Recently I found myself away in Lincolnshire with some friends. It was by the sea, but caravan it wasn't. This song was actually written about a place in the North Island of New Zealand called The Coromandels. While the rest of NZ was plunging headlong into winter, it's still warm up top with desserted beaches and stunning rock formations edging from the mainland out into the distance. The song's pretty self-explanatory - 3 chords, some wave sound effects...
acoustic guitar with reverb and echo effects for the three chord structure and electric for the clearer notes over the top.
