A keenly building acoustic dominant tune, Coconut Shy’s uplifting ‘Water Water’ is all about moving from the past into the future. The building progression starts from a place of quiet subtlety before progressing into something wonderful and different from where things once were. Coconut Shy begins the tune describing when a good thing is ready to mean its end before then constant brooding that can come out as a fallout of it all. But, he reiterates that its the simple things, the water, that keeps us going at the end of it all.
The song is all about appreciating the simplicities of life, the tiny minutia that we ever so often take from granted. Every now and then, stop, and take a moment to think about what the world around you has to offer and embrace it. The future will always brings us anxiety and the past may always hold us down, but everything around us keeps us together and gives us a reason to keep persevering despite it all.
