about

When I was Nineteen I remember taking buses and hitching rides to surf the rainy coast of Galicia in Spain. Sleeping out exposed under the stars I lost my money in the sand thousands of miles from home. That night I prayed,under the moon, searched, and eventually accepted all of it. The next day opened up to beautiful surf and weather, and I decided to enjoy it. Nothing more to do, nowhere to go, no one to call, just the water, waves and sun...more than enough

lyrics

When I was a young man
Had nothing but my will
Remember empty pockets and sleeping on the sand
It was for the Ocean
That I woke Up
And the thrill that I had planned
Barefoot and burnt with the sun at my back
Everything was right nothing to understand
Under the moon sang my prayers and my pleas
Better than gold the horizon and me
Better than gold the horizon and me

Rain though it falls and storm it may rage
Strength I have earned Sacrifices made
Under the moon sang my prayers and my pleas
Better than gold the horizon and me
