I Was Wrong

"Don't wait for the green light, don't wait and see"
Green light is track 2 on City Over Sand's new EP Half Full. The song is about closing doors, taking chances, ingrained behaviour, you, your family, time, timing, today.
It's about your life in the blink of an eye.
Recorded at Blindboy Studios on the Gold Coast.
Release Date: 28 October 2022

Green Light

(Haiku)
A song about cats
A song about people too
Lessons in living

A song of simple living, of lessons to be learnt through observation.
A song that reflects a shifting reality of new routines and adjusted values in a post pandemic world.

Count on the Days follows City Over Sand’s 2022 five track EP release Half Full. 

A song in two halves, the first offers a meandering stroll, a breezy affair of subtle vocal and guitar that is soon driven home in the second by an urgent choir seeking more questions than answers.

Engineered and mixed by Brad Hosking.

Look For Me

We are strangers to these streets
With our heads bowed at our feet
Blistered by the pavement, the summer heat
Still feels cold
It’s been so long now, though it seems,
like yesterday when our dreams
Crumbled down the mountain
The summer breeze
Carried us home
Lets leave now
We’ve got time to make the four fifteen
Lets leave now
We can land on our feet again
No one even knows us here today
The truth will rise, find its own way
Eventually if we stay
Our cover will blow
There’s no more time to think
About the little things that went wrong
Just get on board, be quick
And don’t forget now where you’re from


The Four Fifteen

City Over Sand, featuring Brad Hosking, Jules Keshan and Dan Carroll self produce out of Blindboy Studios, a suburban musical goldmine on the outskirts of Queensland’s Gold Coast.

City Over Sand adopted the One Song, One Day approach, recording and mixing their new single 'Hold On', on 1 April 2013.

“By working quickly we were able to capture the energy and emotion that the song deserves. It’s appealing to us as a band to write and record new music and make it available to people almost immediately.”

Hold On is a song written as Dan’s father fought a six-month battle with cancer, a battle he unfortunately lost in March this year. The song is about living with the uncertainties of life with a smile on your face.

The single ‘Hold On’ follows on from City Over Sand’s 2012’s self-titled EP. www.facebook.com/cityoversand www.cityoversand.bandcamp.com
