Love that percussion over the rising groan.  Really dreamy feel to it!

Why Does No One Like This? (feat. Charlie Blu)

Cheers

An acoustic / orchestral version of this song from our 3rd album. Featuring John's daughter, Ada on the trumpet!

LYRICS:

They stayed at home
And you went to Rome
Ate on your own
Embraced the unknown

You counted leaves
While they stared at trees
Down on your knees
Escape their disease

It’s too far, it’s too high, it’s too hard to climb

Rome - acoustic version

For some reason this is the only copy of this developing song that I have.

Millennial Stupor (Dizzy Days)

The sun went down on our glory days
The tide came in, right up to our face
Jesus, Caesar, guess what Simon says…
We sailed too long, crashed against the waves

So long, take or leave it…
This is not our fate…
It takes time, to realise it…
Got to get out…it’s too late…

When the sun comes up, on those dizzy days
You’ll see that you got lost out in the haze
Slowly lonely tears run down your face…
We sailed too long, drowned beneath the waves…

Now the suns gone down on our glory days
The tide came in and washed it all away
Slowly lonely tears run down your face
We lost it all down beneath the waves

So long, take or leave it…
This is not our fate…
Takes time, to realise it…
Got to get out…it’s too late…

When the sun comes up, on those dizzy days
You’ll see that you got lost out in the haze
Slowly lonely tears run down your face
We sailed too long, but hey what’s one more day…

Send Heaven Down (with Patricia Edwards)

Keepin' it nautical...
The Welton Shipwreck is a UK-based rock band formed by Stu Head (Stooj) and John Culkin (jculkin) at the start of the 2020 pandemic lockdown period. Their songs are written and recorded by means of long-distance collaboration, between their homes in Scotland and Yorkshire. The music they make combines elements of shoegaze, post rock, folk and dream pop.

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!

You will also find all of Stooj's solo albums and tracks on this page.

Thanks for visiting.
