Story behind the song
Self-confessonal tale spawned from feeling lost in the crowd in a large tourist town on the ocean.
Lyrics
Night is falling on the city, City by the Sea People come and people go It's all the same to me

This is my favourite. Strong melody and great vocal. Ilike the way it has 2 moods - it's melancholy but at the same time an image of summer holiday nights. Love the Robinson Crusoe quote too.

Bill,I finally got a chance to drop by for a listen and I'm glad I did.City By The Sea is a very strong song,really interesting mix of styles and you did a great job setting the atmosphere.I think the waves/beach sounds could go a bit longer in the intro.And I really liked the interaction with the bass and drum/percussion tracks.Great job

Hip vibe here, the vocal is incredible, grew up in Newport and you really nailed it. "City By The Sea" is superb!(and so cool of you to add the link, proud to reciprocate, thank you!)

Instantly recognizable as a Bill Wright tune, with something more .. This one lingers ..

You sure you ain't related to David Bowie somehow? :D Great job, Bill; Production is top-notch, your talents are diverse, which is always a good thing...You're not locked into type of music. :) Regards, Tammy
