The song describes an experience my brother Harry had near the cliffs at Arbroath in 2003. Verses 1 and 2 were written that year but no recording was attempted. In 2010 I found myself writing a 3rd verse and immediately put it to tape. Harry died on the 31st October 2013...

It All Works Out In The End

Hey Johnny

Eugene Twist, the Scottish singer-songwriter, returns with a captivating new track ”Sea Captains”. Drawing inspiration from his recent relocation to the south coast of Sweden, the song delves into the transient nature of life and the ever-changing landscapes around us. Building upon the rich and organic songwriting that has characterised his previous albums, The Boy Who Had Everything (2012) and The Stuntman (2017), Sea Captains offers a refined sense of space that has evolved over time and through his production work with other artists. His signature attention to arrangements features here with lush strings and horns sounding across layered vocals. Eugene describes the song as “inhabiting a metaphysical place somewhere between the bleak Scandinavian haar and the stories that drift into the ether”.
