WAVES

WAVES is the result of the "emotional rollercoaster" that was 2021, born from watching someone very close to me suffer Postnatal Depression. A time so full of joy for the new life, so full of pain for a life changed beyond recognition. Tom Robinson selected 'WAVES' for his mixtape, 31st Jan 2022, which went out on BBC 6music. BBC Radio Norfolk selected it as their BBC Introducing 'Record of the Week' that same week.

"...just stunning" Kitty Perrin BBC Introducing Norfolk "Marina knows her voice so well & writes to suit it – a low register but not quite husky & a deliberate not-quite crack in the last verse as she gets to the end. Superb." Folking.com lyrics I sailed on a sea of green I sailed on a sea of blue swam in the sea of hopeless was lost in the ocean of you I sailed on a sea of sacrifice where fear of failure abounds drifted on the sea of broken dreams as the tides of change howled short instrumental I sailed on the sea of lonely I sailed on the sea of drowned swam an ocean of fallen tears when a wall of waves tore me down I sailed on the sea of loss where no hope would be found held fast in an ocean of your love on fair winds to firmer ground instrumental we sail on the sea of green we sail on the sea of blue eased in to the sea of hopeful was saved by the ocean of you was saved by the ocean of you
