about

“Playa Nueva” is a song dedicated to a former surfing beach that was demolished on my home island La Palma several years ago. I spent a fair amount of my childhood years in those hippie shacks and casetas at the beach, so its demolition was sad news to me and kind of heralded the end of my adolescence.

lyrics

From goal to goal there are high waves and some you gotta dive through.
Nothing to prove but things to lose if you do not remain true.
First you learn not to run back when you see the height that it will reach.
You learn you better catch it or it will drag you right back to the beach.

What did you do? What did you do to Playa Nueva?
I miss surfing, I miss surfing in the sun.

I always like to feel the sun shine through the water on my back.
and later in the caseta watch the beautiful sunset.
and every wave was a reminder to be a skeptic to myself.
I learnt the strength of my opinions might be just as strong for someone else...

What did you do? What did you do to Playa Nueva?
I miss surfing, I miss surfing in the sun.
