From the recording Gotta Start Somewhere
A bit of a light hearted song taking in the lifestyle on Queensland's Gold Coast. The intention in putting this together was to experiment with something that took on a bit of a light pop genre (both in lyrically and musically). It might be a style I will pursue in further songwriting, but happy to with the result of this little foray!
Lyrics
Woke up this morning
Sun shining bright
Got my beach gear on
It’s all feeling so right.
Living the dream
With sand in my toes
In Surfers Paradise
Where the ocean breeze blows.
Living on Surfers Paradise Boulevard
Where the rhythm of life is never too hard
Catch a wave, catch a smile and feel the groove
Here in paradise, we’ve got nothing to prove.
Living on Surfers Paradise Boulevard
Living on Surfers Paradise Boulevard
Grab a cold drink
Let the day unwind
With friends all around
It’s good times you’ll find.
Sunsets that blaze
Painting skies with delight
In Surfers Paradise
It all feels so right.
Living on Surfers Paradise Boulevard
Where the rhythm of life is never too hard
Catch a wave, catch a smile, feel the groove
Here in paradise, we’ve got nothing to prove.
Living on Surfers Paradise Boulevard
Living on Surfers Paradise Boulevard
Let’s sway to the moonlight
Let’s dream a little wild
Forget about the worries
Just like a carefree child
Beats from the beach bars
The warm beachside glow
In Surfers Paradise
Let your spirit flow.
The Esplanade’s alive
With a magic so real
Every stranger's a friend
What a glorious deal.
Surfers carving waves
Under soft summer skies
With the salt in the air
And joy in their eyes.
Living on Surfers Paradise Boulevard
Where the rhythm of life is never too hard
Catch a wave, catch a smile, feel the groove
Here in paradise, we’ve got nothing to prove.
Living on Surfers Paradise Boulevard
Living on Surfers Paradise Boulevard.
So here’s to the sunsets
And the nights full of dreams
In Surfers Paradise
Life’s more than it seems
With the waves and the laughter
Let this song play on
In our surfside heaven
We’ll forever belong
