about
This free download-only single is the second to be taken from The Columbus Memoirs, the third album from Nick Toczek & Signia Alpha, which is due for release in June 2022.
While the lyric of Dignity, the album’s first single, dealt head-on with the suffering and flight of refugees and migrants, Another Shoreline tackles the disorientation and unease of arriving in a foreign land.
The distinctive bassline is by Paul Gray (The Damned, UFO, Eddie & The Hot Rods). Matt Webster plays guitars, drums and ukulele while Simon Nolan adds mandolin, with both of them plus Harris adding their voices to Nick Toczek’s lead vocal.
lyrics
Now the shoreline lies before us
As our ship's bow ploughs into port
To a new land where new life
Fills the bewildered milling quayside
Where staring strangers are gathered there to greet us
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
Fate saved our souls as we braved
Roaring gales and sea-monsters' jaws
Which all strove to swallow us whole
But now lie lost in our wake
Across the aching ocean acres guilty of taking us
Kidnapped, press-ganged, forever from our homes
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
And so her shoreline hauls us all in
Like some fresh catch of netted fish
And we will soon forget our former homes, lost histories
Stolen loves and lives
But we will build ourselves a better time
Beneath this discovered canopy of alien stars
And anchor ourselves firmly in this new found land
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
A new dawn, another shoreline
