FAWM: "Taking Sand to the Beach"

Taking Sand to the Beach

Lyrics

Taking Sand To The Beach (Dargan)

A F#m
Already there in abundance
E D
If slightly out of reach
A F#m
Already there in abundance
D E A
Taking sand to the beach (x2)

A F#m
Strictly still superfluous
E D
Stuck inside of the breech
A F#m
Strictly still superfluous
D E A
Taking sand to the beach (x2)

D E
Build your castles high
D E
Build them to the sky
D E
Build your castles high
D CGA
Let the ocean’s mollify

D E
Build your castles high
D E
Build them to the sky
D E
Build your castles high
D CGA
Or kiss this world goodbye

Just not necessary
Overarching underreach
Just not necessary
Taking sand to the beach

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!! It's catchy. It's kind of silly. The form flows so nicely.

This song is amazing! So very witty so very catchy. The chorus builds a great tension to return to the verse . I also enjoy lighthearted happiness dancing between chords and lyrics. Can’t wait to hear more! Keep rocking :)

I agree with Tom about the changes at the end of the chorus--nice bit of lift there. Favorite line: "build your castles high or kiss this world goodbye."
