Pleasure Beach

about

My new track ‘Pleasure Beach’, written, recorded and produced by myself. As per always, I made this track using my acoustic guitar, an 80s keyboard synth and a drum track from online. I always like to leave my songs completely open to interpretation but I read somewhere that musicians should exampling meanings as it increases engagement (or something like that) so I would say that this song is about the idea of decay and loss. I have always been interested in tourist attractions that have gone past their hay day; places that once had an image of greatness and have since declined in popularity. For those unaware, Blackpool Pleasure Beach is a seaside resort that I used to visit as a kid. It may seem like a strange this to write a song about but the history of places is something that really interests me lol. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this track!

lyrics

Candy floss, hard rock on the pier by the Pleasure Beach
Ghostly laughter of children through the centuries

We’re all decaying quietly
We’re all decaying quietly
We’re all decaying quielty
In a sad northern town like this

The sea is the only one who holds me
Maybe I should breathe it in
Let the water take me
Away from all my misery

By these bright lights of the Pleasure Beach
Misery by these bright lights of the Pleasure Beach

Haunting arcade music fills these blackened streets
Tower of illuminations with its memories

We’re all decaying quietly
We’re all decaying quietly
We’re all decaying quielty
In a sad northern town like this

The sea is the only one who holds me
Maybe I should breathe it in
Let the water take me
Away from all my misery

By these bright lights of the Pleasure Beach
Misery by these bright lights of the Pleasure Beach

Da da da
Da da da da
Da da da
Da da da da

The sea is the only one who holds me
Maybe I should breathe it in
Let the water take me
Away from all my misery

The sea is the only one who holds me
Maybe I should breathe it in
Let the water take me
Away from all my misery

Rosa Lavenne Wales, UK

Clutching at the coattails of gothic folk, Rosa Lavenne delivers a dreamy sound with melancholic lyricism. Heavy on reverbed synths, as well as the folk traditions of fingerstyle guitar and melodic harmonies, mean that Rosa stands at the crossroads between tradition and modernism. ... more
