About This Track

This reggae track exudes a mellow and reflective vibe, like a gentle ocean breeze rustling through cedar trees. The deep, pulsating bassline anchors the song, while the clean guitar and airy organ create a spacious, almost meditative soundscape.

Behind the Music

The song "Tide and Timber" was born from a desire to escape the relentless urban grind. The composer, weary of the city's noise and pressure, retreated to a remote island off the coast. Spending days wandering through cedar forests and listening to the ocean, they found solace and healing in the natural world. The song is a musical expression of that experience, a journey from the heavy burdens of city life to the restorative power of the sea and the woods. It's a reminder that sometimes, the simplest things – the scent of cedar, the salt air, the rhythm of the tide – can offer the greatest healing.

Lyrics

[Intro] (deep one-drop riddim starts with a heavy bass line) (melodica wails softly in the distance) (rhythmic organ skanks) [Verse 1] I leave the iron city behind The heavy load stay on the mainland Crossed over the wide water Where the system cannot follow me My feet touch the living earth The dry dust wash away [Chorus] Tide and timber (tide and timber) Healing for the spirit Salt air and cedarwood Make the weary man whole (make him whole) Tide and timber [Verse 2] The scent of the cedar is a refuge A sanctuary from the noise of men The salt air cleans the lungs Of every burden I once carried I stand where the green meet the blue Resting in the rhythm of the waves [Chorus] Tide and timber (tide and timber) Healing for the spirit Salt air and cedarwood Make the weary man whole (make him whole) Tide and timber [Bridge] No more climbing the ladder of stone The mountain of peace is enough The sun shall not smite me by day For I dwell in the shade of the branches [Outro] Peace like a river in my soul (peace like a river) Timber and the tide Let the weight fall away (let it fall) Cedarwood and salt Resting in the one-drop (in the one-drop)
