another great song. In my mind i have i hear a little hustle of a very busy city. But you bring a straight line in it. Cool song

Nice deep mix and a strong track, well done lads!

Beautiful composition and well produced. Very Nice.

Great track mates! I appreciate the thoughtful lyrics as well as the way your vocals weave together. Beautiful and subtle dynamic changes definitely add to the overall feel as well. Excellent work! 🙏🏻✌🏻

Good track with a very full sound, lyrics are particularly good! Enjoyed.

A re-imagined version of this song from our 4th album..

LYRICS:

Took out a loan for the aftermath and you squandered it all and now you’re down on your luck
We came along and we told you that you had wandered off course into the path of a truck
The shorter nights are upon us now and we’re staying up late so you can sing to the sun
The water might fall upon the town and it’ll wash off the cobwebs and the spiders will run

Pack your bags and unlock the door, avoid disturbing the neighbours as you leave the flat
You always knew that you were meant for more, so you kept telling yourself while they were telling you that you were always meant for the simple work
Waiting on folks who’d had an easier ride
You gave the finger and a narky smirk to the bully in the suit you just couldn’t abide

You learn the hard way
And your fortunes are turning someday soon

When I was young, it was a disgrace if you had enough books to fill up a bookcase
I grew up ashamed of not being the same as the boys who believed that life peaks at age sixteen

Blank horizons, incurious minds seemed cool at the time
A trap that leaves you behind

You learn the hard way
And your fortunes are turning someday soon

Blank Horizons [revisited]

The Welton Shipwreck is a UK-based rock duo made up of Stu Head and John Culkin. Formed at the start of the 2020 pandemic lockdown period, their songs are written and recorded by means of long-distance collaboration from their homes in Scotland and Yorkshire. The music they make combines elements of shoegaze, post rock, folk and psychedelic.

Stu and John are old friends of over 20 years. Both originally from the Greater Manchester area, they met at university in Leeds in 2000. The band name refers to a street they lived on as students.

Both Stu and John sing, play guitar, bass, keyboards and drums across their various tracks (along with a few less conventional instruments.) They mix and produce all of their own music.

New tracks always in the works and posted right here!

Thanks for visiting.
