The Tide - Yes, I write some odd songs sometimes :)

Описание: A mesmerizing and peaceful exploration of the coastal ecosystem through music. This video captures the hypnotic, endless cycle of the tides, set to a soothing soundtrack. Watch as the shoreline transforms: from the low tide exposing sandbanks where wading birds feed and fiddler crabs wave, to the high tide rushing in to wash the sand clean. It's a celebration of nature's rhythm, the pull of the moon, and the resilient life in the tidal zone—from skippers and mud crabs to shoals of fish. A perfect soundtrack for relaxation, meditation, and appreciating the serene power of the natural world.

Lyrics (c) Marc Glasby

The tide is ever changing
the water ebbs and flows
in steady pulsing rhythm
the water comes and goes

Morning sees the sandbanks
exposed beneath the sky
The waters have receded
to leave the shoreline dry

Wading birds come searching
for buried worms and shells
Beneath the mangrove's spreading roots
is where the mud crab dwells

An endless tidal cycle... goes on along the shore,
and life along the tidal zone, abides by nature's law,
The moon will pull the waters in, a cycle twice a day,
and footprints on the golden sand will all be washed away.

Skippers from their burrows
come out to sieve the mud
and fiddler crabs are waving
their claws as red as blood

The sun now bakes the burning sand
above low water mark
and driftwood lying on the beach
is shedding strips of bark

It seems without a warning
the waters start to turn
and soon the sand that lies so still
beneath the waves will churn

An endless tidal cycle... goes on along the shore,
and life along the tidal zone, abides by nature's law,
The moon will pull the waters in, a cycle twice a day,
and footprints on the golden sand will all be washed away.

The sandbank's wet with water
as the waves begin to rise
The crabs now rush to bury in
exposing just their eyes

Shoals of fish come searching
for creatures that have died
stranded on the sandbanks
the victims of the tide

The tide is ever changing
but always stays the same
the pull between the land and sea
in nature's endless game

An endless tidal cycle... goes on along the shore,
and life along the tidal zone, is set by nature's law,
The moon will pull the waters in, they visit twice a day,
and footprints on the golden sand will all be washed away.

   • Abandoned in the Outback: The Ballad of th...  

AI music is controversial as is has the possibility of putting a lot of people in the music industry out of work BUT it also democratises music. I have zero musical talent. I can’t write music and I can’t sing but I do write lyrics that I believe are good enough to be made into songs.

So far this has only happened to two on my ballads and I have so many more that I think will make good songs.

Enter AI. I now have the opportunity to turn my words into songs and to share them with the world at large. Although my ballads have been shared for many years, people are just not interested in reading them. Songs are so much easier to digest but apart from two that were turned into songs, nobody ever bothered.

Since no one was interested in converting my ballads to music, I am not putting anyone out of work by pursuing this.

The lyrics (apart from one collaboration with Graham Rodgers for the song The Eagle) are all my own original work. The music and vocals are AI.

Should any recording artist want to take one of my songs and release it, I would be more than happy to speak with them about it.
