were on our own, it was us versus the sea,
Couldn't stop my family from upping and leaving,
The cliffs were just too close for our own safety,
But i gave it all i had,
'Till the rest of the house just tumbled to the sea.
